When Rings released in 2017, it amassed $83.1 million at the box office, a significantly lower take than its predecessors, and failed to provide any semblance of unique and inventive scares to its audience. Rings retold the original story in a mundane way while attempting to appeal to the franchise’s fanbase by building on the mythology of Samara (...
Unsurprisingly, a 3D film addition in the franchise was not the most successful. Sadako 3D is considered a sequel to the original movie’s lost second installment, Rasen, which has an entirely different timeline. It takes on adapting a different novel in Suzuki’s own Ring trilogy, titled S, and follows a young woman who must confront Sadako and Kash...
Sadako 3D 2 was slightly more successful than its predecessor in creating an enjoyable supernatural horror experience. It continued the story of its original characters and built upon the Rasen timeline for the final time. Despite its small successes, Sadako 3D 2 largely failed due to its reliance on using 3D effects to make the story scarier than ...
Sadako vs. Kayako is the crossover that American audiences had been waiting for in both The Ring and The Grudge franchises; the horror genre had tried this before with movies like Freddy vs. Jason. The story follows a young girl named Natsumi who watched Sadako’s tape. In order to avoid being killed by the spirit, she pits Kayako of Ju-On (The Grud...
The Ring Two is the official sequel to the original 2002 American remake. It follows the characters six months after the events of the first film, and immediately places Rachel and Aidan back into a horrific situation where Samara attempts to take over the young boy’s body. The sequel’s story line shifts so drastically between various supernatural ...
Ring 0: Birthday was the franchise’s attempt at making an origin story for the spirit known as Sadako. It did not totally disappoint, but it heavily relied on pre-existing stories that are based around coming-of-age elements in horror, such as was depicted in Brian De Palma's iconic film, Carrie. Because of this, it isn’t a remarkable addition to t...
In 1999, the South Korean adaptation of Suzuki’s novel released under the title, The Ring Virus. Despite the fact that it included scenes from the book that Nakata’s 1998 film did not, it is considered to be an almost exact copy of Ringu. It took elements from both of its sources and created an entirely new story line that isn’t as enthralling as e...
Known as the lost sequel, Rasen released at the same time as Hideo Nakata’s original Ringu. It is the second part of Suzuki’s original story, and was expected to be a great success similar to Ring: Kanzenban. The method of releasing a two-part film series at once did not do it any favors despite its accuracies in retelling the story of Sadako and t...
A year following the release of the original film, Hideo Nakata’s Ringu 2 proved that the budding series was worthy of an expansive franchise. It dominated Japan’s horror releases in 1999, and presented an entirely new story that is not connected to Suzuki’s novels. While it was an exciting addition, it did fall victim to relying on some genre trop...
Ring: Kanzenban ranks so high on this list due to its ability to remain as accurate to the original Suzuki novel as possible. It is considered the be the truest to its source. While the made for TV movie has not seen a re-release in nearly 25 years, it is still remarked as one of the best adaptations in comparison to those that followed. Ring: Kanz...

It was created to be a replacement sequel for Ring, as the actual sequel Rasen was a box office bomb. A prequel, Ring 0: Birthday, was released in 2000. The movie is based on the short story "Lemon Heart" from Suzuki's 1999 book, Birthday (the fourth book in the series).
