‘Rings’ Trailer: Samara’s Video Gets High-Tech Update In Long-Awaited Horror Sequel
In 2002, Gore Verbinski’s “The Ring” burst into theaters and frightened audiences everywhere with its cursed videotape featuring the creepy otherworldly girl Samara that can crawl out of the screen. It became one of the highest grossing films of all time, making $249 million on a $48 million budget, and opened the door to a string of Japanese horror remakes. Though its 2005 sequel “The Ring Two” came and went without much fanfare, a high-tech update to the celebrated horror film will be in theaters just in time for Halloween.
