		The film was later remade in Korea as The Ring Virus (1999), and in the United States as The Ring (2002).

		The Ring and Rasen (released in English as Ring and Spiral respectively) were best-selling novels by Koji Suzuki.

	Echo Online :: Arts & Entertainment :: 'Ring Two' disappoints
		The second film picks up right where the first one left off and to those who have not seen the first film, it might seem a little strange but it is still negotiable.
		As with the first film, newspaper reporter Rachel is determined to uncover the mysterious nature of the videotape and the origins of its star Samara.
		The film does contain some impressive visual effects and the films score gently builds tension throughout, but it a shame that the payoff isn't as scary as the buildup.

	The Ring review
		With its subtle and hypnotic approach to horror, its stylized esthetics and mirror effects, The Ring is an atypical film, a postmodern work that transcends a dying genre to feed itself with the obsessions and phobias of a society that's victim to media saturation.
		Based on Ringu, the adaptation of Koji Suzuki's famous novel that generated a sequel, a prequel and a series, The Ring is a psychological and daring film on the fringe of traditional horror cinema.
		She brushes against the surface of the film while watching it but she is then directly involved in its images through the investigation and the curse weighing on her.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: The Ring Two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		When 2002’s “The Ring” ended, the mood was bleak, promising a wave of hysteria to follow with even more outbreaks of Samara across the world.
		The screenplay, by original writer Ehren Kruger, is a rehash of the first film: Samara is crawling out of more T.V. sets, Rachel is the victim of a random animal attack (this time with some deer), and she finds herself in Samara’s well yet again for the climax.
		“Ring Two” tries to pursue the history behind Samara with a new character played by Sissy Spacek, which appears to be the only effort put into opening up this new film and furthering the plot.

	Hollywood Gothique: Ring (1998) Film Review
		RING (spelled Ringu, to distinguish it from the American remake) is a smash hit horror film from Japan, where it has spawned sequels, imitators, and tie-in merchandise.
		The film starts with an urban legend related by one of the characters: A boy accidentally sets his VCR to record a blank station, but instead of ending up with a tape full of static, he plays back the image of an evil woman warning him that he will die in a week.
		RING was followed by two sequels, SPIRAL and RING 2, a prequel (RING 0), a Korean remake (THE RING VIRUS), and an American remake THE RING, which itself spawned a sequel, THE RING TWO, directed by Nakata.

	Ring/Ring 2/Ring 0: Birthday
		Ring is nothing less than a phenomenon in Japan, with two TV productions, three novels, two short stories, and four movies devoted to the saga.
		Ring, like Audition, is a must-see for any horror fan, and will undoubtedly stand the test of time as a classic of the genre.
		The film’s fatal flaw is showing Sadako in full (in the first film, we never get a real look at her face, only a climactic, chilling glimpse).

		Ring 2 is the second and more highly regarded film based on the novel "Spiral", Koji Suzuki's follow up to his 1991 publishing phenomenon, Ring.
		Ring 2 is a sequel in the truest sense, continuing and elaborating upon the story of its predecessor rather than simply rehashing it.
		The film is not bereft of spine-tingling moments, but those of the first one were better and more numerous.

	DVD Review - The Ring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		To me that film is "The Ring." Although not flawless — not by any means — it is nonetheless one of the scariest film in years.
		As pointed out in the beginning, the film is not flawless however, and it’s a result of two major flaws that can be traced throughout the film.
		If you get over the fact that the film is so highly derivative, "The Ring" is actually one of the scariest films in years, so it should be clear that no horror fan can possibly afford to miss out on this release.

	The "Ring" Master: Interview With Hideo Nakata
		We have the opposite in the Ring film, where we have this very evil character who shows only one eye and her hair, and I think that is the most powerful image regarding these devilish characters.
		All this is related to the photographs and the image distortion we use in the film, because the writer did do research on that before writing the script to incorporate it into the film.
		The relationship between the well and the TV monitor [in Ring 2] is that the monitor itself is the tube or connection to hell.

	Exclusive Naomi Watts/The Ring Interview
		Watts is now starring in her first Hollywood film, The Ring, a remake of the acclaimed Japanese horror pic in which she plays a reporter trying to unravel the chilling mystery of a videotape that kills whoever watches it, exactly seven days later.
		While it is a genre film, Watts was attracted to this as her first big US film, "because it's such a great role, especially the protagonist being female when that kind of part is normally reserved for the guys.
		I think The Ring has that air of intelligence about it." Although she plays a reporter in The Ring, Watts found few parallels between that aspect of her character, and her real-life relationship with the tabloid press, although she does admit that America's tabloids are tame in comparison to what she is used to.

		The Lord of the Rings - the Fellowship of the Ring
		Let's not beat around the bush here: The Fellowship of the Ring is a superb mythopoetic epic, full of thunderous emotion and as visually awe-inducing as anything you've ever seen.
		When Liv Tyler's elf Arwen and the injured Frodo are galloping across the plains with the hooded ringwraiths breathing down their necks, the scene conjures up images of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, even as its pure physicality sets the heart racing and the blood pounding.

