More horror, yay!
The Ring is a proper horror classic, and not many good movies like that get sequels that are actually well thought through, entertaining, make sense and even add to the story of the original in a natural way.
The Ring Two is a better sequel than most. I feel closer to the story with this than with the first movie, to be honest. When you're too occupied being confused with all the weird plot, there's not a lot of time left to be scared. In this second movie, we already know what the background is and can focus on what's important.
Aidan becoming "possessed" might seem a bit Exorcist-rip off at first, but it turns out very good and creepy. There's nothing more evil than when it infests the one you love, right? The mother soon gets declared crazy for her behaviour towards her son, which is excellent, very realistic and makes it more scary. Anything that brings you back to reality a little bit is a good thing for a story like this, where the plot could otherwise spiral away so far into unbelieveable that all credibility is lost.
Definitely worth a watch for anyone who ever enjoyed a horror.
