Ring 2 (リング2, Ringu 2) is a 1999 Japanese supernatural horror film, directed by Hideo Nakata and serves as a sequel to Ring.
Ring was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, Rasen (a.k.a. Spiral), was also adapted into a film as the sequel to Ring. Due to the negative response to Rasen, Ring 2 was made as a new sequel to Ring. However it was not based on Suzuki's works, thus it ultimately ignores the story of Rasen.
Ring 2 takes place four weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story which features most of the cast from Ring reprising their roles.
