The Twist: Just when protagonist Julia (Matilda Lutz) and her boyfriend Holt (Alex Roe) think they've set Samara's spirit free, the Ring video magically decides to e-mail itself to everyone in Julia's address book, even after Holt unplugs the computer, effectively making the video go viral as the end credits roll.

Why It's Dumb: Taking The Ring viral is pretty much the laziest and most predictable route this series could've gone in the Internet age, but it might've actually worked with a less-goofy execution.

For one, who the hell even e-mails videos anymore? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have her post it to Facebook, YouTube or Twitter, where everyone can see it?
