The premise

Akane is a high school teacher who hears a rumor from her students that there is actual footage on the Internet of someone's suicide. The footage is said to drive anyone who sees it to also commit suicide. Akane does not believe the rumor at first, but when one of her female students dies after viewing the footage, she and her boyfriend Takanori are fatefully drawn into the horror that has been created by the man who appears in the suicide footage, Kashiwada. Kashiwada's intention is to create chaos in the world by bringing back Sadako and the power of her curse. Now Akane has to fight against Sadako and Kashiwada to save the lives of herself and Takanori.

Horror Vault's take

When a disturbing video circulating online is rumored to drive its viewers to suicide, high school teacher Akane is forced to take the threat seriously after tragedy strikes close to home. Drawn into a sinister conspiracy involving a dangerous man determined to resurrect a legendary evil, Akane and her boyfriend find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of an ancient and terrifying curse. This entry in the iconic Ring franchise reimagines Sadako's deadly reach for the age of internet virality and social media fear. Presented in 3D, the film brings Japan's most iconic long-haired specter back with a modern, visually aggressive edge.
