"The Ring 2"

Just what you all need, a very late movie review:

"The Ring" was one of those rare horror movies - actually scary, with an original story idea. I love those (like "the Grudge" and "Saw", movies that were actually better than you expect). Unfortunately, successful movies prompt sequels. Rarely are they as good as the original, usually they are pretty lame.

Such was the case with "Ring 2". I was happy that the lovely Naomi Watts returns, but the story was just boring. And they never fully explain how the deaths from the supernatural videotape keep happening. I was mostly bored, never really scared but stuck with it to the end hoping that something would make sense. Even a somewhat inspired appearance by Sissy Spacek could not help.
