Abstract

The examination of Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films presents the compelling opportunity to analyze the imagination of ghosts and haunting in diverse cultures. In 1998, Ringu, directed by Nakata Hideo, was released to widespread acclaim. Four years later, Gore Verbinski’s The Ring (2002) was released in the United States. The latter film was criticized as a retelling of the hit Japanese thriller, little more than a Hollywood knock off.
