a we examine the aspect of the lethal videotape in this very good sequel and it be admittedly not as frightening a the first movie . hideo nakata resume his taut direction and and a few shock abound . nice to see nanako matsushima return a reiko even if the main star of this story be miki nakatani character mai takano and who have a brief appearance in the first film . ring 2 do retain many of the atmospheric and subdued sound of the first film and but and unlike ring and you can watch this sequel without the light on . however and the conclusion to the film be extremely ominous . ring 2 be not a horror movie in the true sense of the word and and be certainly not as shock a it theatrical trailer suggest and but it continue the story admirably and and all the actor involve put in cherished performance . i personally enjoy it .
