Rings Audience Reviews

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
adonis98-743-186503 Jake, a young teenager watches a cursed video tape after joining a teen cult named "Rings". Join Jake as he lives the horrifying experiences of Samara Morgan's cursed tape. Rings is a short film that takes place before the events of the american remake and sequel to the 2002 Ring movie titled The Ring Two that starred Naomi Watts but unfortunately this short film not only was not needed to be made or released but also a pretty damn waste of my time since nothing happened that was even remotely interesting or actually scary you know? (0/10)
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Rings" is, as you may have guessed from the title already, closely connected to the "Ring" movie series. I am not familiar with any of these movies, so I am probably as unbiased as it gets for a viewer here. Jonathan Liebesman is a fairly famous director, much more today than back then. Anyway, this short film was made 10 years ago and it runs for roughly 18 minutes. In terms of horror, I must say I was not really scared at any point during this little film. It basically lives of drastic sudden changes in volume and that is never a good sign, because I want to be scared of what I see and not of what i hear. it's also not very creative. The lead actor did an okay job I guess, but as a whole I cannot really recommend this movie to anybody other than the biggest fans of the "real" films. Thumbs down.
boy_in_red A short film that explores the back story of a couple of minor characters in Ring Two, and a potentially interesting way of expanding the Ring's story.Except it's migraine inducing and actually doesn't tell us anything especially new or important. It's got that annoying "flash cut till you spew" MTV throwback editing that makes everything feel a bit disjointed, so even though it's only 16 minutes long it still feels very thrown together and random rather than a tight little treat.Emily VanCamp deserves recognition though. She's an amazing actress who conveys warmth and vulnerability, and perhaps the only person you will find yourself caring for in this short film.What I do find intriguing is that when the characters are reintroduced in Ring Two, under the direction of Hideo Nakata, you are far more drawn into their story, despite considerably less screen time. Perhaps this is testament to his directing skills. or an indictment of Jonathan Liebesman's. It makes me a little concerned about Liebesman's prequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies- particularly as his previous effort "Darkness Falls" was less than inspiring.Still it's a 16 minute short, so there are obvious restrictions to storytelling here. It just makes me curious what the intention was here- to give audiences something interesting, or to sell a few extra dvds as a special feature?
bensonmum2 This is the movie that The Ring Two should have been. It's the story of a group of young people playing a dangerous game with the videotape from The Ring. Each takes a turn watching the tape knowing that another member of the group will bail them out before their seven days are over. But no one appears willing to help out Jake when his experiences prove too frightening for the other members of the group. Jake has to find someone quickly, or he'll die.Although this short is less than 17 minutes long, it's packed with entertainment and more than a few scares. The whole concept of a group of young people essentially playing Russian Roulette with Samara and tempting their fates seems like a natural progression. A fleshed out feature length movie would have been great. More time could have been spent on Jake's experiences and his frantic efforts to find his savior.Instead, we got the mess that is The Ring Two.
