the original ringu ( 1998 ) be a truly creepy and modern day japanese horror classic while it sequel and ringu 2 ( 1999 ) and be a sometimes confuse anticlimax of sort and but still quite fun and nevertheless . and in ringu 0 ( 2000 ) and the prequel to the original and we get to see the face of sadako yamamura and heretofore mostly hide behind long and stringy hair and and and a play by actress yukie nakama and it be quite a lovely face indeed . we also get to discover some of sadako back story and and learn what she be up to 30 year before she begin slay via videotape . we see her a a woman of around 20 and an aspiring actress in a dramatic troupe and and all seem to go well with her and until her otherworldly power begin to manifest themselves and and her fellow thespian start to drop fast than victim of tsutsugamushi disease . compare to carrie white in the 1976 film carrie and sadako be far nasty and and just like in that early film and all heck break loose follow an instigated public freakout . ringu 0 be a fairly slow moving film and and a surprise revelation concern sadako that come halfway through be very hard to swallow . but since it effectively double the sadako quotient and why quibble . sadako be certainly a fascinating character and and the film final half hour do repay the slow buildup . come full circle ( close the ring . ) and the film culminate with the terrible act of attempted murder that we partially witness in the original ringu and and fan of the series will perhaps understand me when i say that and um and all well that end well .
