My take on Ring Two (2005) movie

I liked Ring 1 a lot. But in part 1 raises more questions than answers.
In particular girl (samara story) the video tape origination and Why now suddenly she started killing? Part 1 did not answer those questions. I watched second part with some hope on some of these questions.

Now coming to second part review , Rachel & her boy moves from Seattle to Oregon & she get job in local new paper. Hoping that they will have better life. In the next scene, again young couple watching TV, video tape & death. (Very much similar to part 1.) Next scene onwards, director shows samara alive in the new place too. Later some of Rachel’s actions make her anger too. Now samara enters in to her son’s body. (These sequences of shots are good.) Now Rachel thinks that better to end samara before it is too late. She goes to original places and investigates Samara story. i.e. where she came from. (Story revolves around before samara adoption ) & movie ends with killingor stoping of samara.
A last major dialog was I am not your fucking mummy.

Part 2 address some of questions but again raises more questions, if samara is looking for Mummy and her love. I think the step mom have already provided that stuff. (In part1, they show stopmom tries a lot for a baby then finally, she adopts samara.) Again why suddenly Samara starts her evil acts? What prompted those? Part2 shows that a video tape spreads around the country and everyone makes a copy? If so, no investigation by any?
Samara original mom dialog “listen to baby”. She says, she tried to kill samara because she asked her to do. But they show samara as infant. Samara mom dairy content is confusing.
Like this many are unanswered.

Now coming to movie, there is not much plot and not much shock like part1. Nearly five & six shots are worth scaring. Actors did good job. In particular Rachel role is too good. Other casting, locations, photography etc are good & apt. Again do not except too much in part2.

At the end, I felt it is different way of story telling with lot of questions & answers left for viewer’s imagination.
