The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I don't often read reviews before watching movies so I had no idea this would be such a forgettable movie. I expected a Ring series movie to be better, but this is a pure b-movie.I don't know what the story behind making this movie is, but converting a story based on VHS era to an era where tapes are long gone and videos play a totally different role, you just shoot a video and share it, you don't even have to think of files anymore. That must have been a bit of a challenge - and an opportunity - but that part is very briefly handled, maybe deliberately. We also know the Samara story already, What's left is a very mediocre story which has some ideas, but never goes very deep into anything.Everything is quite small scale, very few actors - who do an ok job, but feels like a tv series episode. And it's not really scary at all. Not downright bad, just forgettable.
There's this videotape, see, and you watch it, and then some girl phones you up from a well and says "7 days" and then 7 days later you die. But even though you think she's Japanese, she isn't. But she does crawl out of TV, computer and phone screens. Which is a bit creepy.If you buy a used VHS video recorder in the market - just for fun, we've all done it - do exercise care, the electrics can be dodgy.And if it contains a videotape with "Watch This" written on the label, well, best not to, obviously. Surely you know the dangers! For one thing, the strange, surrealistic film has a sequence featuring a snake in it. And even if you're not herpetophobic, this is probably the scariest bit of this not-very-scary horror film.The original Japanese Ringu was a deeply scary movie, and the original US adaptation had its moments. This reboot? There are a couple of made-you-jump noises, but you have to be pretty unprepared for a horror movie for this one to have any serious impact.But the backstory of this new Ding Dong Bell girl, and the detective work which uncovers it, are quite good fun and hold the attention. We also have Jonny Galecki as a professor investigating the afterlife, and Vincent D'Onofrio as a blind and slighty creepy caretaker of an ex-church, and everyone else is no-one very much.It looks as if the budget might be small enough for this to make enough money to revitalise the franchise, but it doesn't deserve to: it is no better than adequate, and possibly not even that good.
I didn't even know this was a sequel, as it is I'm not a fan of the horror genre. watch only if you like horror films................ else avoid.
Trash SIN-ema for a trash movie.Actress tried and so did the actor, but this had a poor script and very cliched everything.It was no scary. It's the usual, man has an issue, females are the victim and is able to solve issues that her superlatively might be gay boyfriend could not.Bad movie, bad plot, okayish acting and just not very good.2 out of 10.
