ringu 2 is an added extra to an original movie. it feels completely like the novel completing more about the original story.
to be fair its good, but honestly its not as good nor as fulfilling as the first. there is not much that is really scary, nor of course original here. instead we are treated to information about how the tapes work and the origin of the original, the birth, life, and death of the girl in the well. also we are given a sort've ghost hunter exorcism and more reporter on the story sort've thing which we of course assume is only going to lead to more complications.
still in the end theres enough here to make it a compelling watch, and after seeing the first you'll definitely want to watch this. in fact i remember when i first saw part 2 that i thought better of it then. i had just recently watched the first and this was a nice addition. now seeing it again, and not having seen the first in a while, its not especially exciting but far from bad.
