honestly better then the original as it uses that original film but add a different flavor to it, its more so a murder mystery ABOUT a supernatural being then a full on supernatural being film.
noami watts gives a decent performance and honestly the twist is great.
the cinematography is pretty good aswell as the pretty creepy atmosphere which i thought was one of the elements that worked in the original film.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A creeping supernatural horror that tightens its grip relentlessly, watching Rachel race against a seven-day countdown while investigating something genuinely unknowable feels like being pulled toward inevitable doom.

Reviews
The creepy little girl is also the voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, so maybe think twice about watching any of those.
The Ring was such a pop culture moment and is never talked about anymore. It is a lot less scary than I remembered from when I was a teen.
