What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sadako sees a once-terrifying franchise staggering limply to the finish with a rote final chapter that rehashes previous chapters to diminishing returns.

While not repeating the now rather dusty Ringu 'curse' formula in the way we have come to expect, Sadako still provides enough call backs to the broader mythology and iconography established in the first film to simultaneously provide franchise coherency Go to Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com 07/22/2019

1/5
Despite a premise that suggests an attempt to modernize this franchise, nothing has changed at all. What once made Sadako so terrifying has now become far too familiar and ineffective. It's time we lay Sadako to rest for good. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/23/2020

"Sadako" has all the unnerving, unsettling flair you'd expect from a story about a creepy child, a psych ward, cave-based shrines, and haunted video snippets. Go to Full Review Dan Tabor Cinapse 05/29/2020
Sadako shows promise and is a return to form for the series, but it ultimately falls short of what you would expect given over 20 years has passed since the director tackled a Ring film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
