Rings | Ratings & Reviews

"Gore Verbinski's 2002 remake of the J-horror hit The Ring is one of the best American horror films ever made. Hideo Nakata, who directed the Japanese original, helmed the 2005 follow-up The Ring Two, which was so bad it killed the English-language version of the franchise then and there."

"It's now the file-share that kills. I don't know why that's less threatening, but it is, kind of like seeing your favourite album cover reduced to a digital postage stamp."

VarietyVariety

"Imagine eating wallpaper paste, listening to Coldplay and watching the entire 'Da Vinci Code' trilogy back to back. Still less boring than 'Rings'."

Time OutTime Out

"Fans of the franchise will probably be pleased ... Too many horror sequels are content merely to recycle what worked the first time."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Essentially a well-produced, easily accessed B-movie. Still, it wouldn't kill you to watch it, and it does more than expected to reinvent its particular wheel."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"In 2017 Rings is as dated, clunky and unpleasing as the technology it relies on."

StuffStuff

"How does the same techno-horror premise sit in a brave new world of smartphones and Netflix? ...not very well at all."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"At no point does the movie manage even a single sequence of sustained tension, or a frisson of genuine terror."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Unlikely to fire up the faithful and almost sure not to attract new fans to this J-horror-derived property."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Ring down the curtain, this franchise revival is not saved by the bell."
