ringu 2 ( 1999 ) pick up right where ringu ( 1998 ) leave off . reiko and yoichi have vanish and mai be snoop around try to solve the mystery of sadako and will anyone believe what she have uncover . the cast from the first film be back along with the original director . this one have more horrific overtone than the first one . whilst part one be more of a mystery or suspense film part two be more of a straight forward horror story . i find ringu 2 to be more enjoyable . ironically ringu 2 be incorporate more in the u. s. remake than part one ( that why theyre not go to make the remake sequel base upon this film ) . watch ringu 1 and 2 then watch the ring and you will understand why some of the set piece in the remake be so out of place . silly director try to cram two movie into one . let hope they give ringu 2 a proper release in the future . highly recommended .
