Next month finally after a few years push back and back Rings looks set to finally get it’s long awaited release. Now today we get a second UK trailer forget the videotape as Samara goes viral, electronically to creep her victims. Just remember She never forgives or forgets!
Times have changed everything, but now Samara has escaped the well once more and gotten herself a digital upgrade. Evil is reborn once again and it’s now gone viral!!!
 
A new chapter in the beloved RING horror franchise. Rings we meet a young woman Julia (Matilda Litz) who becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after he has viewed it. She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a “movie within the movie” that no one has ever seen before.
Technology wise a lot has happened since we last feared Samara. VHS has disappeared, DVD was born then Blu-ray and gradually things are becoming more digital including movie releases. It was only logical that in 2017 Rings danger will come in new ways, no need for Tape or disc, evil can even go online too. The phone call is now replaced by an email
There’s something about Spanish speaking filmmakers as they do love that dark fairy tale horror fantasy tone, which F. Javier Gutierrez has opted for. It’s slightly changed the mythology of the franchise, still keeping the premise basic but the ways Samara can attack expanded. You could also say the new movie nods towards another classic J-Horror Kairo (aka Pulse) which preyed on the fear of modern technology.
Gore Verbinski‘s 2002 The Ring Remake was critically a success, however, the sequel failed miserably. The question is 11 years after The Ring Two can Rings keep the franchise alive or will is ‘die’ Seven days after it’s release?
Rings stars Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Aimee Teegarden, Bonnie Morgan and Vincent D’Onofrio with the movie arriving on 3rd February.
