The ring which type of horror movie?

The Ring is a 2002 American supernatural horror film directed by Gore Verbinski, written by Ehren Kruger, and starring Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox, David Dorfman, and Jane Alexander. The film is a remake of the 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu, directed by Hideo Nakata, which was based on a 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki. The plot revolves around a cursed VHS tape that kills anyone who watches it after seven days.

The Ring is considered to be a "J-horror" film, a term used to describe Japanese horror films that have been remade for American audiences. J-horror films are typically characterized by their use of slow pacing, atmospheric cinematography, and a focus on psychological horror rather than gore or violence. The Ring was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $249 million worldwide against a production budget of $48 million. It was followed by two sequels, The Ring Two (2005) and Rings (2017).
