About This DVD
The Ring 2 sequel further complicates the urban myth of the original tale,
adding a chilling back-story concerning the origins of Sadako, the long-haired,
bug-eyed living dead girl who chills her victims like a video nasty.
Shell-shocked by the sudden death of her boyfriend, Koichi, Mai Takano takes it
upon herself to investigate the sinister videotape that purportedly kills those
who watch it after exactly one week. But the police also want to question Takano
concerning her proximity to another death, that of Koichi's former
father-in-law, and the disappearance of his ex-wife, Reiko, the journalist who
began investigating the video tape curse. Plagued by premonitions and visions,
hounded by the police, Takano stumbles upon Yoichi, Reiko's son, who after
viewing the videotape has acquired strange supernatural powers. Although now
mute, Takano seems able to communicate with him and wins the frightened boy's
confidence in order to involve him in scientific experiments carried out by Dr
Ikuma, the aims of which are to break the curse of Sadako once and for all.
Director Nakata stays true to the tone of his original, tightening the plot like
a piano wire around the audience, and priming them for the inevitable next
episode in the series.
