If you loved Sadako, try Kaidan
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Kaidan has roughly 4.0× fewer votes than Sadako — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hideo Nakata, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sadako, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kaidan is
Kasenega-Fuchi river at dusk with koto music. A moneylender's body sinks beneath the surface. Hideo Nakata helms this eerie romance.
