To the surprise of just about nobody, Rings was a lame, lazy attempt to revitalise the long-dormant The Ring franchise.

Full of bloated exposition, predictable scares, risible performances and only enlivened by Vincent D'Onofrio's hilariously hammy supporting performance, Rings is a quintessentially terrible horror movie dumped in cinemas at the start of the year by a studio that knew it'd be profitable regardless.

Though there was definitely potential for a new Ring movie to capitalise on how technology has changed in the decade-plus since the last American movie, this wasn't even trying.

What It Should've Been Nominated For: Worst Picture, Worst Director (F. Javier Gutierrez), Worst Actor (Alex Roe), Worst Actress (Matilda Lutz), Worst Supporting Actor (Johnny Galecki), Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and Worst Screenplay.
