Warning: Spoilers
The tagline is also very apt, and there is no way I can unsee this movie.

The acting is awful. The script is bad and boring. The camera work isn't even fun, and the sfx are boring after the second time you see them. The story unfolds in such a slow way that I couldn't bring myself to care about anyone. Even the ending was just kind of ho-um. I'd expected to have some actual shock and gore and twisted events when the movie brings up Man Bites Dog a couple times, but I was sorely disappointed.

I thought the story really had potential, though. What if The Ring were a snuff film? Let the ghost get a good cathartic revenge, let sickos get their comeupance, have a curse punishing the wicked.

However, this fell short of any real impact. Came across more as an afterschool special about the dangers of incels and the exploitative nature of porn. And if that was supposed to be the point, perhaps it should have been a lot bolder about the message, and not toyed around with the torture and abuse and flashbacks to the warning signs.

Cannot recommend on any level.
