Rings finds a couple of nice, if inconsequential, little chills.

At no point does the movie manage even a single sequence of sustained tension, or a frisson of genuine terror.

Slant Magazine
Rings is unsure as to whether it’s a sequel to the other entries in the series or a contemporary reboot.
25
Horror films that backstory the audience to death lose all hope of mining what’s eerie and unsettling about the unknown, and Rings is a perfect example: it doesn’t so much spread its familiar myth as dilute it.
25
Rings is too beholden with current trends to truly exploit the potential it displays in its early going.
