I really enjoy the way the eastern cinema presents horror. It is amazing the way they join the Asian culture, their myths and their paraphysical experiences with their modern way of living and thinking. Unfortunately, this trilogy was quite disappointed. First of all, the scenario was full of gaps. I my-self, as a western audience, I'm not familiar with the eastern tradition and myths, and I enjoy a more realistic approach of what it is called metaphysic. Watching the first two films of the trilogy, I was full of questions about Sadaco's origin and about her motives. I was hopping that the third movie would have been more explanatory. In addiction to that, Ring Birth had not succeed in giving answers, on the contrary. Who was Sadaco's father, who was the other Sadaco, has she really died, why she couldn't escape, why the reporter was after her and so on. The dialogue and the plot was poor. The unexpected end was totally out of space and the actor surely have not nominated for an oscar.
This thriller had all the elements for becoming a very good movie. But there is something in it that doesn't fit at all. Probably, it's because we are used to films that their inner coherence and structure is visible. The myth was interesting, so I suggest the director to make another film as well. And this time, he should be more specific and direct.
