The second movie left off right where the first ended and it was even better than the first I thought. Frodo and Sam find themselves lost in the rocky hills west of
pollute numberless aisles of video rental stores. These films are badly conceived and produced; they fail to elicit any emotion resembling fear, doing a better job at causing a movie viewer to chuckle at the mediocrity of their inherent horror. The Ring is a screenplay by Ehren Kruger and directed by Gore Verbinski that is wonderfully more terrifying than other urban legend "horror" movies of recent production. The main character Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) brings realism and dramatic quality to the
