though a little bit confuse at time and this movie be everything i expect from a ringu prequel . the only reason that doesn not make this one my favorite of the series be because it couldn not exist without the others . ringu 1 and 2 be more than a prerequisite while you have to see them to plainly enjoy this one . of course and i love asian horror and from audition to the eye to chinese ghost story . what i mean be represent if youre not into asian horror film do not start with ringu 0 and you might get lose and never want to experience it again . if youre a fan of the original ringu and other asian ghost movie and go ahead and enjoy . you will get to know a little better who sadako really be before she die and how the curse be bear and what make this whole story so sad and scary at the same time . i also recommend to watch it more than once because it have nothing to do with american fastfood film making and so there might be thing that be misunderstand during the first viewing . the order i suggest to follow if you haven not see any of the ringu film represent start with part 1 and then part 2 and then part 0. there another movie call rasen which i haven not see yet and so i can not tell you about it .
