An alternate sequel to RINGU, not really continuing the horror story but rather offering explanation and a different outcome. Not bad, but we can't have both. This one is almost vampiric in its reveal about how to overcome, or escape the Ring.
A sort of original sequel to Ringu, it unfortunately did not impress too much. The film is certainly much more faithful to the book, but this in turn destroys the paranormal elements. Instead of a horror we have a medical science fiction thriller. Too much exposition and explanat...( read more)
I didn't mind the scientific explanations for the cursed videotape, but what didn't work for me was how this movie tries to scare you with extreme gore. Ringu proved that what isn't shown is much scarier than what is. This is a step back for the Ring saga.
Poor follow up to Ringu.
It drops the ball in the first 10 minutes with more inconsistencies and continuity problems than most slasher sequels. Plus it strays so far from the first film that it no longer resembles a Ringu film.
Its a spiral alright, straight down.
Now here is a weird one. Like a sequel in a parallel universe where characters from the original Ring do very odd things. This really isn't a horor. Or a thriller. Not quite a sci fi and definitely not a drama. I really don't know how to catagorize this. The filmmakers do t...( read more)
The alternative sequel to Ringu, this movie was more dramatic than it was horror. with very little scares and one or two intense scenes, this movie felt kind of bland and it had little satisfaction when it was done. It felt more like an artistic kind of movie that totally went ag...( read more)
this is the story of a man who betrayed the world to get his son back--selfish, but very human. i think i like this sequel better than Ringu 2. though, it had one major glitch: no yukie nakama!
Rasen is honestly one of the worst horror films that I have ever seen. The plot is ridiculous, the acting is horrendous, and the script is terrible. It's a major disappointment since Ringu was a really good movie, but this isn't even along the same story line.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Rasen" !
