To be clear, Sting can't act. But it is Sting. I mean. Sting. So you have to like it right? Plus it is Sting from the 1980's.

Ah yes the 80's. Where you can make a movie about controlling a woman who is naked at parts, and no one gets mad. But the story isn't really like that. It is basically a cooler take on the Bride of Frankenstein.

The cast is very fun and the film has a cool fantasy feel as well. Sting is Dr. Frankenstein. Jennifer Beals is the Bride. Clancy Brown is the monster and does a great job of it. Then you have David Rappaport who was in many fun 80's films and is the monsters best friend in the film.

You basically see two stories here. The Bride and the Monster.......and Sting being Sting....ok three-ish. He is no Bowie as the Goblin King, but he is alright.

I will say that this film had a really interesting story to it. A creature to brought to the surface that has sonic hearing. So you need to be quiet or you die. The creature though. Looks like a bat which makes sense with the sonic hearing. But almost like alien baby dragons. I am not sure why films need to do that. Just make them over grown bats. They do not need to look weird.

Cast was great. Kierman Shipka is always fun to watch. She is always cast in interesting creepy roles. I am sure the older she gets, the cooler roles she will get. Stanley Tucci plays her father and is also great. Some of the side cast die in stupid ways though.

I almost feel like this would of made a better show. Like give me a season and lets see how it goes. The movie is too fast and leaves various amounts of holes. It could of had a cool Walking Dead feel, but not 300 seasons, just a few.

So most of us all saw the The Ring or even the foreign version Ringu and it scared the living hell out of us. The Ring was ahead of its time with the faces of the dead and the stop, go contorted motion of the young girl.

Well she is back, and you can tell she is a lot older (even though she is not meant to be) and she is a lot more angry.

The story takes place over 10 years later and I will admit. The new story is pretty cool. Finding something hidden in the original video that was on VHS. Having a group of people test out theory of 7 days. Also a nice back story to Samara.

The cast was decent adding in people like Johnny Galecki And Vincent D'Onofrio. But here is where the film went wrong. The story was all over the place. They should of just focused on the back story of Samara. But there were also a bunch of people on the 7 day schedule you had to keep track of. Not to mention the tape was VHS and there was one copy and some IDIOT decided to move it to a drive and now all it takes it for one person to share it on twitter and bam, the world is dead. So it got cheesy and with the PG-13 rating, it did't help. I mean the original was PG-13 but it focused on one thing making it scary.

Plus if you are wondering why Samara is doing what she is doing. They explain that, but I guarantee you won't like it.
