Better question... Why is it just a shot of a dilapidated house?

Why does Sadako walk through some doorway?

Why is it like 5 seconds long?

This is not an official Spinoff, so I guess they did not have the permission to use either the original "Ringu" video, nor the (better) US remake video. I think the decision for going for 2 days after watching the video just served to pace up the movie's speed. Good decision, if you ask me. In "The Ring" (and "Ringu") you need to explore the backstory, so the protagonists need time for that.

In Sadavo v Kayako they just wanted to cut that backstory and quickly go the main event of the movie :)

In the book the 7 days is based on the incubation time of the smallpox virus that Sadako uses to essentially try and clone herself.
Perhaps it mutated like viruses occasionally do :)
