Ring 2 (DVD 2001)

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?

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.

fabulous i love all of the ring films japanese and americanised versions can watch them time and time again

this film is not as good as the original and as a result is a dissapointment if you have seen the originals.
