DVD Review - The Ring Two (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Customer Review

You'll get involved with this Ring.

The first film was based on the Asian version, RINGU (1998). Americans made their own version, THE RING (2002). It really wasn't all that eerie and a girl with long black hair coming out of a television set like a cat just didn't scare me a bit. It put me to sleep.

The powers-that-be decided to make a sequel. I even passed by it at Blockbuster Video, but this DVD version is the unrated version, so I decided to give it a try.
Naomi Watts and David Dorfman return for the second go-around. All right, I got into the storyline this time. Even though I have had enough of "evil-kid" movies.
Instead of giving a review, here are my thoughts during the film: The boy, David Dorfman, reminds me of a young former Vice-President Dan Quayle. Simon Baker as "Max" had me thinking of Dominic West. The woman cutting paper, with all due respect, looked like Loretta Lynn (the facial features not the movie character), but of course, it was Sissy Spacek. And yes, Sissy Spacek looked like Loretta Lynn now than she did 25 years ago in Coal Miner's Daughter (1980).

Spoiler: The best ending you could want for this film. I think the viewers are satisfied.

DVD includes in Special Features many extras, including 9 minutes of deleted scenes.
