RINGS Director F. Javier Gutiérrez Talks The Ring Mythology and More After two installments of The Ring franchise, Samara returns to torment those that watch her -very, very creepy- video in RINGS. I recently sat down with Director F. Javier Gutiérrez to talk about the new chapter in the horror saga, starring Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, and Vincent D’Onofrio. RINGS is now playing in theaters nationwide. Julia becomes worried about her boyfriend, Holt, when he explores the dark urban legend of a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after viewing. She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a “movie within the movie” that no one has ever seen before.
