10 Must See Made For TV Horror Movies
1. Ring (1995)
While many will be familiar with the Ring franchise due to the 1998 Japanese movie, the 2002 English language remake, or the various sequels to those films, the very first adaptation of Koji Suzuki's 1991 novel came in the shape of a 1995 made-for-TV movie.
For the most part, this is very much what you remember from the subsequent theatrical adaptations, with Sadako Yamamura and the cursed VHS tape at the centre of this tale. However, this TV movie is slightly different to those other pictures in how it is more faithful to Suzuki's novel, particularly where it pertains to Sadako.
Airing on Fuji TV as simply Ring, the film received a home media release the following year under the title of Ring: Kanzenban, which translates as Ring: The Complete Edition. And while it's never received a physical release outside of Japan, the '95 Ring can be easily found online for curious horror fans to check out - if nothing else, just to see the differences from the 1998 and 2002 adaptations.
