#13: The Ring (2002)
The Ring introduced Japanese-style horror to a whole new audience. A cursed videotape kills anyone who watches it within seven days. The idea is simple, but it is terrifyingly executed. Naomi Watts grounds the supernatural in reality, her performance growing more desperate as the days tick down. By the time that pale figure crawls out of the TV, you realize the fear has already settled in. An instant horror cult classic.
