	The "Ring" Master: Interview With Hideo Nakata
		Hideo Nakata: Well actually, the initial reception for Ghost Actress was not very good because we were on the late show for six weeks, and we counted only 800 people in 6 weeks who came to see the film.
		Hideo Nakata: There was no resistance from the producers but I did feel some doubt on their part when they asked why there wasn't a sudden death, or why I didn't show any deaths, since in the original book they describe the process of dying.
		Hideo Nakata: Mister Takahashi, who wrote the script with me, suggested strongly that we have the idea of the photos, which is actually based on a real life person named Mifune Chizuko, a paranormal.

	Hideo Nakata
		Nakata and scriptwriter Hiroshi Takahashi were asked to take the job and between them decided to strip the story down to its basics and present it with constant forward motion.
		Nakata knew this element was key to the film's success and had to be truly disturbing.
		Nakata confesses that he considers himself not a horror director, but a celluloid craftsman who believes that the careful assembly of scenes can make viewers experience a wide variety of emotions.

	Midnight Eye review: Dark Water (Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara, 2002, director: Hideo NAKATA)
		Hideo Nakata understands the concept of the old building that is alive and chose to set his film Dark Water in this type of location: an old, moldy, concrete apartment building.
		Nakata realizes that often times in horror, the location is an additional character in the cast - often co-starring.
		Hideo Nakata first scared the loose socks off of a generation joshikosei's with 1998's Ring and followed this with a number of other horror films including the 1999 sequel Ring 2, and the same year's Chaos.

	Hideo Nakata - Japanese Horror Films
		Nakata's favorites among Japanese classical horror movies are Tales of Moonlight and Rain (originally Ugetsu Monogatari, released abroad as Ugetsu), which is based on a famous work of pre-modern fiction by Akinari Ueda, and Botan-doro (Peony Lantern), a ghost story by Sanyutei Encho.
		Nakata himself did not have a Buddhist altar in his house, nor has he read Japanese classical literature since he was a college student.
		Though Nakata has become synonymous with Japanese horror movies and people automatically consider him the guru of J-horror, his initial aspirations were to create dramas with a touch of humanity.

		Hideo Nakatas American debut is in fact a remake of Ringu 2.
		Hideo Nakata is currently working on Ring 2 and next up for him will be an under-$15 million remake of The Entity at Fox Searchlight.

	Director
		Hideo Nakata was born in Okayama, Japan in 1961.
		In 1998 and 1999, Nakata quickly ascended to mega-director status with two enormous horror-entertainment hits "Ring" and "Ring 2." Both films have been released in many Asian countries, and have come to be highly regarded by both audiences and critics around the world.
		Nakata: It was a project I came up with, but I had to start a new project in order to obtain funding to finish the documentary film on Joseph Losey, which I was making at the time (as opposed to my really wanting to make a horror movie).

	Amazon.com: Chaos: DVD: Hideo Nakata,Jun Kunimura,Ken Mitsuishi,Masato Hagiwara,Miki Nakatani (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hideo Nakata, by far best-known in the west for the ultra-smash hit film Ringu, departs from the horror films that have paid his way for the past few years and delves into the straight mystery.
		Hideo Nakata, who was behind Ringu (1998), has created an interesting and suspenseful story in Chaos as the beautiful wife of a wealthy businessman vanishes.
		Nakata's better known for his horror genre entries (the first two Ring films and Dark Water), yet genre definitions hardly seem important, as he brings to bear the same technique to imbue this neo-noirish film with tension and intrigue.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Ghost Actress Movie Review
		Unfortunately, Nakata allows the ghost's early appearances to last far too long, instead of using brief flashes that make the viewer wonder what exactly they've just seen.
		Nakata himself has stated that his main mistake was to reveal the ghost too early and too completely, and it's hard to disagree.
		Given that the film is barely 75 minutes in length, Nakata could have extended it by another half-an-hour without stretching the patience of the audience.

	SaruDama: Curse, Death and Spirit - Jushiryou (Nakata Hideo 1992) - Japanese Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		We are here back in the (1992) days when Nakata's highest accomplishments were his made-for-TV short horror stories released through the ubiquitous Honto ni Atta series wherin many a great horror director had their experimental beginnings.
		Thus the true value of this collection is not for the shock value nor even perhaps for their being effective ghost stories, but rather as a glimpse into the early evolution of a director who can easily be said to be one of the most influential in the genre.
		Thus it is clear that Nakata would not haven chosen these particular tales based on their originality, but rather, I believe, on his interest in the nature of the ghosts each tale presents.

	Hideo Nakata's Latest Maze of Death, "Chaos"
		If Tarantino used his convoluted structure to resurrect a sympathetic character, Nakata uses his to emphasize everyone's essential dirtiness.
		Nakata is best known -- to say the least -- for his 1998 horror film "Ring," which spawned two sequels and a prequel in Japan, as well as Korean and American remakes.
		Considering the utterly cynical 90 minutes that preceded the ending's dark romanticism, it doesn't ring true, but Nakata's gloomy vision of mutually assured destruction loses none of its power.

		Nakata cleverly dissects the effects of divorce on the family and individual without harming his horror.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Hideo Nakata - 2003 - Chaos Movies Review
		Borrowing elements from sources like the cinema of Alfred Hitchcock and film noir, Hideo Nakata's 1999 thriller Chaos isn't something that's groundbreakingly original, yet it plays with the audience's expectations in a way that makes it interesting (and occasionally confounding) despite the familiarity of the concept.
		Nakata (who is best known for directing 1998's Ringu, which inspired the recent American remake, The Ring) crafts a dark and intriguing tale of betrayal where nothing is as it seems.
		Nakata's direction seems much more assured here than it did in his earlier film (a film that I continue to think is vastly overrated even in the pantheon of Japanese horror cinema).

	Ghost of a flea: Hideo Nakata
		I rented Dark Water and it might be the most frightening film I have ever seen, not surprising given it was written by Koji Suzuki of Ringu fame.
		The direction and music were astonishing, however, so I decided to find more films by its director, also of Ringu fame, Hideo Nakata.
		Channel 4 is somewhat dismissive of the region 2 Chaos dvd's inclusion of Curse, Death And Spirit as a nod to Nakata completists.

	Amazon.ca: The Ring Two (Unrated Edition): DVD: Hideo Nakata,Noam Murro,Gary Cole,Elizabeth Perkins,Sissy Spacek,Naomi ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Also starring Sissy Spacek, The Ring 2 was directed by Hideo Nakata; it was the first English-language project for the Japanese filmmaker, who previously made Ringu, the picture that was the basis for The Ring.
		I think it was quite a coup to get Hideo Nakata, the director of Ringu and Ringu 2, to direct here, but I think the vision he brings to this film also explains part of the disconnect we've seen with some fans of The Ring.
		I love Samara, though; thankfully, Nakata chose not to go the CGI route with her at all (even still, she's not half as creepy as her original Japanese counterpart), which would have made a mockery of the whole creep factor.

	Movie Forums - Hideo Nakata's DARK WATER (director of RINGU)
		As with the Ring, a lot of the terror and horrror are implied rather than seen, and Nakata uses the film's dark and dread-filled setting to good effect.
		The juxtapositioning of the mother's emotional upheaval with that of her struggles against supernatural forces is extremely well done and Nakata deserves credit for creating a horror film against the backdrop of issues such as maternal love and sacrifice, feelings of guilt, alienation and desperation.
		This is unfortunate since The Ring marked Nakata's entry to the horror genre and established his trademark dramatic and visual style.
