		Ringu and Ringu 2 was directed by Hideo Nakata and Ringu 0: Baasudei was directed by Norio Tsuruta.
		Writers that contributed to the Ringu-movies are Takahashi Hiroshi (Ringu-, Ringu2- and Ringu 0-screenplays), Iida Jouji (Rasen screenplay) and Kim Dong-bin (The Ring Virus screenplay).
		So far I have seen Ringu, Ringu 2, Ringu 0: Baasudei (I saw them back in spring/summer 2001), The Ring Virus and I can truly say that they are masterpieces and landmarks in the history of horror-filmmaking.

	Ringu 0 DVD - Michael Weise Productions
		This is a prequel to Ringu, set approximately thirty years in the past.
		When the entire Ringu series came out on DVD, I had had the movies before (but unfourtainately they went missing) so I had to buy the box set.
		In this prequel to the first Ringu, Sadako becomes an actress in hopes of escaping her horrible past.

	Into Liquid Sky - Movie Reviews
		Considering how Ringu 2 took the original movie a step further, I'd have to say that the idea of shifting back into the past actually works for the series.
		Ringu 0 presents more than a few elements that help flesh out Sadako as a person long before she becomes the Oriental bogeyman (or bogeywoman).
		Ringu 0 proves to have the strongest presentation of the series, especially with giving Sadako such a wonderful bit of character before her downward spiral.

	DVD review of Ringu - DVDTOWN.com
		With its seemingly simple yet far-fetched premise, "Ringu" exploded from obscurity in a big way when it first premiered in Japan back in 1998 and has gone on to attain cult status with horror fans all over the world.
		"Ringu" starts off with the mysterious death of four teenagers who are rumored to have watched a supposedly cursed videotape that according to urban legend, will kill those who watch it within a week.
		One particularly powerful scene from "Ringu" that stands out from the rest is when Asakawa´s son, Yoichi (Otaka Rikiya) meets her ex-husband, Ryuji Takayama (Hiroyuki Sanada) under a drenching monsoon storm.

	SARUDAMA.COM: Japanese Movie Reviews: Ringu 0 Baasudei - Ring 0 Birthday (Tsuruta Norio 2000) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ringu 0, directed by Tsuruta Norio (who also directed Kakashi a year later) is the last in a line of (Japanese) movies based on Nakata Hideo's Ringu.
		In Ringu, you may remember, the plot revolved around discovering and uncovering the mysterious Sadako who lived 30 years in the past from the characters' perspective.
		But I have to say that I was not prepared (nor willing) to humanize and empathize the Sadako of Ringu into a giddy teen nervously belting out theatrical lines on the stage while winking at her new boyfriend in the sound booth.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Ringu Anthology of Terror
		Ringu – The one that started it all — the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, Hideo Nakata's 1998 horror film was adapted from the novel The Ring by Koji Suzuki and then remade as The Ring for American audiences.
		Ringu: Rasen – With the phenomenal success of Ringu, this sequel was made as quickly as possible and shoved into theaters the same year.
		Ringu 0 is a surprisingly effective psychological drama, but those looking for a truly scary follow-on to Ringu will once again be disappointed — as will those hoping that this third sequel will answer all of their questions in a tidy little package — it doesn't.

	DVDpure.net arvio: Ringu 0: Birthday
		Ostettava levy on UK-import, jossa on bonusominaisuuksia ja parempi kuva.
		Kuten nimestäkin saattaa päätellä, Ringu 0 sijoittuu aikaan ennen alkuperäisen Ringun tapahtumia.
		Ringu 2 oli vaisumpi, mutta edelleen katsomisen arvoinen elokuva.

	Ringu 0
		In this prequel to the first Ringu, Sadako becomes an actress in hopes of escaping her horrible past.
		And for weedy-haired demon-girl Sadako, the backstory is "Ringu 0: Bâsudei," a prequel to the hit movie "Ringu." It starts off as a quiet movie about a quiet outsider who falls in love, but rapidly turns into a shocking story about a demon in human form.
		Of the "Ringu" series, this is the only one that rivals the original.

