Sadako 3D (2012)
Great Comedy
Rarely do I ever bother to rate anything, and rarely do I have the urge to leave the movie midway.
Highly anticipating some updates in the special effects department and a twisting storyline, I sat down with my favorite drink and proceeded to watch with high expectations of a good scare. The starting scene featured a well dressed man, probably at the peak of his madness (but still taking the time to groom himself well and dressing so fashionably) trying to kill himself. Warning bells started to ring in my head, everything screamed 'overkill!!' and i started to doubt whether the rest of the movie will be the same.
Your typical Japanese film, where the guys look like girls, and the girls look like sailor moon characters. The acting was terrible, the cast should have concentrated on their acting skills instead of spending so much time on their hair and clothes. No thanks to the script writers, the storyline was just stupid, laws of physics didn't make sense (how does a huge hand pop out from an i-Phone ?), time-line didn't match and some parts were just down right funny (Sadako really went to town with the whole gadget/HighDef technology part). Throughout, Sadako was a supernatural being able to magically appear across the entire country popping up anywhere and everywhere there was a screen, but was unable to sense the heroine hiding behind the cupboard in the same damn room!
The original film The Ring used tension, great acting and simplicity in the storyline to give a great scare. This new film had so much potential, but unfortunately the person putting it together probably just graduated from film school (or probably failed it). The special effects deserved special mention, it was just ridiculous to see the main actress suddenly becoming Xena and smashing the xerox of Sadakos popping up all over the place. It was quite funny to see the scores of Sadako skittering around like an over excited schoolboy. Obviously the director watched matrix and decided to add some of the special effects to this school project.
Shame on you Mr Director for turning a great horror film into a comedy.
