Ring 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 poor 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 a couple of weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story and features most of the cast from Ring reprising their roles. Plot After retrieving Sadako Yamamura's body from a well, the police summon her uncle Takashi to identify her. Detective Omuta informs Takashi that Sadako survived in the well for thirty years, according to forensics. The remains are returned to Takashi, who gives them a burial at sea, hoping to be free from the guilt he has carried since her mother Shizuko committed suicide because of his actions.
