FRIGHT FEST 2026

All roads lead back to RINGU—the blockbuster Japanese horror movie that inspired a million nightmares (and ripoffs and remakes) with its phantasmic elegance. Television journalist Reiko investigates an urban legend about a cursed VHS tape that murders the viewer seven days after they watch it. As the mystery hits closer to home, Reiko joins forces with ex-husband/current-exorcist Takashi to destroy the curse. And (hopefully) survive an encounter with a ghost named Sadako. Directed by Hideo Nakata (DARK WATER), RINGU is the highest grossing Japanese horror movie in history that STILL manages to shred our nerves.

Featuring a new 4K restoration from Arrow Films.

Tickets: $10 General Admission / $5 Members & UNL Students
A festival pass, good for discounted admission, will be available at The Ross box office.
