Review of Rings

Rings (2005 Video)
4/10
I've said it once and I'll say it again: Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD!

Before THE RING TWO came out, this little short film was released. At my local video store, I rented this. The result.... I thought it was terrible! IT bent and broke all the rules that THE RING was so careful to establish without setting them up in any particular way.

Young Jake is a teenager in High school, and has accepted the dare to watch the tape. He Becomes more and more alone over the days. All the people he thought he could trust suddenly turned against him. At this time, he's vomiting CGI fake looking millepedes, and on the 7th day, he gets into trouble, and Emily offers to come over. In THE RING TWO, It is because he wants her to watch the tape.

I liked the concept, but this could have been better in so many ways. If it were a prequel to THE RING, with Katie's journal, it would be better.

However, this tries too much- The only scary part is the "water" scene. Other than that, this is rubbish.
