Ring Zero

[HappyCamper]

anybody heard of Ring Zero? Was just wondering what it's about... i personally didn't think 'The Ring' was that great.

[Vodstok]

Yeah, well, she doesnt think you're all that great either

Just Kidding. I have no idea what ring zero is.

Ring 0, AKA Ring 0: Birthday. It's a flashback to the last few months of Sadako's life. Mostly boring, irritating and awful, but the last fifteen minutes is fantastic, IMHO.

I have #1 & #2,
I thought the first one was much scarier and had more of a tense atmosphere than the US film (which I also saw, and it wasn't bad)
I haven't yet watched the second one....anyone who's seen it, is it any good?
As for #0, I want to buy it, if only to complete the collection....I am now wondering, mictlan, what is so great about the last 15 minutes? Is she like recording a tape, saying "Im gonna get these fuckers so bad, theyre gonna make 3 movies about me"???

I have an idea that this movie is a prequel. Are they going to be remaking it? along with ring 2.

[McDonnyDude666]

Ive seen...

Ring (asian original)
Ring 2(asian sequel)
Ring 0 (Asian prequel)
The Ring (American remake)

I thought il just post them to clear them all up in case you dont about the series.I have seen all of them apart from Ring 0.

Without a spoiler it's hard to be specific... the pretty and kind Sadako that the film introduces changes in the last fifteen minutes. There's a sound effect that you hear as she walks that is pretty distrubing... and she demonstrates that she doesn't need videotapes to be scary or mess people up. It's intense. There's a nice pic here (http://ringworld.somrux.com/obake.htm).

Hey, is it just me, or did they superimpose a face on that chica? The head looks way too big for the shoulders. And...I still say she's comprable the Reagan (not the Pres, but close).

[mictlan]

no, no superimposition, that's an action shot. the screwed-up proportions are part of what makes the whole scene feel uneasy.

[Haunted]

Really?? That's really cool. That little girl could scare the shit outta someone.

Thanks for clearing that up.

[regan12]

[cheebacheeba]

[crazy clown]

are they gonna make a version of this movie in america also? does anybody know when the ring 2 is comming out? wasn't really a fan of the first one but i'll go see the sequel just because.

[cheebacheeba]

The Ring (US version) will have a sequel, with some returning cast, although apparently it's not going to be a little more different to the second "ringu" than the first one was.

[HighPriestWise]

That sounds cool!
