adonis98-743-186503 Jake tries to make his girlfriend Emily watch a cursed tape. But then Jake finds out that Emily covered her eyes and didn't watch the tape, and then Jake is killed by Samara Morgan. Rachel Keller learns of Jake's death and finds his twisted body in the back of an ambulance. Rachel then realizes she once again has to save her son Aidan from Samara the evil ghost child. The Ring Two is actually a pretty decent sequel to a pretty decent original that once again works thanks to Naomi Watts but also a storyline that although not original fun enough for sure. (6/10)

blumdeluxe First of all I have to confess, that I'm not a huge Horror film expert or fan, especially when it comes to paranormal influences. While I find Psycho-Horror still fascinating sometimes, I just don't see a demon rushing through my wall or something. My bad if they prove me wrong one day."The Ring II" has both the advantage and burden that it is sequel to a quite successful Genre-Hit. While the budget and part of the cast plays in a higher league therefore, the plot is simply nonsense. And I don't mean a bit vague, I mean nonsense. There are so many details and aspects that make completely no sense on second thought that it is hard not to consider it as a weakness. Personally, I didn't manage to let fully go and join the world created by the film.On the other hand it was no complete disaster, there were some decent scenes and I guess if you are a fan of this kind of Horror, you at least have your fun with this one. Indeed the original Japanese setting could be even more interesting, because spirits and demons seem to be deeper parts of the oral tradition there.

jacobjohntaylor1 The Ring (2002) is a great movie. This is better. Do not both with the Japan Ring movies the only good thing about then. Is if they had not been made. The American version would not have been made. This is a very scary movie. It is one of the scariest movies of all time. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.4 is good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 5.4 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10. This is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. It not easy to be better The Ring (2002). It is easy to be better The Ring (1998). That movie is just boring. It is also easy to be better then The Ring 2 (1999). That one is also very boring. But this very scary. See it. This is scary then A Nightmare on elm street (1984) and that is not easy to do.

poe426 THE RING, despite being a "dumbed-down" American version of the Japanese Fright Film RINGU, was that rare exception to the rule: a dumbed-down American version of a Japanese Fright Film that was actually very good. THE RING II is still another exception to that rule: it's the second half of a whole, as it were, and isn't hindered one bit by its Big Budget (Big Budget Fright Films often tend toward Horror Light). Rachel (the always very watchable Naomi Watts) has relocated with her son, Aidan, in an attempt to put the horrors of the first film behind her- but, no sooner has she arrived in town than she discovers a disfigured body that proves she HASN'T put the past behind her; instead, the horror has grown exponentially, spreading out to all four corners of the country (the World...?). Sissy Spacek is genuinely creepy in a small part as Evelyn, the institutionalized mother of the ghost girl, Samara. "The dead never sleep," she tells Rachel: "They wait... and watch for a way back. But they never sleep. That's why dreams are safe." "You let the dead get in," she adds. When Rachel asks what she can do, Evelyn tells her: "Listen to your baby." Director Hideo Nakata does a Great job with THE RING II (it is, after all, his third go-around with the story; the fourth, overall), but the clearly (and cheesy) cgi deer assault should've been dropped (it adds absolutely nothing to the movie) and the ending seems a bit wishy-washy (I'll have to go back and look at it again to see if I missed something, but it seemed a big vague to me- and this was the second time I've seen it). Betamax versus Video Home System or Analog versus Digital, a good movie is a good movie- and THE RING II is a good movie.
