An interesting play up of the _Ring_ mythology, but not a great horror on its own merits.
Also! The trailer for _Rings_ makes it appear as if the movie is about one thing. As it turns out, that one thing takes place entirely in the last 90 seconds of the film.
_Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._
