Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In this sequel to Ringu (1998), Mai Takano is trying to learn more about the death of her boyfriend, Ryuji. She soon hears stories about a videotape haunted by the spirit of a girl named Sadako, who died many years earlier. Supposedly, anyone watching the tape will die of fright exactly one week later. After some investigating, she learns that Ryuji's son, Youichi, is developing the same psychic powers that Sadako had when she was alive. Mai must now find some way to keep Yuuichi and herself from becoming Sadako's next victims. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

I have seen many Japanese movies, and a lot of the time I have noticed that they try to confuse the audience into what the hell is actually going on, then at the end they give away one piece of information that sort of explains the previous events. I feel that this film tries to explain what happened in the first film with science. This in fact made the first film seem 100% less scary. Don't watch this film if you thought the first film deserved 10/10 because it will ruin it for you. Also don't watch this film if you haven't seen the first one.
