After some investigating, she learns that Ryuji's son, Youichi, is developing the same psychic powers that Sadako had when she was alive. Mai must now find some way to keep Yuuichi and herself from becoming Sadako's next victims. IMDB

Review:
This was not the original sequel to Ringu. The sequel is called The Spiral, and they were released at the same time in the theatre. No one liked The Spiral, so they remade the second movie, and it was called Ringu 2. I have never seen The Spiral, so I don't know which is better.. but I've read that The Spiral really answers a lot of questions that the trilogy doesn't. So, I really look forward to seeing that movie, even though it is supposed to be very boring.

I like this movie, it is okay, once again I think it could be scarier and darker, but it is much, much better than The Ring 2 (American version). This movie is pretty good and I would recommend it to anyone.

Language is Japanese. Shouldn't be too difficult to find, especially with English subtitles or dubbed.

So, it deserves:
