Samara Morgan might be dead, so is the unlucky person in seven days who gets to view her video coming out of the well from a VHS tape. The VHS is officially dead but if you think that is the end of the horror, you are wrong, dead wrong.

Like any modern piece of technology, Samara just got an upgrade and has become potentially more dangerous than she has ever been since she was in that lone video tape. Her video was transferred to digital format and can now be spread via email attachments, online through social media, and sent out to as many people as possible. Viral has now become deadly, as detailed in an earlier report.

F. Javier Gutierrez of "Before the Fall" directs "Rings." Many said the new movie was a prequel to the previous movie; however, Gutierrez was quick to dispel the growing rumor. He said that his take on "Rings" is not a prequel, as he clearly pointed out in the Tweet back in March 2015, that the story takes place 13 years after the events of "The Ring Two," according to Complex.

Rings is billed as a new chapter in the franchise, revolving around a young woman who sacrificed herself to save her boyfriend after becoming obsessed with Samara's video, which they found out contains "a movie within the movie." Both "The Ring" and "The Ring Two" tackled Samara's origins. The coming "Rings" movie will delve more on the origin of her "power," and how she can induce such torment to people, according to Screen Crush.

"Rings" was initially slated for release Nov. 13, 2015, but was pushed back to April 1 last year, then pushed back a third time to October 28, supposedly in time for Halloween. The movie was pushed back yet again, this time to Feb. 3, 2017.
