Sadako vs. Kayako Audience Reviews

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Louie413 Is it just me, or isn't the whole point of doing a versus movie to give the audience what they want, an entertaining versus-movie?And yet they did same mistake that many other versus movies has made? eg. Batman vs. Superman, Mummy vs, Frankenstein etc. A long movie where you just kinda sit around and wait the entire movie until the "versus" appears, then they give you barely 1 minute of the actuall versus- scene, then the end. What a waste of time.This movie is not like Alien vs. Predator or Freddy vs. Jason, which is how a versus movie should be. If you think you're in for a "fight of the year" you're wrong. The fight itself lasted about 45 seconds in total. Just fast forward to it if you want to se it imo, don't waste your time watching the entire movie.
Marcus James Watch the original films or the remakes, they are all better than this cross over. This one is too rushed to pull you into the stories and the action between Sadako and Kayako is practically non-existent. The actual action between them was probably around 3 minutes long and most of that is just them staring or walking. The ending was, imho, the most uninteresting option they could have taken. Clearly a cheap money grab which is one reason why Japanese film, anime and games are on a decline. It used to be about quality and originality in the 80s and 90s but since then it has been a in your face money grab and they don't even bother to hide it. When anything becomes popular, they ruin it in time (a bit like Star Wars here).
Daviddv0601 So I finally got a chance to go and see this movie. I just want to say that I have always loved the Ring franchise, even the American version, and the Grudge franchise. I was so excited to hear that they were making a crossover 'versus' movie involving Kayako and Sadako. Unfortunately, this movie killed my hype and I have been very disappointed.The plot is actually very simple and exactly what the title says. A young Japanese woman watches the tape of Sadako and has a few days left to live. In order to prevent herself from dying, she takes the tape to the house of Kayako's. On the day Sadako is released from the tape, the two vengeful spirits will face off.In case you don't know who they both are, Sadako is from the Ring franchise. She is a cursed spirit who haunts a video tape and kills anybody who watches it in seven days, which is how long she was in the well and how long she survived for. Kayako is a deadly spirit who was in love with this guy and was murdered by her husband, who, in a fit of anger and sorrow, got her neck snapped and only allows her to growl. Her son also got killed by drowning by his own father for witnessing the murder and the two now haunt the house and kills whoever enters it. My thoughts on the movie was that it was bad writing and the script was awful. I only give it two points for the great effects and 1 point for the crossover idea. My suggestion, watch it when you have absolutely nothing else better to do.
Alexey Vartanyan Not bad at all. Fans of Japanese horror should be satisfied. To say the truth, I didn't expect anything good. The latest movies about Kayako were so-so, and the latest movies about Sadako were even worse. I thought the Japanese had lost their fantasy, the theme had been completely explored. And here is this promise – Sadako vs Kayako. Must be a silly trash. I was pleasantly surprised. The Japanese produced a serious well-built film. Of course, I don't mean that it's like the original "Ringu". From the point of view of the style it's more like "The Grudge" franchise – a horror with frequent scary scenes. Apart from it, as it often happens in Japanese films, there are some interesting original ideas, the main heroines are cute (I mean the girls that get cursed, not the onryos (this type of Japanese ghosts)). The fight between Kayako and Sadako is also good. Only it's too short. Minuses. First of all, there are "minuses" – I mean things that narrow-minded people dislike in Japanese movies. It has one static atmosphere, perhaps slowly or evenly paced. I so understand that some people find it boring, as other Japanese films are often criticised for it. Also some moments can seem strange to a western viewer. So I think that those who don't typically like Japanese horror movies, would not like this one. If to add some objective criticism, there is little new in the film. It doesn't repeat one to one moments from the previous films, and yet the onryos do the same familiar tricks. I wonder if there will be a sequel. The film has an unexpected ending, which may lead to new and interesting beginning.
