Sadako is back. Again. The biggest curse of these franchises is that they can't seem to stop when they're ahead. The latest in the Ringu series is a mix of a reboot and spin-off, but its deluxe moniker seems wholly unearned and the film ended up looking more like a cheap knock-off from the original films.

The scares are cheap, the Sadako curse is anything but scary and the plot takes up way too much screentime. Things get a little better during the second half, but meager performances, basic styling, and a lack of tension get in the way. I wish they'd just stop making new Sadako-based films until there's an actual reason to reboot the franchise.
