The only good part is when the credits started rolling.

Reaching farther back into a terrifying, bloody past, this is to be the prequel to the two RING horror films and delves into the dark origins of a mesmerizing, lethal videotape that would give birth to an epidemic of paranoia, madness and murder. A "found" video tape that carries an urban legend of bringing death upon anyone seven days after watching. Kind of heavy for a horror flick and maybe just a bit under-appreciated. Rated PG-13 and you can't un-see this one!The cast includes: Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Vincent D'Onofrio, Laura Wiggins and Aimee Teegarden.

I'm a fan of ghost mysteries so it worked for me to a degree. The movie is hampered by the fact that the producers couldn't decide what type of movie it was to be - the beginning has more in common with Final Destination (aircraft scene) which seems brutally hammered on to the rest of the movie. Then we cut to a stab at some basic Ring stuff, you see the movie, seven days later... etc. Then we quickly leave the professor behind (the synopsis will have you believe that this production is about his 'experiment' when it is irrelevant to the plot). Then the actual movie begins, or the third stab at it anyways - a young couple go in search of the mystery behind the girl's visions, which is also a search for Samara and her origins. It bothered some that the mother is part of this but if you treat this as a standalone movie (after the muddled start) then it works - provided you like ghost/supernatural mysteries. They would have been better off dropping the tenuous link to The Ring and pressing on with an independent story in which we could see more of Vincent D'Onofrio, who was superb in this as the blind preacher (no surprise), and play that theme to the full.

I watch movie like almost a year ago and I have a good time. I brought It on DVD and I put my movie ticket inside the movie case. The story is not bad, the characters in interesting, the acting is not that bad, and the script is not strong but still I enjoy this movie. It's WAY better than The Bye Bye Man and The Ring Two (2005). Yes I know this movie is been in Development Hell for 12 years but look at Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017), I tried to get into that movie but it's not interesting. I know people will disagree with me but that's what I thought about the movie.
