According to the production notes, there were bizarre incidents on set of life imitating art. On the seventh day, the production office was discovered to have flooded overnight, the result of a burst water pipe. Water is a strong theme in the film. In response, Director Hideo Nakata requested a Japanese purification ceremony be carried out by a Shinto minister, but the strange incidents continued. While on-location, a swarm of bees descended on the prop truck, prompting the immediate evacuation of the department, before the bees left as quickly as they had arrived. For no apparent reason, a five-gallon water jug burst open in the production office kitchen, once again flooding the same room that had flooded earlier. One morning on the Universal lot, a Set Decorator stepped out of the parking garage to discover an antlered buck charging across the asphalt in her direction. Though deer are a regular occurrence in the hills, the similarity to the deer attack in the film is uncanny. See more »

Alternate Versions
There are two slightly different versions of the Region 1 widescreen unrated DVD. One has rougher sound and poorer video quality during the additional scenes, with a few unfinished effects (the viewfinder on Aiden's camera). Some of the music cues are different as well. It also has a different version of the "bobbing for apples" scene, in which Aiden has a vision of his own head underwater. The only apparent difference in packaging is that this version does NOT have the letters "FR" after the catalog number (which is, in both versions, 94433). See more »
Afterwards of horrible occurrence from previous film,the journalist Rachel Keller(Naomi watts) and his son Aidan(Dorfman)move another location.Whenever a teenager spontaneously dies with a horrifying look on his face after of hearing a supposedly killing videotape and one time the phone rings ,telling he had only one week to live .The reporter shows up to investigate these deeds.Mother and son helped by another journalist(Simon Baker) race to save their lives from spooky creature.Rachel tries to get the bottom of mystery and discovers the secrets of life of Samara Morgan and her mommy Anna Morgan(Sissy Spacek).Besides mysterious events are happening into the house and both are caught up by ominous Samara.
This sequel provides great load of screams,grisly murders and creepy atmosphere which becomes pretty sinister with the Samara appearing. The picture is a sleek production with big budget and genuine chills,suspense,tension,shocks and lots of blood,it's a terror-thriller very exciting.The film is narrated with intelligent edition,special use of colour and slick utilization of shock images.Movie has a plethora of special effects describing series of weird and otherwordly happenings and a magnificent make-up by the master Rick Baker specially reflected on the hair-raising countenance of dead. However the surprises from original film have disappeared and results to be an inferior sequel.The eerie musical score is by the excellent Hans Zimmer. The motion picture is correctly directed by Hideo Nakata who made the original Japan version. The flick will like to terror cinema fans.