	UGO.com DVD - Ringu Anthology DVD Review - The Ring Two Super-Feature
		Ringu will feel real familiar to the legion of fans of the original, as the plot and many of the scares are the same.
		The film follows an investigation into the death of Takayama at the end of Ringu that leads to four teens and, of course, a little cursed videotape, but it adds a scientific level to the Sadako myth (her DNA is actually mixing with her victims).
		Ringu 2 won't give you the shock to the system that the original will but just so you can be up on your horror movie trivia, you really should see it to contrast and compare with the original.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, RINGU (1998)
		There is an almost drowsy pace to the first act, culminating in Reiko nodding off as she sits in the cabin, trying to figure out what her next step is in the search for the broadcast which is, at that moment, simply an urban legend.
		RINGU is a Japanese film and the situations, motivations, and events are steeped in Japanese culture.
		RINGU is one of the highest-grossing motion pictures ever released in Japan and probably would have had a bigger impact here if it had been given a chance in theaters.

		Ringu is the Japanese film that the American film The Ring, was based on.

		Spiral bombed, and later a new "sequel" to Ringu was released Ringu 2.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| The Ring
		Nakata's movie was a remake of a 1995 TV show Ringu: Kanzen-ban directed by Chisui Takigawa about a journalist who investigates the sudden deaths of four young healthy people and traces it back to a cabin and a videotape.
		Following the success of Nakata's Ringu there followed a 1999 movie remake, the Korean and Japanese produced Ring Virus directed by Kim Dong-bin, a well-received sequel directed by Nakata, Ringu 2, and a prequel Ringu 0 directed by Tsuruta Norio which explored the childhood of Ringu protagonist Sadako.
		Some of these have been culled from Ringu such as a well and a moving mirror, whilst most are new additions in the same vein: mysterious chairs, ladders against walls, dead horses on a beach, someone falling off a cliff and so on.

	DVD: Ringu 0 (Dreamworks)
		The final disc in the Ringu Anthology of Terror, Ringu 0 is an acceptable release, and nothing more.
		Far from the best video quality in the Anthology set, that nod would go to Ringu and Rasen, Ringu 0 is still presented well enough here.
		Ringu 0's original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 is preserved on this disc, and is Anamorphic for widescreen TVs.

	Ringu Anthology of Terror (Rasen/Ringu/Ringu 2/Ringu 0) DVD
		Ringu -- The granddaddy of Asian horror, or J-horror, was based on a bestselling novel by Koji Suzuki (as are all the movies in this set) and directed by Hideo Nakata, both of whom have become icons of the genre.
		Ringu 2 -- Back in style, form, and disturbing content, this more apt sequel again finds director Hideo Nakata at the reigns (as he was for the much different take of Hollywood's The Ring Two).
		Ringu 2 intriguingly expands on the themes of the original film while resurrecting some of its characters and introducing new terrors.

	Denkyu.com - Occult: Ringu (Site not responding. Last check: )
		'Ringu 0: Birthday' explores the world 30 years prior to 'Ringu 1' and 'The Ring" It tells the story of a young Sadako, the girl who is doomed to haunt the minds of many.
		A good horror movie shouldn't depend on blood and violence to scare the audience, it should use the fear that lives within its audience, the suspense within the storyline itself, and the haunting tune that echoes through the movie to scare its audience.
		Although 'Ringu' is not a series for the whole family, it is a great film to watch over Halloween.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Ringu (1998)
		Ringu was originally a novel (and sequels) by Suzuki Koji, and it was filmed for television in 1995.
		Despite her freakish appearence in all the flashbacks in Ringu and Ringu 2, we're now told that she was beautiful high school student.
		Ringu 0 plays like a lame Carrie rip-off until the final few minutes, when it plays like a better Carrie rip-off and Sadako finally goes on the killing spree we've known was coming since early on.

		One minor deviation from Ringu [/i]is that when the phone rings a little girl’s voice informs you that you have seven days to live.
		Overall, Ringu [/i]is a superior film and reason is quite simple: the story fits together better in the Far Eastern setting.

	Ringu : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		Before there was The Ring, there was Ringu, the Japanese horror/thriller that was remade virtually verbatim from this original.
		A skeptic TV station employee discovers the tape after her cousin watches it and dies, watches it herself, and soon draws her ex-husband and nephew into the quest to find out more about the tape's origins and, hopefully, avoid death for all three of them.
		Ringu is very atmospheric and often creepy, especially in its last half hour, but it's hardly chilling enough to keep you up at night.
