The second part of The Ring ( The Ring Two) is a continuation of the first film . It is based on demonic possession . And is done very well. It is the tight relationship between Mother and son that is gripping. And the length one will go to protect there love ones. It is slow moving but it builds the story line. It is a moving horror film more cerebral in context . One of the great horror films if you understand the emotional aspect that Nakata is trying to convey . Naomi Watts and David Dorfman are excellent as the battle otherworldly Samara on there own as no one accept Samara's mother Sissy Spacek understand what the possession really is and what guts it will take for Watts to rid her son of Samara's influence .Great film and underrated by small minded viewers .

When it comes to horror films, sequels are usually very dangerous propositions (just look at the Halloween or Saw franchises). Fortunately, director Hideo Nakata follows the original "Ring" tale with another frightening, mind-bending tale.For a basic plot summary, "The Ring 2" sees Rachel (Naomi Watts) and Aidan (David Dorfman) on the run from the ghost of Samara. Of course, just when they think they are in the clear, the spirit of the long-haired little girl returns to wreak more havoc. While trying to put an end to Samara once and for all, Rachel must delve even deeper into her past to find the key to her destruction.This movie is really a tale of two halves. The first half falls a bit flat because it is basically an extension of the original (visits from Samara, exposition about the haunted videotape, etc.). However, the second hour of the movie redeems itself by delving into more original material, that being the origins of Samara. By that time, the sheer creepiness of Samara was starting to get a little thin, so an origins tale was a good idea.Overall, "Ring 2" is a very satisfying sequel that breaks new ground while still managing to provide some genuine new scares. If not for a bit of a repetitive first hour, this part two would have eclipsed the original.

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.

We all hate pointless horror sequels but this one was inevitable. Instead of carrying on the storyline, it opts into some laughably possession story which could have been a kid's spooky bedtime story. With a good cast and a talented director, this one doesn't have anywhere to hide. It's scare kit is: CGI, bad lighting, a camera with a broken zoom function, confusion, exposition, a whole load of water, a Spider-man like finale, backstory, badly rendered CGI ghosts which are shown far too much, endless glitches and- most mysteriously- a herd of CGI deer but unfortunately the film is very rarely even remotely scary. The first Ring was bad, but this manages to make it look like Citizen Kane. Hideo Nakata does his best with the visuals, but it's not creepy enough and the story is a total flop. Mixing backstory and failed scares with no coherence or proper explanation, this is a confusing, scare free mess which deserves to have every copy thrown into the well.Naomi Watts was a good heroine before, but she's not compelling here, while every other character portrays a walking cliché, especially the irredeemably bland Sixth Sense creepy child rip-off that the main ghost is trying to possess. Samara herself is reduced to an overused CGI blob that loses what little menace she had in the first film. This is a confusing, badly edited and laughably unscary sequel which suffers from a general lack of effort from its cast, crew and especially the writers. The film is yet another horror film which doesn't understand that subtlety and build-up are key and the scares start flowing right from the very beginning, making the film ever more messy and structurally broken. The whole film can best be described as one massive glitch and most viewers will find themselves bewildered, bored and most likely asleep.1/10
