From the Writer of The Ring Comes the Latest Terrifying Installment to the Haunting Franchise Source: Well Go USA, MPRM Communications Official Movie Site: sadako3d.jp (Japan) Special Thanks to Leif Helland The most iconic figure in Asian horror returns for the latest installment in the frightening RING franchise with SADAKO 3D (????, 2012), debuting on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital June 4th from Well Go USA Entertainment. Director Tsutomu Hanabusa (HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW) brings back the long haired girl in the white nightgown and her reign of terror has extended from television screens to all forms of technology: PC screens, mobile phones, jumbotrons and more. The cast includes Satomi Ishihara (MOONLIGHT MASK), Koji Seto (RUNWAY BEAT), Tsutomu Takahashi (ARAGURE) and Shota Sometani (THE INTERMISSION). Akane Aikawa (Ishihara) works as a teacher in a high school where students are mysteriously committing suicide after viewing a video hosted on the internet. She discovers that a deranged artist is trying to bring Sadako back to life! Sadako waits, a vicious spirit, hungry for blood and souls. What began as a haunted videotape, passed from hand to cursed hand all those years ago in THE RING, has only gotten easier to find. Sadako waits. And it’s not just on tape anymore. At a local high school, there is a rumor about an online video of someone committing suicide. If it were only a prank, or the work of a deranged artist in town, the students wouldn’t be killing themselves after watching it, would they? The police would have a theory about the quickly-growing body count? And what about the woman in white with long hair? Sadako is always hungry. And she’s no longer alone.
