I am one of those people who get really emotionally involved with horrors and to be honest most of them scare me to death! Like most people I found The Ring 1 extremely disturbing, and it took me a while to pluck up the courage to watch the sequel.
The main reason I watched The Ring 2 was in the hope of an ending, where all would be explained and evil laid to rest - Mmm, not so. It definitely was scary and disturbing, especially because her little boy Aiden seems to be getting the worst of it, but I have got to admit it didn't scare and upset me anywhere near as much as the first one. Now this may have been because I watched it with friends after a few drinks, whereas I watched The Ring 1 with my husband sober, but I did still jump at some scenes!
The storyline is fairly strong and the special effects very good, but in my opinion it just didn't have that gripping, disturbing fear factor that makes your heart pound like the first one.
Going by the final scene the evil little girl with the black hair isn't exactly laid to rest and it is therefore left open for a further film, so watch this space for The Ring 3...

I would have liked to have read some information about the actual extras as you are reviewing the dvd format. If you are just reviewing the film rather than the dvd then that is easily changed by clicking the tab at the bottom of the review that says what format are you viewing. Change that to film only.

Hi! I watched this film Friday night, it was just as good as the first RING! I love horror films, but can't seem to find one scary enough! Love the review.
