For a cheaply produced short film that was intended to serve as a prequel to the follow-up to the US version of "The Ring", "Rings" is quite alright. It features a few actors you might know, and the premise is moderately intriguing. However, the execution didn't exactly blow me away. Above all, I don't like the direction the series is taking. After all, if pretty much everyone knows the killer video at some point, all suspense is lost. I honestly don't know how the series could work without a mystery element. I'm still waiting for a sequel (not a remake) to Ring/Ringu that doesn't disappoint me.
