Ringu 2 (1999)

One of two different sequels to Ringu (1998). The other is HERE. Ringu 2 continues the story one week from where the first film left off.
It drifts further away from the source material and yet somehow manages to remain faithful to Koji Suzuki's original idea, so say hello once again to the seminal, creepy, long-haired, malevolent Japanese spirit girl.
Sadako’s origins are more deeply explored and the terrors related to the cursed video ripple further than they did before, but it'll make very little sense on its own, so make sure you've watched the previous film first.

3½ frolics in brine... out of 5
