S. C A lot of it could have used some more work but some scenes are very well shot, edited and directed. The begining was a weird decision and felt out of place. The whole chase scene in the woods felt a bit like a fever dream and overwhelming. I found a few of the performances really nice but rest of it wasn't really captivating. I enjoyed that the story had dimensions to it with the theatre play. In the sequel it is stated that Sadako survived 30 years in the well and in this prequel it is made clear that she did so apparently due to her regenerative abilities, which I found cool to add. Most lacking thing is the writing. Looking at a summarized plot would be alright but when getting into detail it gets ugly. There are turns that are not well elaborated and scenes which are downright confusing. Some actors are given noticably worse scripts than others, and some are far less compelling actors than others, too. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Justin T It is quite nicely shot, it sounded good and so on. Nothing stands out though. Where is the video tape? I understand that they were doing something different by explaining the girl in the well but this barely feels like a Ring movie. It is a pretty standard ghost story that adds little back-story to the series. It reminded me more of Carrie (1976) than anything else. There was a lack of intensity at the end and a lack of scares throughout making it worse than the predecessors. A disappointing entry into the series that solely focuses on back-story. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A prequel that goes a radically different way. Not at all what you would expect from this mythology, but it's kind of interesting. Not at all how I would've thought Sadako to be in life. It's not much of a conventional horror movie either. It's kind of dull, trying to play up an eerie slow burn, but ultimately failing to hold my interest after a while.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Prequel dei due film precendenti , più riuscito di the ring 2 e anche molto più spaventoso , finalmente sadako ha le sue origini da incubi!
