What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rings may offer ardent fans of the franchise a few threadbare thrills, but for everyone else, it may feel like an endless loop of muddled mythology and rehashed plot points.

Overall, RINGS is sadly disappointing.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

The cursed video now looks like an experimental film made by somebody who has watched more Marilyn Manson videos than Stan Brackhage pieces. It does, however, provide clues to a mystery that really isn't worth solving.

Rated: 1/5

Valerie Complex

Black Girl Nerds

The characters are grossly incompetent, in addition to being vapid, and devoid of common sense. They each deserved what they get because each death meant the film was closer to ending.

Rated: 0.5/5

Film Frenzy

The repetitive nature of the story soon takes over.

Rated: 2/4

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

Rated: 1/5

The MacGuffin

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.

Rated: D+
