The Ring 0: Birthday
30 years before the tape came into existence. Sadako is in a drama troupe. Though people start dying, the people who die actually think Sadako is the killer. She falls in love with a boy who tries protecing her from the others, until they kill her, though this is only the begginning because there is another on. Some time ago she was split in two. The one they killed was actually the innocent one. (from movie)
