Sleeping Bride is an oft-overlooked entry in the filmography of the director Hideo Nakata. Made after his two world-famous Ring films and two years before his acclaimed Dark Water it is a quirky some might say perversely one-sided romance between a boy and the comatose girl with whom he falls in love. It is also based on a 1971 manga story written for a teen magazine by the creator of Astro Boy Osamu Tezuka.
