Well The Ring 3 IS supposed to be coming up soon! SERIOUSLY! lol

Well, they did do a third film in Japan - it was a prequel though - "Ring 0 - Birthday", focussing on Sadako as a teenager before her powers consumed her....

 

...Or is it a third US film....?

Yeah, "Ring Virus"....

 

Oh, and not forgetting the little-known Japanese follow up "Spiral", which was actually based upon the second book in Koji Suzuki's trilogy, as opposed to the "official" Nakata sequel which has sod all to do with the actual book itself, it goes off on another narrative direction entirely....

 

It's confusing as hell really.... I thought this might be a proper end to the trilogy - a film based upon "Loop", the third book in the trilogy....

 

So, let's just lay this out shall we and establish exactly what we're talking about...

 

Japan -

Ringu - The first film from Japan based upon the book by Koji Suzuki

Ringu 2 - The "sequel" to the first film, also done by Nakata, but has nothing in common with "Spiral" (Rasen), the second book in the trilogy

Ringu 0 - A Prequel, which has even less to do with Suzuki's trilogy

Spiral - An actual adaption of Suzuki's second book which focusses less on horror, more on psychogical drama, more of a proper "sequel" in terms of following the narrative of the books than the official film sequel...

 

Korea

Ring Virus - Based upon the Japanese film and Suzuki's first book. Is apparently more like the book than Ringu is, the horror elements are played down in favour of a more adult drama

 

US

The Ring - First US film based upon the Japanese film

Ring 2 - Not related in the slightest to either the book "Spiral", or the Japanese "Ringu 2", a totally different narrative

 

Frankly, I'd like to see somebody tackling the real ending to the trilogy - "Loop"....

 

 

 

I really liked the first 2 so I look forward to seeing this
Which "first two" are you talking about though....? :lol: :P

 

the US ones, I don't think I could watch a film in another language

Then you're missing out on a lot mate, trust me... I honestly dunno why you'd want to be content with watching the rather ropey remakes over the superior originals tbh....

 

Viewing subtitles aint as difficult as you thin actually, once you make the adjustment, it's really not that bad....

 

Some other great horror/suspense/dark fantasy films your missing out on include "Frontiere(s)", "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage), "Pan's Labyrinth", "[Rec]", "Calvaire" (The Ordeal), "Satan".... Seriously, give it a go some time, theres' a lot out there that's better than the hoary c**p that Hollywood is coming out with at the moment.... ;)

:/ How ignorant.

 

'Volver' is one of the best films I have seen in recent years.
