Ring 2

Article summary

is a 1999 Japanese supernatural horror film, directed by Hideo Nakata and serves as a sequel to Ring. Ring was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, Spiral, was also adapted into a film as the sequel to Ring. Due to the negative response to Spiral, Ring 2 was made as a new sequel to Ring; it was not based on Suzuki's works and ultimately ignores the story of Spiral. Ring 2 takes place four weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story which features most of the cast from Ring reprising their roles.
