Rachel Keller, the worst mother in the world, dealt with the supernatural woes that befell her in a perfectly acceptable way. According to her. "We didn't do anything wrong," Rachel assures her young, intensely creepy son, Aidan. "We did what anyone would do."
Here is what Rachel, played with unswerving hotness by Naomi Watts, did: Chronically ignored Aidan (David Dorfman), despite the fact that he was having conversations with a very angry young ghost girl in desperate need of some barrettes. Allowed Aidan to roam around their Seattle apartment, free to watch a grainy videotape guaranteed to result in his death seven days after viewing. Pulled this totally misguided and self-aggrandizing inner-child-salvaging lunacy in which she yanked the evil ghost kid, Samara, out of a deep well. And then ultimately, as The Ring concluded, engaged Aidan in a plot to save themselves by ensuring the death of others.
So, as The Ring Two begins, there are myriad copies of the deadly tape floating around the Pacific Northwest. (Rachel has moved to Astoria, Ore., as if that will help anything.) After a thrill-chasing youngster is killed by angry Samara creeping out of the television set -- as is Samara's wont -- Rachel brilliantly decides that as long as she sets the tape on fire, the ghost can do no more harm. "Not here, Samara!" Rachel insists quite fervently as the tape burns. "Not here!"
Yeah, right. But the problem with The Ring Two is not that it is predictable, or kind of dumb, or even that it happily champions the worst mother in the world. (Although it is and does all those things.) The problem is that it is not, for even a tiny second, legitimately scary.
The Ring Two was directed by Hideo Nakata, which would appear on the surface to be a good thing. The Japanese filmmaker made the Ringu series, on which The Ring was based, in his native country. But the American sequel departs quite vividly from its Japanese counterparts and, by extension, its predecessor. Whereas The Ring was one of the scariest movies of past decades, with a brutal and deeply mysterious fog hanging over it, The Ring Two wants quite badly to tear the lid off every mystery. In the process, any sense of fear or wonder is drained from the movie.
What's left? Some angry, very badly computer-generated deer. (Oh no! Bambi!) A lot of water splashing about. A passel of actors in cameos that are embarrassing simply because they exist in this movie. (Gary Cole? Elizabeth Perkins? Sissy Spacek? Couldn't you have just made commercials or porn or something?)
The sequel has even jettisoned the actress who played Samara -- there is merely a body double enhanced with some CGI jerkiness -- so we never even see the ghost's face. When the sight of a mildewed kid in a dirty white gown scratching at the wall fails to frighten someone who only recently has gotten over the fact that The O.C.'s Mischa Barton was the girl under the bed in The Sixth Sense, your movie is simply not very scary.
