In an attempt to survive and save her son from Samara, the evil ghost, that seeks to destroy and kill people through a video tape, Rachel moves to another small town, where she shocked by finding out that Samara is back to avenge, the thing that challenges her.
It is like an exercise in cinema mechanics: Images, music, photography and mood conspire to create a sense of danger, even though at any given moment we cannot possibly explain the rules under which that danger might manifest itself.
"The Ring Two" is a horror movie with very few surprises and hit-or-miss moments of suspense that don't lead anywhere on a narrative or emotional level.
I thought the original had a nice evil chill to it, but this is an unnecessary second chapter that dumbs down all the main characters and is curiously lacking in quality scares.
