Goofs

Since this film takes place in the age of the internet, why didn't Skye simply copy the cursed video onto any of her other devices like a tablet or phone and quickly show the video to Julia? Instead she waits until the very last minute to log into her computer and copy the file shortly before she's scheduled to die.

User Reviews

OK thriller but not horror enough

Rings is not a bad film , but it's just you can't call it strong horror Maybe Thriller or Mystery .. The story is good and could have been served better to increase the scary content of it . I consider it a good continuation of the Ring series Although I'm missing Naomi Watts . Acting was okay . Music and Picture were fine ..

Overall it's not as bad as you might hear , and not better than the first two parts ..
