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?

Synopsis
In this horror sequel from Japanese master Hideo Nakata, the curse of the videotape returns. Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son Aiden (David Dorfman) move from Seattle after their first terrible run-in with the tortured evil spirit Samara, relocating to Oregon. Attempting to make a fresh start, Rachel takes a job as a crime reporter at the local newspaper, instantly establishing a pluckily competitive friendship with colleague Max Rourke (Simon Baker). But when it turns out Samara (Kelly Stables) has followed their trail, taking out innocent teens along the way with her old videotape tricks, Rachel dives right back into the mystery. But Samara gets to her son Aiden first. And as a budding photographer in his own right, with a nifty digital camera that he takes everywhere, Aiden quickly finds his own way to harness the relentless ghost. This time, along with the familiar video imagery and spooky clues from the first film, there is a lot of flooding going on. Water pours from television sets, doorways, and especially bathtubs. In addition, there are special effects involving some undead deer who, like Samara, seem to want respite for their wrongful deaths. Sissy Spacek makes a cameo as a religious mental patient in a creepy institution. But it is Watts who steals the show as the fearless uber-mom who digs through the cobwebbed basement of a haunted house, plunges to the bottom of a slimy well, and dances with death in an attempt to stop the perpetual cycle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ring 2 U........., 22 Sep 2006
Disappointing sequel, considering Naomi Watts and the director of the original Japanese Ring were on board. I enjoyed the first movie, but just felt this one strayed too far away from the original concept. Most of the cast are woefully underused (the film was either heavily edited, or just poorly constructed), there are many plot holes and scenes that need explanation but receive none, and the heavy use of water imagery has already been done in the original Dark Water film.
On the good side, the film was well shot, although some CGI was a little ropey.
Worth seeing? Just. A few minor scares, but nothing more.

3.0 out of 5 stars ARRRRGGGHHHH, DEER!, 14 Jun 2006
By J. B. Wanstall "bookworm" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
just rented this, so glad i didnt buy it. after watching the first one and loving it so much i told EVERYONE about it i knew i had to try this. i know sequels are meant to be worse than the first one but cmon... The Ring Two should be renamed: How-Many-Times-Can-A-Stupid-Blonde-Walk-Into-A-Dark-Room-Without-Switching-On-The-Light? In the Ring 1 it was more of a psychological scare whereas in this film the director goes for more obvious supernatural jumpy scares, one about every 2 minutes, so you just dont sympathise with the main characters or even care what happens to them most of the time! The love the little boy though, hes so creepy. The reason it got three stars is because its still unique in the world of horror and does offer some genuine scares, its just not as good as the first. Oh, and dont even get me started on the deer!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Samara has really lost her touch, 10 Aug 2005
By R. L. GREEN "rlg201" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved the first Ring film so much that I couldn't wait to see this but apart from one moment of sharp intakes of breath and grabbing of friends' arms at the beginning (where Rachel thinks she sees Samara again) it wasn't even mildly scary. In fact that moment was more scary because I was anticipating it to be rather that actually being scary. It rumbles along with no real sense of direction and the plot gets progressively more ridiculous. This is a blatant cash in on the success of the first film but they would have been better leaving well alone. Naomi Watts is in annoyingly blonde and pathetic form when she crashes into a herd of killer deer and then decides to just sit there in the middle of the road and stare at them until, surprise, surprise, they attack. Samara is distictly unscary and the reason for this is that this time around the screenwriters have tried to humanise her a bit more and portray her not as a creepy little freak with unnaturally long hair but as a vulnerable little girl who just wants a Mum, how is that meant to be scary? I also found that towards the end I was losing the plot and it didn't make any sense but that could just have been because I had fallen asleep. Absolute rubbish.
