In 1998, Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata adapted writer Koji Suzuki’s 1992 horror novel, Ring (aka: Ringu), for the screen. It was a huge success and inspired the domestic remake by director Gore Verbinski in 2002. The Ring Two (directed by Nakata) followed in 2005 and a third installment, Rings (by filmmaker F. Javier Gutierrez) opened theatrically in Feb. of 2017.
Shout! Studios has bundled all three films into one collection (a 3 4K Ultra HD/3 Blu-ray Combo Pack). These are all new 4K film restorations.
The bonus features for Ring include a collection of deleted footage, the 2005 short film titled Rings, two featurettes — the newly prepared “Ghost Girl Gone Global” and the vintage featurette titled “The Origin of Terror” — and video sessions with the cast and crew.
As to The Ring Two bonus goodies, fans have two viewing options — the theatrical cut and an unrated version of the film. There is a new commentary featuring film critics Emily Higgins and Billy Dunham, deleted scenes and “The Making of The Ring Two” featurette.
Finally, Rings includes (as bonuses) a trio of deleted and/or extended scenes.
