Ringu 0 or as it's also known Ringu 0 Birthday was released in 2000 and is the third film in the Ringu trilogy. Ringu 0 is actually a prequel film which is set thirty years before the first Ringu film and tells the story of how Sadako ended up at the bottom of the well.
This is a bit of a unnecessary origin story largely because the first two Ringu films already provided enough backstory to the Sadako character that there was precious little left to explore.
I personally enjoyed the first two Ringu movies and was happy with how the story ended. This movie does add a bit more backstory to the Sadako character but not enough to warrant a feature length prequel movie.
