They say in Rings that after you watch it you will definitely die, a fact which (as many on the internet have already pointed out) is true of every movie. The killer VHS horror franchise, originating in Japan with Ringu in 1998, returns this year with the follow-up nobody asked for in Rings. If you are not familiar with the horror franchise, Rings is centred on a videotape that is haunted by a vengeful spirit named Samara. Rings becomes clunkier by the minute, as it becomes very clear the film is headed in the exact same direction as the original. Rings is cursed from the outset, doomed by the same technology in which the franchise once thrived.
