The Ring Two, which, despite being made by Hideo Nakata, who directed the original Japanese movie, is almost worse [than The Ring].

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.

Reviews for The Ring Two
Top CriticThis movie is nothing more than a big number two.
03/18/05
Remember, they say, "before you die you see the ring"…it doesn't say anything about having to see the Ring Two!
03/18/05
Everyone really wants The Ring Two to be as frightening as the original. But unfortunately, the deadly videotape does not hold up to repeat viewings.
03/18/05
More Maternal Fears Than Ghostly Fears.
03/18/05
Nakata is a superb storyteller, using anticipatory, suspenseful pacing and visual effects - if you liked the first, you'll like the second.
03/18/05
Pretty much everything in Kruger's script is recycled from the first movie, and what isn't has been pinched from other horror classics.
03/18/05
It’s creepy for sure… but it’s a dead ringer for every Hollywood horror sequel ever created
03/18/05
Although thoroughly mediocre, The Ring Two does make sense of the first movie.
03/18/05
Get through the first hour and a half and then wait to be creepily enthralled. It's a nice climactic scene and Watts delivers a line that would make Schwarzenegger proud.
03/18/05
barely so-so... demonstrates that after only two movies this series is already flirting with self-parody.
03/18/05
Horror movies have long exploited the anxieties associated with birth and child-rearing, but 'The Ring Two' may be the first to credit its hauntings to postpartum depression.
03/18/05
dips into the same well too many times to be of much interest.
03/18/05
An imperfect circle comes complete...
03/18/05
There's really nowhere left to go.
03/18/05
A sketchy horror plot slips from episode to episode with no particular momentum. As far as I can tell, Kruger made a list of scares, and Nakata ticked them off.
03/18/05
Arty, semiscary sequel delivers a few shocks but doesn't rival the first film.
03/17/05
Nothing but a by-the-numbers horror film with little to offer in the ways of originality or excitement.
03/17/05
It has a scare or two, and threatens to become involving at points, but in the end it simply does not have the intellectual mettle to satisfy.
03/17/05
I’m saying dying would have been preferable to sitting through The Ring Two -- it’s not that bad, just kind of boring and repetitious.
