By my calculations, it was only two days ago when Samara appeared in a new poster for F. Javier Gutierrez's RINGS. This is giving me a cause for concern, seeing as it’s supposed to take a total of 7 days for her to arrive in all of her pale, crab-crawling glory. Welp, it appears as if she’s broken her own set of rules, because today, Samara has arrived in the latest trailer for the third American installment of the long-running Horror film series.
Ugh! The concept of Samara no longer being confined to a VHS tape, and taking her haunted snuff-like film to the world wide web, is a truly frightening ordeal. From what I can tell, there isn’t a whole lot of new footage in this trailer, though the imagery is still unnerving enough to make me want to tune in for this sequel. For what it’s worth, I think Samara’s mythos is very cool, and there’s good reason why her character has remained as part of the Horror landscape – beyond the obvious reason of wanting to make more money by scaring the crap out of theatergoers.
RINGS will star Matilda Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Aimee Teegarden, Bonnie Morgan and Vincent D'Onofrio. You can count on Samara whispering words of warning into your ears when she invades theaters on February 3, 2017.
