Sadako: reviews

What the critics say average 3.0 from 7 outlets

• 6.8 Screen DailyJ. Hurtado "Nakata knows what he is doing and get to offer something satisfactory without using weak scares just to keep an interest in viewers". Read
• 4.0 CriticJared Mobarak "The movie is thus less scary than contextually relevant (...) I was pleasantly surprised by this result because it allows for meaning above kills (...) but I have a feeling a lot of people will be disappointed". Read
• 3.0 Cine PremiereJavier Pérez "It doesn't work like a reboot either like a remake of the original film. Far away of scares, the movie fails in everything". Read
• 3.0 Roger EbertNick Allen "The movie is both an origin story and a new beginning, neither half very compelling. (...) There are so many story pieces that don't build to grandiosity, so much as drag viewers to an underwhelming climax". Read
• 2.0 CriticMeagan Navarro "It reflects a fantasmagoric movie which is as obsolete as the original film. The worst that could happen to a horror movie is to be boring and this so boring (...)". Read
• 2.0 ColliderHaleigh Foutch "Another Stale Sequel. Perhaps most disappointing of all, Sadako is just not very scary". Read
• 0.0 SlashfilmMatt Donato "It?s sleepy, listless, and favors moments pulled from soap opera architectures that counteract any attempts at purified horror". Read
