Review: Rasen / The Ring 2 (1998)

A sequel to 'The Ring', where people who watched a cursed video tape die a horrible death within a week. This time around, pathologist Dr Mitsou Andou (Koichi Sato) and medical student Mai Takano (Miki Nakatani) unravel the mystery behind the death of Dr Ryuji Takayama (Hiroyuki Sanada), who was one of the last victims in the previous film.

It's a lifeless effort, made worse by some cheap production values and grainy film. Apparently, a second sequel to 'Ring' was made later, which ignores all the events in this film.

Japanese with English subtitles.

1 out of 5 stars.
