    • Trivia
      According to the special makeup effects designer on the film, Arjen Tuiten, it took about 6 and a half hours to complete Samara's makeup and her costume featured a water rig under the dress that allowed the character to constantly drip water.
    • Goofs
      Evelyn's hair is red in Rings, while in The Ring Two, it is black both in the present day, and in a brief flashback that is close to the time line of the flashbacks in Rings.
    • Quotes

      Holt: [trailer] I keep... thinking about this story. There's this video that... kills you. Seven days after you watch it. The second it's over... the phone rings. And this voice says...

      Samara: [voiceover] Seven days.

    • Crazy credits
      At the beginning of the movie, the stars in the Paramount logo flicker, the background darkens and for a brief moment, the stars change into the sign of The Ring.
    • Alternate versions
      The digital HD and Blu-ray releases include behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast & crew, deleted/extended scenes, and an alternative ending.

    Ten Years Too Late
    The movie was better than it had any right to be, but it didn't try to do anything new. I actually enjoyed the mystery aspect of the film, but it kind of failed as a scary movie, as it wasn't scary at all and was filled with cheap fake jump scares. The acting from the two main people isn't bad, but you can tell they got the parts just because they were pretty. This movie seems much more of a sequel to the original movie The Ring, forgetting most of the nonsense from The Ring 2. Rings also seems to take more inspiration from the original Japanese films, where a lot more is learned about Samara's birth parents.

    From the trailers, I thought that this movie might have a lot more stuff with social media, but other than a few things, this movie could have taken place a decade ago. The only thing to show that the film's in the present is that they copy & paste video files, and they use smart phones as flashlights. Overall, the film isn't horrible, but it also isn't very good, I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
