Ring 2 (リング2 Ringu 2) (1999), directed by Hideo Nakata, is the sequel to the Japanese horror film, Ring.

Ring was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, Rasen (aka Spiral), was also adapted into a movie as the Ringu movie's sequel. However, due to the poor response to Rasen, Ring 2 was made as a new sequel to Ring, not based on any works by Suzuki, and thus ultimately ignores the story of Rasen.

[edit] Trivia

  • A new curse with a new videotape by a new girl is created by the end of the film, which instead of killing you, makes you go mad. Had Hideo Nakata helmed Ringu 3, this would have been expanded on.
