Simply Perfect

Fresh and Exciting

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Akane is a high school teacher who hears a rumor from her students that there is actual footage on the Internet of someone's suicide. The footage is said to drive anyone who sees it to also commit suicide. Akane does not believe the rumor at first, but when one of her female students dies after viewing the footage, she and her boyfriend Takanori are fatefully drawn into the horror. Sadako 3D was even more stupid than i expected it to be but also way more boring and cheesy that anyone else would also expect and a total waste of time and money. (0/10)

In Japan, there is an urban legend that there is a cursed video clip of a suicide released by a man called Kashiwada (Yûsuke Yamamoto) in Internet that drives the viewer also to commit suicide. When the high- school student Noriko Morisaki seeks the video in classroom, her teacher Akane (Satomi Ishihara) takes her cellular to return it after class. But soon Noriko watches the footage at home and dies and the police inspector Koiso goes to the school to interview Akane and her students. Koiso's assistant Nakamura believes that the video is real, but Koiso does not pay much attention on him. When Akane's boyfriend Takanori (Kôji Seto) is captured by a woman in the video and Koiso witnesses Nakamura committing suicide, they investigate Kashiwada and discover that his intention is to bring Sadako (Ai Hashimoto) back to a new body and Akane is the chosen one. Now Akane has to fight against Sadako to bring Takanori back and save her life."Sadako 3D" is a very bad Japanese horror movie with a senseless story. The plot is silly, with Kashiwada releasing the video to find a strong body to revive Sadako and they actually want Akane's body. Akane uses her super-scream to get rid of the supernatural creatures as if it were a comedy. So why do they need to make a video to kill people? They are very powerful and wouldn't be easier if they simply find Akane and use her body to revive Sadako? The conclusion is awful and in the end only the gorgeous lead actress Satomi Ishihara is worth to be watched in this terrible movie. My vote is two. Title (Brazil): "A Invocação 3D" ("The Invocation 3D")

Wow, we have a new format. Quick, let's exploit it by remaking/rereleasing an old film in said new format and millions will be made.Now, 'Ringu' is a film that actually might work with the 3D format… except that it isn't. 'Ringu' is largely a suspense film, as a reporter seeks to unravel the mystery behind the deaths of some local students. The film is very darkly shot and uses slow, moody shots, before one final moment at the end that would be made that bit more special in 3D. Therefore, to justify making a film based on Koji Suzuki's original novel 'Ring' and ripping-off Hideo Nakata's film adaptation in 3D format, there needs to be a lot more thrown in to make it seem worthwhile.With this the case, the suspense, intrigue and fear created by 'Ringu' is thrown out the window for endless moments designed simply to make you jump by adding unnecessary bangs and people walking up behind someone to make their pulse race. It's the 21st Century, so video is thrown out for viral content on the Internet and the cast all seem younger and more attractive (sorry Yurei Yanagi, you look like a monkey), and as such are much worse actors.Being in Nihon-go, I couldn't fully understand the plot, not that that was particularly necessary. People try to watch a video online, if they succeed they die soon after. Simple. The ending, however, becomes farcical, again trying to justify the 3D format further and is neither scary nor good. The best part of the film is the end credits, for more than one reason.With two trailers before it for the new 'MIB 3' (do we need this?!) and the new 'Amazing Spiderman' – a character necessary to remake with a new lead actor as there have only been at least three Spiderman films made in the last decade – it seems that films are merely going to be lazy remakes of old stories in a new format, displaying a lack of creativity or substance, from here on in. So, just like the cinema of the last ten years then…www.politic1983.blogspot.com

This piece of rat-infested dog poop is simply not worth watching. Almost everything about this film is just wrong. The onryo ghost, which I personally find to be a very chilling entity, is included in a variety of laughably stupid sequences. The way the horror scenes were constructed is grade D filmmaking at its worst. We're talking head-slapping stupidity. For example, Sadako is "controlled" by a young dude with an oh-so-lame Japanese rockstar fashion sense who is played by an actor who should not be working. Right from the opening scene, this guy is an absolute embarrassment with his terribly acted "evil laugh." Imagine if Michael Cera tried to be scary, and this is what you'd get. Sadako just friggin' pops out everywhere, like some mentally challenged CGI jack-in-the-box. There's no emphasis on creepiness or atmosphere at all. The storyline is also haphazard and totally boring. There's literally no talent behind or in front of the camera here. Everyone involved in this travesty should be thrown down a well.If you're looking for good recent Japanese horror, check out "Tormented" (2011), "X Game" (2010), "Tomie Unlimited" (2011), "Kaidan Horror Classics 1-4" (2010), and "Gomenasai" (2011).
