You gotta give it to "Rings." It's not as bad as "The Ring Two," the sloppy, lazy 2005 sequel to one of the best horror films of the past 15 years. But that doesn't mean it's good, either. "Rings" picks up a certain period of time after the events of the first film (and presumably the second, though it hardly mentions either beyond the iconic video). A college professor (Johnny Galecki, playing douchebag as only he can) has stumbled upon the video and has turned it into some kind of thesis experiment. He has recruited students to watch it, then finds "tails" (other people to watch the video and pass along the death sentence) and studies what happens to them through the week.
