it's a hard choice...but i feel like matsushima's characters always have the same core so that it makes it easier for her to play the part...so maybe tokiwa is a bit more talented in that respect, since i think she seems VERY believable!

Starring: Nanako Matsushima, Miki Nakatani Director: Hideo Nakata Rating
This brilliant premise fueled the 2002 Hollywood hit The Ring, but before that it conquered Japan in Ringu, Hideo Nakata's quietly unsettling study in terror.
Fans of the U.S. version will find a less elaborate storyline and more primal fear in the original; the basic plot, however, still has a worried reporter (Nanako Matsushima) tracking down the meaning of the video--and, having watched it herself, she has only a week to work.

Cast: Nanako Matsushima, Miki Nakatani, Hiroyuki Sanada, Yuko Takeuchi
Following the death of her niece under mysterious conditions Reiko (Matsushima Nanako), a journalist, decides to investigate an urban legend that says that a person will die exactly one week after having watched a supposedly "cursed" video cassette.
Based on Koji Suzuki's novel, Ringu generated a sequel, a prequel, a TV series and an American remake; a popular success which reflects the vitality of Asian horror cinema but also its supremacy in a genre stuck in the full stagnation of parody.
