Back in 1998 the Japanese horror film Ringu, or Ring, was released. It was directed by Hideo Nakata and based on author Koji Suzuki‘s 1991 novel of the same name, which was the first in a series of books. Multiple adaptations of Suzuki’s stories have come and gone over the years, including Ringu 2/Ring 2 (also directed by Nakata) in 1999. The tales inspired an American version, 2002’s The Ring, which was followed by The Ring Two (once again directed by Nakata) in 2005, and Rings in 2017.
