Two teenaged girls sit together in a bedroom, as a baseball game plays in the background, they talk about a boy who has mysteriously died after watching a certain videotape. So begins the first entry in The Ring series. The premise is simple and recalls all the eerie urban legends that I remember from growing up like Bloody Mary. If you watch a particular videotape, then you will get a phone call telling you that you have seen it, after that you have 1-week to live. That idea really plays into all those mysterious deaths that I have heard about through the years where the cause of death is difficult to pinpoint. Even something as common as a car accident or a heart attack, could have something going on in the background that no one can see.
