i suddenly find myself opinionated differently from everyone else a lot lately . i have never be a big watcher of foreign film and probably have see one or two prior to the ringu series . the american version of ringu the ring frighten me to death and i love it but it take me some time to finally see the japanese equivalent . the first film a i say previously in the review be much less of a horror film a it be an amazing thriller or mystery . it unravel perfectly and start the amazing brickwork of an incredible world and story . ringu 2 be the best follow up i could have ask for . people seem to be disappoint by it and i can not imagine why a it use the perfect recipe for what a sequel should be . ringu 2 pick up exactly where ringu leave off . ryuji assistant or student or and lover . mai takano be the main character in this one . she be disturbed and haunt by find her professor body . she be determine to uncover the story that have end his life and many others . the rumor of the video tape have turn into a full fledge investigation by police and reporter and spread fast . reiko asawaka have take her son yoichi into hiding after save herself and her son from the videotape and sadako curse . the police be look for her to question her and takano want to find her in order to find out more about the video tape . a the story continue takano must stop sadako once and for all and save yoichi who have be possess by sadako evil curse . the film bring back familiar face from the original even those that have be kill off in the case of ryuji . ringu 2 doesn not only just work to follow up the original but actually work at add to it in a big way . we be give further information and open up a whole new ball of answer for question that be pose in the original . we be give further information into the story of sadako and the video tape and her parent and her past and why people have be die . also ringu 2 definitely delve more into the psychic aspect of not only sadako but yoichi who seem to have acquire power from sadako and mai takano who seem to have be give power by ryuji who be psychically strong in the first movie . i find ringu 2 to be downright twice as scary a the original even try to be . there be some frighten scene in this film and they seem to try and go for the scare in this one . i felt ringu 2 to be much more mainstream than the original with the addition of an action type story line and perhaps a rather confuse science fiction element but it fit nicely and be not overwhelm i think . take u back to familiar location from the original such a the yamamura inn and ryuji apartment be perfectly recreate . also a chilling and wonderful end once again in the well be amaze . anyone who love horror series must check out ringu and it follow up . i have not see the third yet but i will soon . although they be more of a thriller mystery and you can not miss out on these . i would only suggest that they find someone new to make fake blood ha ha . i be thrill and eagerly await the ring 2 who be be direct by none other than hideo nakata who direct both ringu film . bravo . positive .
