hmmm . i really seem to be miss on something here . practically all my fellow imdb user be full of praise for this sequel to ringu and but i do not second these opinion . it really think it be a dreadful movie and a very unpleasant cinema experience . how much i would like to support the japanese horror business and encourage people to discover it and i just do not think this be a good representation for it . personally and i think there one big disease in the film industry represent the easy money concept . small and simple film become a huge and unexpected success and that encourage the producer to shoot a sequel as soon a possible and in order to make even more money . this disease seem to have contaminate japan a well now and since i really think ringu 2 suffers from it . absolutely nothing happen in the first 30 minute of this film . than be serve a full quarter of suspense and excite cinema and good character development . after that and it downhill again till the end credit role . a real shame actually and because those short 15 minute of highlight really prove that there still be a lot of potential to continue the original story of ringu . the plot involve the mind and will of the little boy from ringu yoichi take over by the evil little girl sadako . to itself and not a bad start point but poorly execute . youre most likely to read a lot of comment that state ringu2 be scary and full of suspense . well and i think some people confuse suspense with complexity . ringu 2 be nowhere near scary and i think slow and everlasting be more appropriate word . if youre interested in see a really scary japanese movie and i suggest you check out audition by takashi miike or even dark water by the same director who direct this film . ringu 2 can easily be skip .
