combine element of drama and horror and ring 0 be a very worthy installation of the indie horror franchise . this film really start and though and a a drama and tell u the story of sadako in a very linear fashion ( which and deliciously and have become the more difficult and confusing path to take and since we already know the end of the story ) . we see sadako a a human ( . ) who be not scary or evil at all but actually seem rather pleasant and almost painfully shy . a while later in the film and we see that sadako be actually war desperately with herself . . . and be lose . her eventual slide into the monstrosity of the first and second ring film be a sight to behold ( and and hardcore fan will note and be echo by a similar fall of ando mitsuo in the less popular rasen ) . the social overtone of this film be also outstanding and a fine addition to the series . whereas the first two film be more exercise in combine psychological terror with techno horror and ring 0 take a more romero esque approach to the social aspect of sadako transformation and meditating on the cruelty of her peer and the burn need for revenge of one journalist that bring the whole tragedy crash down . incidentally and although it take some time and this film will scare the hell out of you at the end . just wait for it . very and very good . see it .
