Hot on the heels of me being completely offended by Sadako 3D (review), word has come that a sequel is not only on its way, but it's hitting Japanese theatres on August 30th. There is, however, one bright spot to this debacle.

We've got some good news and some bad news for you, kids. Let's start with the bad... Tsutomu Hanabusa (Sadako 3D) is once again directing. Yeah, that hurts. It hurts a lot. However, original Ring author Kôji Suzuki. That's something, right? Miori Takimoto stars.

We'll bring you more on this one as soon as we get it, if only because we're hoping that the involvement of Suzuki can finally steer this ship back on course. Well, that and we are gluttons for punishment. Stay tuned.

Synopsis

Fuko Ando (Miori Takimoto), a 24-year-old graduate student in psychology, is tasked to care for her 4-year-old niece. Soon mysterious events begin to occur around her niece. »

Oh, Sadako 3D. How unfulfilled I was left after watching you. I waited many months for a proper U.S. release and Well Go USA fulfilled my want. Unfortunately, my excitement was drowned out by an offensive mish mash of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and The Exorcist: The Version You've never Seen.

A high school teacher named Akane (Satomi Ishihara) hears rumors of a cursed video clip circulating online. The clip is said to show a man, Kashiwada (Yûsuke Yamamoto), commiting suicide. Supposedly, anyone who watches the video is driven to commit suicide themselves. Akane refuses to believe the rumors until one of her students mysteriously dies after viewing it.

Akane soon discovers that Kashiwada intends to use the clip to cause chaos and death, which will help the spirit of Sadako (Ai Hashimoto) find a host body for her to possess. »

You can’t keep a ghost down. Especially a pissed off ghost girl. Hell hath no fury, and all of that. Sadako, thought dead in, er, the 50 other movies about her, is back. Again. She stalked the Internets in last year’s “Sadako 3D” (read our review of that film here), and is back once again in “Sadako 3D 2″. Hey, it’s not like the Japanese film industry is any different from Hollywood, you know. If it makes money, they’ll keep doing it. “Sadako 3D 2″ is directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa, who also helmed last year’s reboot of the franchise. The two films have some good pedigree behind them, though. Kôji Suzuki, who wrote the book that was turned into the “Ring” movies, is back to write the “Sadako” films. So if nothing else, there are those very solid ties to the original characters here. The first »

Around these parts we are big fans of the Japanese Ring films. Hell, even the American version of The Ring was pretty good. Sure, the Japanese TV show sucked and the American The Ring 2 left Lots to be desired, so we're hoping Sadako 3D can right some wrongs.
