Description
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?

More of that delightful Samara,
This review is from: The Ring Two [DVD] (DVD)
Right from the beginning it is importanat that you have seen the first Ring film. If you haven't then you won't know why, for the girl, watching the tape is so integral to the opening of this film. After Rachel (Naomi Watts) and her son Aiden are introduced it becomes less of a factor but it is still good to know a bit more of the background of the characters.
Normally in the horror genre the acting is pretty second rate but in The Ring Two it's fairly strong, especially from the boy playing Aiden and slightly less so from Watts. Sound is fitting to the intensity and tension of the film and the score doesn't rely on commercial songs like almost all teen horror films. This film is far too sophisticated for that. Visual effects are impressive, especially the water effects in the bathroom scene. Samara has been well realised, and this has been helped by the director of the original Japanese "Ringu" directing this film. He created the character in the first place and as such is the perfect man to bring his vision to a mainstream western audience. The featurettes on the disc will reveal a little more about how long it took to get the look of Samara just right. This is psychological horror at it's finest. Not gory by any stretch of the imagination, but still not for the faint of heart. It's not for everybody. It seems that Japan is the place to look for original horror stories.

Disappointing Sequel.,
By
This review is from: The Ring Two [DVD] (DVD)
I qutie liked the first ring as it was very scary and jump-out-of-your-seat moments that you wouldn't forget. I rented the ring 2 as I'm a fan for Simon Baker and wanting to know why they made a sequel. It starts of with two young teens watching the tape and one gets it while the other is frightened stiff about this horrid event. Rachel and Aidan are trying to move on from the events that shattered their lives forever, Rachel works in a newspaper place and bonding with Max (Simon Baker) while Aidan is taking photos and being a normal child. But when Rachel finds out that Samara is back and for revenge, she must stop the curse from hurting her son and end this horror once and for all. Though it sounds really good, it's so disappointing to be shown on screen. I was a little creeped out but it seemed so staged and rushed, the co-stars don't get a chance to shine and the true horror from the first has disappeared like it wasn't there to begin with. It dosen't really make a lot of sense also, what's with the deer turning evil? Bah, I'm glad I rented it before buying. A very disappointing sequel.

Good scares but not as good as the first,
By
This review is from: The Ring Two [DVD] (DVD)
The ring 2 continues the first one where if u watch the film u will die in 7 days etc. This is clear from the beginning with a couple of teens dying making the news. This brings in to light the contining episode of the tapes haunting presence. There are some good scares early on with the moose chase and the twisted faces also the visuals of the tree veins on the walls and the girls presence. It doesnt go into detail about the history of the tape visuals so much, and to be honest the drowned girl in the lake really gives up and is defeated far to easily to make an ending. There is so much unexplained stuff to which needs answering. It needs more to it to be better then the first. Watchable but some might find it disapointing.
