Review of The Spiral (1998) by Lee ? — 20 May 2011

This is the official sequel to "Ringu" as it was based on the actual novel, but it's nowhere near as good or as scary as "Ringu 2". It picks up right up after the end of the first one and takes the story into a different direction which was quite interesting, especially the ending.

It just wasn't creepy enough though and "Sadako" isn't the terrifying force she once was in Hideo Nakata's films. It was nice to have an alternate sequel released but it doesn't deliver the thrills and chills that it should.
