Rings went downhill the moment that guy on the plane started quoting Brenda from Scary Movie 3 five minutes in. It never stood a chance after that.
I think this one should be good. If the It remake or Annabelle Creation can be good, then I see no reason for this one to not be, too. Yes, I'm being optimistic!
Oh, btw, I love it when horror movies ruin music. Insidious w/ "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" is still my favorite example. Another example is The Purge: Election Year w/ "Party in the USA". So so good.
