Takes too long to finally get on its feet, though like something such as 𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 I'd argue that retaining the same director as the original film was ultimately the right move here. Because even though this is nothing more than a grimy slideshow of hilariously over-creepy imagery, it is also very successful at that (very pleased with the amount of jaws comically ripped off in this). The rest of it is practically a 60-75% finished story that suffices well enough but that you also *really* want to know more about (i.e. the entire Bill Pullman arc) - but that's because it takes hearty asides to have 5+ minute scenes of people slowly walking through haunting apartment complexes a la 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘋𝘰𝘵𝘊𝘰𝘮, which I'm often a sucker for when it's done well - and it is done so here. I also credit this for really exacerbating that mid-2000s dingy slime-green film that thickly coated the sizeable majority of horror films from this era that I also cop to digging (which, despite its metric fuckton of other flaws, at least Rings tried to bring back). Silly and spooky, decently pleased with it.
