Additional Information
Hideo Nakata's sequel to his notoriously creepy RING continues the chilling tale after the unforgettable finale of the original. Reporter Reiko Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima) continues her investigation of the ghostly Sadako and the cursed videotape. Meanwhile, Reiko's son, Yoichi (Rikiya Otaka), begins to show signs of psychic powers similar to those of Sadako. Meanwhile, the former gilrfriend of Reiko's ex-husband, Mai Takano (Miki Nakatani), becomes involved in the search as well. As with the first film, watching this movie alone is not recommended.
This film builds up suspense and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I liked the darkness of the film and thought it had very good acting. I rated this film 'good' as it kept me entertained and had a very chilling story line, but was quite hard to follow at the beginning. A very scary film, a little jumpy at some parts, I would definately recommend it to anyone who wants a scare.
8/10.
I bought this as ring 1 was very scary. this one is not as good as the 1st. there wasnt as many on the end of ur seat moments as was in the 1st. u couldnt see the subtitles at some points in the film as they're white and there was a lot of white in the background which made the subtitles impossible 2 see and read, would of been better if they had a black outline. the story did keep along the lines of the 1st somewhat.
The Ring 2 (Dir. Hideo Nakata, 2005):Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman) have relocated to the quaint mountain town of Asheville, where Rachel has found a new job at the local Asheville Gazette, working alongside reporter Max Rourke (Simon Baker). The discovery of a local teenage homicide whilst scanning the electronic Asheville Police archives prompts Rachel to uncover the truth behind it. Before long, Rachel has linked the homicide to the mysterious video tape. Just when Rachel is within reach of uncovering the secret, she discovers that Aidan has been hospitalized - unconcious, perilously cold, and bruised. Rachel suspects this is the act of Samara Morgan, but Dr Emma Temple suspects otherwise. Having being blamed for child abuse and looking guilty as sin, Rachel returns to Seattle, to dig deeper into the past of the ghostly Samara. Will the secrets she uncovers solve problems, or will they end more lives?Read full review
