“Rings is the bridge between The Ring and The Ring 2. In the six months between the 2 films the copy of the infamous videotape made by Rachel has multiplied many times (still no explanation as to how people know theyu0026#39;re going to die) and itu0026#39;s become such an urban legend that there is a website devoted to it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJake, the unfortunate high school kid at the start of The Ring 2, has watched the videotape in order to save the life of one of his so-called friends, thus taking on board the responsibility of making someone else watch it in 7 days or die by Samarau0026#39;s fright.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInitially Jake is intrigued and is offered a glimpse into the bizarre world of post-videotape viewing that we only saw thru Rachelu0026#39;s eyes in the first. Nothing is explained in any greater detail but the paranormal universe Jake falls into is fleshed-out more and is highly spooky. The short even manages to outdo The Ring 2 by giving us a couple of frights. I donu0026#39;t care how ridiculous the movies are, the image of Samara climbing out the well will ALWAYS be spooky.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyone who has seen The Ring 2 will already know what becomes of Jake and his would-be girlfriend Emily (the one he forces to watch the tape) but if youu0026#39;re a fan of the films then this is essential viewing. If youu0026#39;ve yet to see The Ring 2 then itu0026#39;s the perfect introduction.”
