‘Rings’ Is Actually a Sequel to ‘The Ring’…
Welp, we got some bad information, and director F. Javier Gutierrez took to Twitter to make the correction.
Rings is actually a sequel, not a prequel, to the 2002 The Ring, the remake to the J-horror classic Ringu.
“Hey peeps, #Rings is NOT a prequel, the story takes place 13 years after #TheRing:),” explained Gutierrez.
This is actually good news because I love the idea of an old VHS tape being uncovered and played – and the idea that someone had to go out and find a VHS player is kind of neat. Not to mention, what happens when the tape is digitized and goes viral? There’s a lot of cool stuff that can come of the story taking place 13 years later.
In Rings, Alex Roe plays Matilda Lutz’s boyfriend ‘Holt’, and is said to be one of the cast who watches the legendary tape (see below).
Aviva Goldsman, David Loucka and Jacon Aaron Estes all had a hand in writing the script, which is based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki.
Rings will be inserted into theaters November 13, 2015.
It’s been 17 years since the release of horror sequel The Descent: Part 2, and the film is returning to physical media with a brand new 4K Ultra HD SteelBook from Lionsgate Limited.
This marks the first time The Descent: Part 2 has been released on 4K in the U.S.
Now up for pre-order, the 4K SteelBook will be released on August 11, 2026.
The Descent: Part 2 follows Sarah Carter (Shauna Macdonald) — dazed, bloodied, and speechless — as she emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of The Descent occurred. Forced back underground to help the rescue team search for her missing girlfriends, Sarah’s fractured memories begin to return, and she realizes the full horror of what lurks in the depths of the caves. But the rescue team is about to face a new tribe of deformed crawlers — even more viciously feral than those Sarah encountered before.
