Nakata made Ring, the film that started J-horror's international wave: a reporter investigates a cursed videotape after her niece dies of sudden heart failure with a look of terror on her face. His horror relies on dread, water, long black hair and the things technology carries into the home. He also directed segments of the TV anthology School Ghost Story F and the Death Note spin-off L: Change the WorLd.
