    • Trivia
      Naomi Watts was disinterested in filming the sequel after seeing the script, but begrudgingly appeared in the film due to contractual obligations.
    • Goofs
      The deer smash the driver and passenger side windows of the car. In the subsequent scene, Rachel's reflection can be seen in her window (unbroken) as she turns to Aidan.
    • Quotes

      Evil Samara: Mommy!

      Rachel Keller: I'm not your fucking mommy!

      [Rachel pushes the lid of the well shut, trapping Samara]

    • Crazy credits
      Similar to the previous movie, there are no opening credits besides the Dreamworks logo.
    • Alternate versions
      US theatrical version was trimmed for a PG-13 rating. This version was the basis for all worldwide theatrical releases. For the US home video market an unrated version was released on DVD with around 18 minutes of footage added back into the film. In other countries only the theatrical version was released in DVD.

    Not As Good As The First

    Everyone knows the story of The Ring. You watch this tape and your phone rings and some creepy little girl says "Seven Days" which means you have seven days left to live. In The Ring Two, it forgets that story. The movie focuses on Rachael (Naomie Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman). Racheal and Aidan have left their home that they used to live in and to start fresh in Astoria, Oregon. It is 6 months after the events in the first movie. However, Racheal's resolve quickly turns to dread when evidence at a local crime scene including and unmarked video taped-seems familiar. Racheal realizes that the evil Samara is back.

    The original Ring was scary and thrilling. The sequel isn't loaded with terror. But there are some scenes when I did get a bit terrified. Before, seeing it, I expected to be jumping up and down out of my seat and being really scared. The Ring Two is not a bad movie, I just expected a little more.
