Fifteen years after
the American
original (and 19
years after Ringu – the
Japanese film that inspired
the US series), Samara is
back. And it’s no surprise
to learn that the lankhaired, TV-popper-outer
is more vindictive and
murderous than ever.
This star-packed
threequel, which is
set 13 years after the
events of The Ring, sees
Julia (Matilda Lutz –
Summertime) worrying
about the mindset of her
boyfriend Holt (Alex Roe
– The 5th Wave), who
has become obsessed with
a sinister videotape.
According to legend,
anyone who views the
tape will die in exactly
seven days. The only way
to break the curse is to
make a copy and pass it
on. To save her boyfriend,
Julia watches the tape, but
in doing so she spots a
movie within the movie
that no one has noticed
before, in the process
setting in motion a truly
terrifying chain of events.
