ANTICIPATED chiller pits two horror icons against each other.
IN THE breakthrough Japanese film, “Sadako vs Kayako,” the cursed tape from “The Ring/Ringu” is unearthed by college students—who are marked to die in two days, the curse of the vengeful spirit of Sadako. Meanwhile, the house haunted by Kayako and Toshio in “The Grudge/Ju-On” opens its door to unleash even more terror!
Is there any way out? An exorcist and a young psychic believe that pitting Sadako and Kayako against each other is the solution—“curse against curse, it’s the only way!”
—But, the two horror icons are out for more blood—and, in this epic battle, winner kills all.
“Sadako vs Kayako” is distributed by Viva International Pictures and MVP Entertainment. Reviews cite it for its production values, special effects, camerawork and “unexpected scares and twists.”
