She finds and watches a videotape in her cousin's home that predicts its viewer's death in a week's time; the tape, however, cuts off at the point where it seems about to provide an antidote to this curse. The heroine, together with a lecherous doctor who harbors sympathy for supernatural concerns, must solve the puzzle presented by the tape and the multiple unexplained deaths without allowing the information to fall into the wrong hands. Gripping, emotional, and thoroughly entertaining, this film is a must-see for anyone who enjoyed THE RING, as well as horror fans in general. [More]
