Plots(1)
A new chapter in the beloved RING horror franchise. A young woman becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after he has viewed it. She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a "movie within the movie" that no one has ever seen before. (Paramount Pictures)

This happens when you are a producer and have a desire to slightly rape the original instalment. When one of your colleagues did it years ago and was successful, why couldn’t it happen again? All you need is to come up with some different shots for the video tape, slightly worse actors, slightly worse director, and the result is here. A cheaper copy that is lucky that it tries to tell the story a little bit differently and brings some interesting details into it. As a whole, it was naturally completely unnecessary.

I guess I was getting my hopes up - for nothing. Rings is definitely a horror disappointment. Here, there isn't much left to build, it just grows and swells, and I hope this is the last film in the American series and there won't be any further continuation because it could only get worse from here. So much potential to scare the viewer and nothing was made of it. Really, nothing at all.
