On Dreamworks Home Entertainment’s release of the unsettling horror movie 'The Ring' you can find a hidden feature that is just as unsettling, so make sure to check it out.

Insert the DVD in your player and wait until the Main Menu comes up. Now press the 'Up' arrow key on your remote control and the cursor will disappear. If you press the 'Enter' key now on your remote control you will get to see the entire footage of the deadly videotape from the movie. Once it is over, you will be returned to the Main Menu and a few seconds later the phone will ring...
