The Ring 2 (2013) Movie Review
The Ring Two (2005) is the sequel to the 2002 horror film The Ring, both directed by Hideo Nakata. It follows Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son, Aidan, as they try to escape the vengeful spirit, Samara, who now seeks to possess Aidan. While the sequel explores more of Samara’s backstory and maintains a creepy atmosphere, it relies more on psychological horror than mystery. Critics generally found it less effective than the original, with a weaker plot and fewer scares.
