The repetitive nature of the story soon takes over.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2024

Can a horror movie that isn't scary still be called a horror movie?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 4, 2021

Rings is a special kind of awful. It's not scary, or thrilling, or suspenseful, or remotely interesting. It's a complete drag of a movie.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 13, 2020

There's no sense of real fear or tension to be found in any corner of this film, and when all was said and done, I realized that a great deal of time, money and effort had been spent boring me senseless.

A disjointed retread of the The Ring co-written by the mastermind behind Batman & Robin, this half-sequel/half-remake is all kinds of stupid and boring. The cleverest thing it does is name its tiny-nippled, brotastic, generic white male lead "Holt."

| Original Score: D | Jun 25, 2019

A screenplay that, while faulty in spots, felt imaginative, Gothic, and paid tribute to the original story in a fresh way.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 6, 2019

The film attempts to dodge already well-covered territory ... by going back further than the other films have, but then proceeds to suck all the fun out of it.

| Mar 2, 2019

It's a sloppy movie, an ostensible horror film lacking in scares and weighed down by half-realized mythology and numerous repetitive stretches.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 13, 2019

It is a rehash of the story we have seen before, nerve-jangling music and some pretty average special effects setting up the few and largely ineffective jump-out-of-your-seat moments.

| Feb 13, 2019

This movie fails to accomplish any of its goals, and it doesn't care about surprising you.

| Feb 11, 2019

Is it a true sequel? Is it a reboot? Even after watching the film, it's really hard to say -- which is one of the reasons why this is hard to watch.

| Original Score: D- | Nov 3, 2018

Rings provides an interesting expansion on the mythology of Samara, but offers little else.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 2, 2018

Rings is a failed attempt to expand the mythology of the series but explains too much while providing too few frights in a sequel that is equal parts boring and unnecessary.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 1, 2018

This film goes back to the origins of the Ring series and is much more of a murder mystery with supernatural elements.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Possibly, the worst of its kind seen in years, not counting Blair Witch... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 28, 2018

The horror franchise that started with 2002's 'The Ring' returns to the screen with a clever concept that it abandons far too early.

| Feb 7, 2018

2017 had a fair number of dodgy horror films, but this unquestionably deserves to rank among the worst.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2018

The story is similar, although it is "digitized" to adapt it to the time it is running, and there is no causal continuity with what happened in the two films with Naomi Watts. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 7, 2017

If you love horror as a genre, skip this one and revisit the 2002 film instead or perhaps, watch Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's latest MSG film. That's bound to give you the creeps.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2017

A good, polished spookster for most of its duration, it's the killer ending that makes the film truly pop. It's a good example of how the final few seconds of a film can lift it several notches above the routine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2017
