Harefooted Halloween: Ringu 0: Birthday

Ringu 0's Sadako...kinda different if you ask me

What I Liked: When Sadako finally shows up in the form that we all know and love, she looks great.  Nice eerie ass movements.

What I Didn’t Like: Everything except that one thing I said above.

Overall Impression: I’ll be honest here, I wasn’t going to write about this one because there isn’t a whole lot to say.  The story goes something like: young Sadako struggles with her (evil-ish) powers during that time she joined an acting troupe.  Ok, maybe that concept is worth at least mentioning because fuck, that’s the oddest plot to a Ring movie yet.  But because I wanted to say a few things about Sadako 3D I needed this in here to bridge the gap.

This movie fills in Sadako’s backstory and takes place around 1970.  They made her into a real person with emotions and even a love interest.  Fucking Sadako falls in fucking love guys.  But that’s not even the strangest part of what the filmmakers are trying to sell you.  I won’t spoil it but the ending (aside from the brief moment where we get the Sadako form we’re used to) is just plain dumb.   

I scratched my head the entire time trying to figure out why some people thought this picture needed to exist.  It’s made well and all but the ideas presented are wack.
