Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of my favorite scary movies of all time. Story line is really freaky. Cast is really good.

If you like scary movies. Surprising scary things characters.

This is an older movie but a good one if you like thrillers.

This movie is boring and uninteresting. But more importantly, it loses track of what The Ring is about. The Ring is ultimately about Samara - who she is, where she came from, how she does what she does. Instead, this sequel is about the relationship between Rachel (Naomi Watts) and her son Aiden. Hello! Nobody cares about that! Mo' Samara please!

"The Ring Two" stars Naomi Watts and David Dorfman reprising their roles as Rachel and Aiden Keller, a family plagued by Samara Morgan, a demon child that created a video tape after death that showed horrifying images and killed the viewers seven days after they watch it. The original was met with great praise, labeled by critics as the scariest movie since "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby", even though I didn't find it scary at all, just a good mystery. In "The Ring Two", Rachel and Aiden have moved to a new town, and evidence arises that a local death may have been caused by a mysterious video tape. This inspires Rachel, a reporter, to investigate. As for the story, you have Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorman) leaving Seattle and moving to Astoria, Oregon shortly after the events of the first movie played out (it's supposedly six months later, but Hideo Nakata says two years in the production notes). Rachel is still suffering somewhat from a sense of guilt (over passing the tape on to other innocents in order to save her son), but she and Aidan are both trying to start their lives anew and forget about Samara. That's all well and good, but Samara has not forgotten about them. That's obvious after a local youth dies a horrible death under mysterious circumstances - and Rachel is quickly left with no doubt whatsoever that Samara has found them. We quickly move beyond the cursed videotape, however, as Samara works to exploit her unique connection to Aidan. This time around, Rachel cannot save her son through anything approaching conventional means, nor can she rely on the help of anyone else, now including her son. Increasingly desperate, she decides to trace Samara's history before her adoption by the Morgans, eventually finding and speaking to the girl's actual birth mother (Sissy Spacek in quite a memorable cameo). It looks like all the drama is leading up to a fairly predictable ending - but just remember that a film is never over until it's over. Naomi Watts basically carries this movie on her back, as she is the filter through which we view everything that happens. Up until now, I never really appreciated Watts as an actress, but I do now. David Dorman is another story for me, though. While he is able to deliver some very effective scenes, at times I can't help but think that he attended the Hayden Christensen school of acting. Sure, he's a little creepy, but now it's in a televangelistic way - to me, he looks like a combination of Jim Bakker and a young Macaulay Culkin. I love Samara, though; thankfully, Nakata chose not to go the CGI route with her at all (even still, she's not half as creepy as her original Japanese counterpart), which would have made a mockery of the whole creep factor. CGI is used, unfortunately, on the deer that dominate one memorable scene. I can understand how real deer could not be used, but this particular scene, after starting out very effectively indeed, is ultimately ruined by the ridiculous obviousness of the CGI animation. Unlike The Ring, The Ring Two is packed with special features (although we still don't get a commentary, unfortunately). Easily the best of the bunch is a short film called Rings, which is sort of a prequel to The Rings Two. I really liked the idea played with over these 15-20 minutes - that of an underground network of teens who have watched the videotape, recorded their increasingly disturbing experiences for as long as they could stand it, and then passed it on to a fellow newbie before their seven days were up. Along with this impressive short film, you get a series of excellent making-of featurettes featuring a surprisingly lengthy set of production notes, information on the cast and crew, and some nineteen minutes of deleted scenes. Altogether, it's an impressive package for a truly excellent and, to some degree, misunderstood motion picture.

This movie was actually pleastantly watchable by no means a classic but enjoyable all the same . The plot revolves around the son of naomi watts character being possesed by samara [the evil dead girl from the first movie] and the desperate attempt to send her back from where she came . Alot was made of the origanal ring and how scary it was supposed to be but i personaly found these two remakes more watchable and faster paced and found the critism of the remakes a bit on the 'snobby' side and uncalled for . If you like a good horror movie then check them out and add your own side to the origanal or remake debate , its only personal choice after all .

Most sequels are little more than a cheeper rehash of the original, but this superior sequel actually may be better than it's original in that the story is better explained and the history is more the focus. Everything that made the first movie great is here in this one as well, but this film seems to have a clearer vision and brings far more depth to all of the principal characters. Like the first one, there is no gore or bloodshed; it is just good old fashioned, spooky, atmospheric story-telling. This whole film is slickly executed and has a definitive ending and I hope that it is the end as a third go-around would be rather lame in comparison to this film and the original. This film really does bring an appropriate end to the story which by this point has reached an almost mythical stature. We learn in much more detail about Sumara's life before her murder and, more importantly, what it is that she really wants. Neither of these aspects are explored enough in the first film. While both films are very satisfying in their conclusion, this one is moreso as we better understand the reasons behind Sumara's behavior and why she was murdered in the first place. This film is nothing less than riveting. I and my family, thanks to the PG-13 rating for its disturbing images totally enjoyed this very effective chiller.

I didn't have high expectations for this movie, however I was blown away by the superb performance by Naomi Watts. This movie is really held together by her role and that of Samara's. It really is quite thrilling to see an actress like Watts take on this role. People may accuse it of being pathetic to the first one however isn't the same basic story line? The computer generated graphics are without a doubt nothing short of spectacular. Even though this film is generically a horror there are the rare funny moments. Although you may not agree I thought the deer ambushing the car was actually quite funny, and there are other moments of happiness. Samara is the best character of this movie. She is a dark and lonely character who lives at the bottom of a well. She has a really good catch phrase as well, "I've Found You". If you compare the two best performances of Samara and Watts you find that they really are worthy of critical praise and I can't see why people are bashing their performances. The script is solid and makes the movie a tale of gloomy pasts and hard sacrifices. This is overall a well rounded movie and really I have no complaints to lodge against it. It doesn't grow on you, it's addiction is instantaneous and immediate. If you compare it to other horrors it is a stand-out of that genre.

In "The Ring," Samara's corpse is removed from the well in which her adopted mother left her to die. Now her spirit is free to take possession of a living body. That living body must be Aidan. Rachel and her young son, Aidan (Naomi Watts and David Dorfman) return in "The Ring Two." The cursed VHS tape is still killing teens who watch it. However, Samara takes possession of Aidan's body and is able to kill without the tape. Rachel must get Samara back into the well before she takes complete possession of Aidan. She must not only fight Samara but the doctors and police who suspect her of child abuse. "The Ring Two" is intense and dramatic, but not as dark, creepy, and foreboding as the original. As with most sequels, the shock factor has worn off. However, It is recommended viewing, especially for those who enjoyed the original. Also, it is a treat to see Sissy Spacek, star of "Carrie," in the role of Samara's insane mother. In "The Ring Two," we learn more about Samara's bizarre background. My favorite scene is when the deer attack Rachel's car. They know that Aidan is possessed by Samara, much in the same way that the baboons in "The Omen" knew that Damian was the child of the devil

The First one was realy good, but the second more scary, it's very worth the money. You will be happy with the movie..

The First Ring movie was a good change on things and was good. This however stunk. The dvd itself if you like this movie is worth buying. I just thought this movie was very bad. I only bought it to complete the fact that I have Ring 1.
