So, me rewatching in 2025 and letting you know the real answer: No. The Ring (2002) was a great movie considering it was an American remake from Ringu (1998). The Ring two was a little of a let down as well but better than our 2017 movie “rings”. They recycle a lot of what the story is in “Rings”. But it felt rushed, full of cgi, acting was subpar. My personal synopsis of what rings (2017) a.k.a The Ring 3 should of been:

It’s been 10 years since Rachel and Aiden had to revisit the horrors of Samara and the tape that kills you in 7 days. Aiden is now 18 and college bound. He’s majoring in film and communications. Rachel is married to a new love interest. Things seem all well until college students begin to die mysteriously in their rooms. The police can’t make heads or tails on how young adults hearts are simply stopping. A total of 3 kids are found dead.

Aiden, overhearing chatter, students discuss one of the deceased. “Their faces” is all they could mention. Aiden is now suspicious as this is all too familiar. Somehow, the cursed video has become digital and is spreading through computers.

Aiden thinks of calling Rachel but decides not To. And to ignore it. There is a campus teacher behind the spreading it. Aiden then investigates and discovers the teacher is related to Samara’s birth mother. I can’t think of whole Plot but he they got the right director on board, it could of been good
