However, it turns out the girl had closed her eyes out of fear and did not see it, and the boy’s time is up. It continues the saga of the cursed video tape by opening with a teenager trying to trick a girl from his class into watching his copy so he can be spared from Samara’s wrath, which is in line with the revelation toward the end of the first film that in order to save yourself, you must make a copy of the tape and show it to someone else. Last week I watched it again for the first time in years out of curiosity, and once again I found myself bored, sighing and shrugging the movie away.
In fact, I basically left the theater with a shrug. When I left the theater after watching The Ring Two, I felt none of the trepidation that hung over my shoulders after the first film. Even though the first one genuinely frightened me, I had to see where the story would go. So in 2005 when the previews for The Ring Two hit the airwaves, I could feel a sense of both dread and anticipation boiling within. The images of the spirit responsible for the tape, Samara, with a cloak of long black hair shrouding her monstrous face, stuck with me for weeks.

The story of a cursed video tape which leads to the viewer’s death after seven days had me leaving the theater in 2002 truly disturbed and never wanting to turn on my TV again. The Ring is a movie audiences either found utterly stupid or utterly terrifying. This post contains some SPOILERS for The Ring and The Ring Two.
