Critic Consensus
Critical consensus on Rings is overwhelmingly negative, with most reviewers finding the film dull, unscary, and a disappointing entry in the franchise. The lone praise across reviews goes to Vincent D'Onofrio's performance as a blind priest, singled out as the only standout element. Critics widely panned the horror sequences as ineffective and tiresome, with the film failing to generate genuine scares. One reviewer offered a mild positive angle around its theme of loyalty in relationships, but this was not enough to counter the broader dismissal.

“The only interesting aspect of the film is Vincent D'Onofrio who is delightfully unhinged as a blind priest with strange motivations – someone needs to cast this guy as the Ultimate Monster in a horror movie and watch the sparks fly.”Read full review ↗
“This may not be your idea of a Valentine's day love story. But Rings tells you why it's important for couples to stand by one another under the most trying of circumstances. Also, why not to watch video tapes that are sent anonymously.”Read full review ↗
“If you love horror as a genre, skip this one and revisit the 2002 film instead or perhaps, watch Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's latest MSG film. That's bound to give you the creeps.”Read full review ↗
“It's not scary anymore...It is already a big challenge to scare audiences with horror films; the standard techniques are not working any more.”Read full review ↗
“The so-called scary moments are so wearisome that they grate on your nerves. The young talent here is also not interesting enough to put your money on.”Read full review ↗
“Should you watch it and will you die if you do? Most certainly! Of boredom.”Read full review ↗
