best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

In this prequel to Ring, a young Sadako becomes an actress in hopes of escaping her troubled past. But strange visions and terrifying powers begin to manifest. Ringu 0 is truly an actual zero since it was probably the biggest letdown and most boring prequel that i have ever seen in my actual life since nothing actually happened in this movie except the fact that this girl in the end fall down like 50 times every 3 or 5 seconds and that's the premise of the film, a total, colossal and quite just boring nothingness that doesn't do anything or offer anything. (0/10)

Ring and Ring 2 were fantastic horror films that I to this day love and terrify me. Ring 0..Ring 0 tells the story back in the 50's where Sadako is represented as two sides;a good side and a bad side. The good side is in a theater group and soon enough the staff start to die mysteriously and it all leads up to Sadako,the evil side is a little girl who is not really in it that much. Ring 0 sounded like it was going to be the best film in years I mean two Sadako's ehhhh WOW! sadly,i was wrong..Ring 0 was a very boring movie. I think that this should have stood out as a movie on its own like maybe a different film but same idea. I think the problem was the director,Hideo Nakata did not sadly return to make this film. The ending scene was kind off what kept it from being a pile of crap but ehh..ya. Ring 0 ruins the Ring franchise sadly what used to be the scariest horror franchise is nothing now..

Sadako is a shy girl who becomes a student of a drama club. The director likes her and think she is very talented girl, but other actors and actresses are jealous of her and find her strange, Toyama being the only exception. The lead actress of the play of the drama club suddenly dies, and the director chooses Sadako to be in her place. Many mysterious deaths starts to occur, at the same time, we have a reporter who knows the truth about Sadako's secrets and who is going to makes her life even harder, specially when everybody starts to be suspicious that Sadako was the responsible for all the deaths.''Ringu 0: Bâsudei ''is the prequel to the horror film Ringu. Here, we can see all the reasons why Sadako became the bizarre spirit crazy for vengeance. The only problem is that the movie doesn't explain many things that will happen in the next movies( like the cursed videotape) or other things, like Sadako's twin sister (who doesn't see to have any logic at all in her existence).In my opinion it is very weak as a horror movie, and staying only with the first''Ring'' would be a better choice for the series.

Even though never a fan of the original to begin with, I once was stupid enough to buy a box set containing all four "Ringu"-films and now I'm stuck with it! So, like it or not, but here's another negative review on the immensely overrated "Ringu"-series, more particularly about the totally redundant and soporific "Birthday". Ringu 0, is it? Well, that's exactly the rating it can get: zero out of ten. This is a prequel, set approximately 30 years before the murderous videotape events of "Ringu" and revolving entirely on the character of Sadako when she was in her late teens. I have absolutely no idea why, though, because she's an uninteresting and dull person. Several years after her mother's suicide turned Sadako into an emotional wreck, she suddenly decides to join a theater club and become an actress. This all goes well for a while as she seems talented and she even snares herself a boyfriend. It takes approximately ten minutes before boredom similar to the previous two films kicks in and – even worse – this installment also suffers from horrible clichés. Sadako turns out the Japanese equivalent of Carrie and her spiritual forces inflict light-bulb implosions and stage machinery falling down by itself. The most embarrassing cliché is kept until the end, when the plot suddenly suggests the existence of an evil-twin sister nobody knows about. Oh please! Personally, I don't think it's such a great idea to fool your audiences into believing Sadako's spirit represents pure evil during two whole films, only to portray her as a poor and emotionally fragile girl afterwards. Isn't that like ruining the franchise's whole power? There's no suspense or atmosphere to detect anywhere, acting & directing are mediocre and the few action sequences are way too soft. Forget about "Ringu" and let's watch some REAL horror instead, shall we?
