The horror community has been inundated with zombie movies over the past decade. It seems as if every walking dead trope has been done – slow zombies, fast zombies, unkillable zombies, talking zombies, pet zoombies, soldier zombies, zombie hordes, radioactive zombies, virus-infected zombies, rabid zombies… we’ve even had intelligent zombies. The synopsis …

The battle that horror fans have been waiting for has finally arrived! In this corner, we have Sadako, the vengeful spirit that spreads her killing curse through a video tape. In that corner, we have Kayako, the hostile entity that curses and kills anyone who enters her house. This should be …
