Critics Consensus

Ring Two serves up horror cliches, and not even Hideo Nakata, the director of the movies from which this one is based, can save the movie from a dull screenplay full of absurdities.

First time seeing it and it's been a while since I watched the original. Not horrible a bit scary and a bit fun. Not expecting much but it works on levels. Just watch it to enjoy it. It's not a critics movie.

There’s very little fun to go around, and scarcely any suspense or terror.

While I found the original to be smart and a lot of fun, The Ring Two is just stupid and silly.

The List

The Ring Two works because [director Hideo] Nakata concentrates on what he knows best without trying to adapt his style to fit Hollywood. For once a U.S. remake of a classic Asian horror film proves itself to be a furtive work of fusion.

Rated: 4/5
