Long abstractGore Verbinski’s 2002 filmThe Ringis a remake of the popular Japanese horror movieRingu (1998), directed by Hideo Nakata. Both films tell the story of a cursed vide-otape whose viewers die gruesome deaths seven days after they watch it. At the level of both plot and visual style, Verbinski’s departures from Ringuare deeply in-debted to the conventions of the gothic novel, especially as they were mediated by European and American cine-ma. This gothic aesthetic “translates” Ringu into a more familiar Hollywood idiom for the benefit of North Ameri-can viewers. Many of The Ring’s gothic innovations have long pedigrees, some of which stretch back to premodern painting and thought.
