Directed by Hideo Nakata, the J-horror masterpiece Ringu was based on a book released a few years earlier and it tells the tale of the vengeful spirit of a child that comes out of the screen to kill you if you watch their Stan Brakhagesque cursed tape! Sadako's aesthetic has become an universal pop culture symbol for fear and the deadly presence of beings from the aftelife in relation to elements familiar to us and present in our daily lives, such as TV devices -- and VHS tapes.
