From the creator of Dead Girl Walking (2004) and Grotesque (2009), this tribute/mix/rendition/revisit/crossover of two great myths in Japanese horror film are coming together; in other words, The Ring (1997) and The Grudge (2003). Dripping with sharp, yet delicious and playful, humour, it revives the terror always struck in our hearts by VHS tapes that held ghosts and curses inside, Sadako vs Kayako even dares to make, and be, a juicy analysis of urban legends. Filmed with 4K technology, whether you believe it or not, this infinite and infamous joke began April 1st (April Fool's Day) when it occurred to someone to put Sadako and Kayako together on a poster. Then came the movie. Oh, and it's supported by Universal itself!