	'Ring Two' tops weekend with $35.1 mil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		DreamWorks' "The Ring Two" circled $35.1 million on its debut this weekend to nab the top spot at the boxoffice, a far cry from the $15 million opening of the first "Ring" film in 2002, according to Monday's final figures.
		The PG-13-rated "Ring Two," starring Naomi Watts and David Dorfman and helmed by Hideo Nakata, who directed the original Japanese films "Ringu" and "Ringu 2," fell shy of toppling the record for the biggest opening for a horror film.
		The G-rated feature, aimed primarily at young female moviegoers and directed by Tim Fywell, didn't end up with the score that was hoped for as the romantic comedy/drama picked up a disappointing $6.8 million to place fourth.

		She seems to be a creature who exists primarily as a memetic, rather than a genetic entity, and her survival is determined by her abilty to infect as many people as possible with the memes she carries in her brain.
		The principal character of the film is a young doctor, Ando Mitsuo, who suffers mightily from the accidental drowning of his son.
		Again, the film makers are faced with the problem of continuing a story that doesn't really need to be continued; and again they fail by trying to frind explanations for things that were better left in the viewers' imaginations.

	Third "Ring" movie planned - Arts and Faith
		According to this article Hideo Nakata is looking to direct a third American Ring film, which would be a prequel to the last two.
		He says he would base it on Ring 0, a Japanese movie he directed, which tells the story of the earlier life of Yamamura Sadako (Japan's version of Samara Morgan) and the events leading up to her gruesome death.
		The Japanese Ring films as a whole seem to focus more on the supernatural horror aspect of the story (I myself have only seen the first one, Ring), and not so much on the interpersonal and family themes.

	Ringu review
		Although the mythology of the film, the evil influence of a ghost on the screen, is not very credible, the omnipresence of television in our lives channels terror more concretely than an extraordinary killer or monster.
		Although the film starts in urban civilization, the roots of the evil spell seem to be located in a more traditional society.
		While the story is undoubtedly intriguing, the film seems to hesitate in frightening the audience, groping around for the perfect dose of suggestion, subtlety and fright.

	The Ring Two movie review, In Film Australia
		There is a foreboding sense of dread that lingers ominously throughout The Ring Two, even as the film's aura debilitates from obscurity while its story structure struggles with vagueness.
		Not surprisingly the US films are more instantaneous, with less space between thrills and they read as a more compact and marketing-friendly product.
		The Ring Two achieves at least one highly effective image, which is of a running bathtub with all of its water drawn up to the ceiling like a magnet.

	indielondon.co.uk - film - The Ring, review
		Enlisting the help of her boyfriend (Martin Henderson’s Noah), who also watches it, the film then becomes a race against time for both of them, particularly when the stakes are raised by the fact that Watts’ son, who appears to be psychic, stumbles upon the tape himself.
		Ringu, the Japanese classic upon which The Ring is based, became one of the country’s highest grossing films of all time when it was released in 1998 and spawned a sequel, and there is already rumour surrounding the possibility of the US version following the same path.
		The film possesses an air of menace which makes it very difficult for viewers to relax, especially if they haven’t seen the original, while the truth behind the tape is well-hidden; it will keep you guessing up until the final reel.

	Ring Film Review
		The film has moments of pure silence which builds a unique atmosphere housing such an unnatural presence which manages to reach out and touch every nerve in your body, filling the viewer with utter dread.
		Now that the film is available for the small screen it's horror takes on a whole new level.
		The first of which is that is that at many points in the film opertunities are missed to build up the tension.

		When the phone rings (a memorably exaggerated effect), Asakawa is convinced that the curse is active and calls in her scientist ex-husband Ryuji (Hiroyuki Sanada) to help.
		The film itself is fairly well made and does have a dark atmosphere about it,but it really isn't scary in the slightest.
		Ring never bills itself as anything other than it is. People who are passionate about it can sometimes over egg the pudding but that's because they want you to find the joy (or thrills) they felt from watching this.

		Film is placed normally in the holder and the ANR Insert is placed over the film instead of using the T-locks.
		Many times, the film needs to be controlled more, in which case the strip of film can be attached to the etched surface of the ANR Insert.
		Now attach the other end of your film but remember the key goal to accomplish when taping down the second end of the film is to create a moderate tension in the film.

	the ringworld - ring-themed attractions
		The first attraction, Ring Ø: Sadako, was also a "3D horror," though it made additional use of "vibrations, wind, and other elements." The attraction, which was later unveiled at all six Joypolis branches, had a running time of five minutes.
		Finally, Joypolis Tokyo also held a "Roots of the Ring" exhibit that included actual props used in the filming of Ring and Rasen (like Takayama Ryuji's cadaver!) For photographs, be sure to visit the Ring Photograph page at the Japanese fansite "LoopKai" Project.
		On the ring side was the dinner combo which featured a "Ring Burger" (with fried calamari rings in place of a beef patty) served with a side of onion rings.

	Fellowship of the Ring (film) - Tolkien
		The one point where this film seems to fall short is in not emphasizing the weakness of the adversarial characters that counterbalances the emerging loyalty of the heroes: exclusive concern with their own ambitions, betrayal, and paranoia.
		It's needed to make the bonds between the heroes stand out more clearly — as something precious in their own right as the Ring is not, as a source of strength, and at the same time as something threatened by Sauron's plans, which would create a world of masters and slaves where friendship was impossible.
		Viewers familiar with The Fellowship of the Ring who hope to see as much of the book as possible to be represented in the film must choose the extended DVD version.
