You know, that creepy little boy from The Ring a) would have made an excellent Squee about five years ago b) is going to be totally creepy-hot in a very Giovanni Ribisi sort of way in a few years. And flawed as the TV version was, he made an excellent EXCELLENT Charles Wallace in A Wrinkle in Time.

So Ring 2 was interesting. Not really all that scary, I think the story kind of exhausted it's scare factor in the first one. But this one was a beautifully photographed exercise in seriously disturbing imagery and ways to make the mundane utterly creeptastic through well applied use of sound.

I've only seen the Japanese version :(

Huh?!

Where the hell have I been?? I didn't even know there was a second one!

I saw the first ones, though (U.S. and Japanese). The U.S. one was decidedly more gritty and disturbing.
