Listen to ‘The Ring’ in Binaural 3D Audio
BBC has uploaded a really cool program for the month of November. Fans of Koji Suzuki’s Ringu, which was remade by Gore Verbinski in 2002 as The Ring with Naomi Watts, can now listen to a one-hour binaural 3D audiobook story that seems to be inspired by the original book/film.
Binaural audio is meant to simulate a real 3D experience, as though the listener is in the room where the events are taking place. However, in order to really get the full effect of the program, you’re gonna need some good headphones, so be sure to pick up a pair for this to work its magic on you.
“British journalist Mitchell Hooper lives in Tokyo with his wife Toni. When he begins investigating the mysterious deaths of four teenagers, he discovers a nightmarish secret. They all died after watching the same video tape.
When Mitchell watches the tape himself, he is cursed to die in seven days. And so as the countdown to death begins, he must solve the riddle of the curse.
Psychological Japanese horror about a video tape that, once seen, causes death. To get the full sensory experience of this binaural edit, it’s recommended you listen to this version with a good pair of headphones. To turn up the horror put on your headphones and listen to the immersive ‘binaural’ mix of the programme for a unique 3D listening experience.”

Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
