The Ring 2002: Terrific and atmospheric horror flick.
The Ring Two: 2005: Disjointed, badly paced, and horribly written. Prime example of why not to make a sequel.
So Rachel and Aiden have moved to Astoria to start over again, great idea since I am sure Seattle would be a bit depressing. However, Samara is slowly restoring herself and hellbent on possessing Aiden. Why? To have Rachel as a mother. Why? Again, beats the hell outta me. Why would this born evil entity who showed no remorse in the first suddenly want a mommy? It defeats the entire theme of the first and is just downright silly.
So that is the general plot. Nothing ever really quite gels though. There are lots of spooky water scenes, more water scenes, horrible CGI inserted psychic deer, and Elizabeth Perkins dosing herself after asking questions that went NOWHERE!!!
The cinematography was bland, the direction was stilted and bland, and Naomi's performance was meh. Her character was oddly written here, not the feisty reporter we loved in the first.
All of it was just wrong. No sense of dread here.
What was Ehren Kruger thinking? Besides the $$$$$ signs of course lol.
