Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHideo Nakata has disowned the film and claims to hate it. He blames the film's negative reception from fans and critics on studio interference, as Paramount executives would step in during the shoot and either force him to reshoot key sequences, delete certain scenes or change existing scenes until they bore little resemblance to what Nakata had in mind.
- GoofsThe deer smash the driver and passenger side windows of the car. In the subsequent scene, Rachel's reflection can be seen in her window (unbroken) as she turns to Aidan.
- Quotes
Evil Samara: Mommy!
Rachel Keller: I'm not your fucking mommy!
[Rachel pushes the lid of the well shut, trapping Samara]
- Crazy creditsSimilar to the previous movie, there are no opening credits besides the Dreamworks logo.
- Alternate versionsUS theatrical version was trimmed for a PG-13 rating. This version was the basis for all worldwide theatrical releases. For the US home video market an unrated version was released on DVD with around 18 minutes of footage added back into the film. In other countries only the theatrical version was released in DVD.

Featured review
The Dead Keep Getting In.
The Ring Two is a pretty good sequel for what it was, but it was not like the first one. I guess that is to be expected when you learn everything in the first movie, therefore it goes straight to the horror in the second movie. This was just about as creepy as the first, but the continuity between the two movies did not quite add up. For example, you do not automatically die in 7 days if you see the video but, if you can get someone else to watch it within that time, the curse is transfered over to them. Also, Samara (Kelly Stables), is not bound to the 7 days for those that have seen the tape in the original movie. She is nearly omnipotent, as the only place where you can talk and she can not hear is in your sleep. A little hard to make sense of, but the movie does a good job.
Rachel and Aidan Keller (Naomi Watts & David Dorfman) move to a small, new town to escape the horror of what they have just been through just 6 months earlier. Thinking they had destroyed the last copy of the tape and they were safe, somehow another copy has resurfaced in the small town they were in and Samara has killed yet again. When Rachel shows up at the scene and looks at the face, I assume to make sure it is the same as before, Samara had found her, and stalks her son, Aidan throughout the movie and eventually possesses him.
I can not really go too far into the story without giving a lot away, but there are many scenes which will always stand out and will no doubt be spoofed my movies like Scary Movie and others like it. Most notably, the deer scene was great. That made the movie for me, but there were others that were good, too. While I think this movie was not as good as the first, it does not make a complete mockery of itself either (like Jeepers Creepers 2). It is very good. 7.5/10
