Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata released worldwide in 1998. The film centers on a psionically created video cassette that murders those who view it. The success of the film and its subsequent American remake led to the prevalence of "possessed object" horror in the early 20th century, a trend often linked to the public's growing apprehension surrounding advances in the development of artificial intelligence (A.I.). The film was a stated influence for the late stages of Solomon's Key, an NES title of byzantine difficulty.
