Le Cercle - Rings

This happens when you are a producer and have a desire to slightly rape the original instalment. When one of your colleagues did it years ago and was successful, why couldn’t it happen again? All you need is to come up with some different shots for the video tape, slightly worse actors, slightly worse director, and the result is here. A cheaper copy that is lucky that it tries to tell the story a little bit differently and brings some interesting details into it. As a whole, it was naturally completely unnecessary. (27/06/2018)

Pour moi, Le Cercle avec Naomie Watts constituait une expérience inoubliable, parce que son visionnage avait perturbé mon sommeil pendant une semaine entière. Le deux, par contre, se laisse oublier facilement. En cette année 2017, ma curiosité a été piquée et j’ai voulu savoir s’il était possible de faire une suite réussie basée sur l’histoire originale qui était un mégahit. Car de nos jours, le monde du cinéma, en particulier du côté américain, a du mal à se réinventer et doit constamment recycler des récits qui ont fait leurs preuves. En l’occurrence, ça n’a pas trop marché, à part les trente dernières minutes et la fin qui, elles, valent le détour. (22/10/2017)

I guess I was getting my hopes up - for nothing. Rings is definitely a horror disappointment. Here, there isn't much left to build, it just grows and swells, and I hope this is the last film in the American series and there won't be any further continuation because it could only get worse from here. So much potential to scare the viewer and nothing was made of it. Really, nothing at all. (07/02/2017)
