Together Zimmer, Lohner and Tillman have created some of the most powerful and bone-chilling film music of recent years.

Academy Award® nominee Naomi Watts (21 Grams) reprises the role of investigative reporter Rachel Keller in The Ring Two. Hideo Nakata, the director of the original Japanese blockbuster Ringu upon which the The Ring was based, directed The Ring Two, which marks his American film debut.
In 1998, Japanese director Hideo Nakata’s original “Ringu” brought J-horror, or Japanese horror-a distinct style of scary movies that rely more on story and character than on special effects and gore-into the forefront of Asian cinema and pop culture. Based on the Ringu series of novels by Japanese horror writer Koji Suzuki, Nakata’s “Ringu” became the highest grossing film in Japanese cinema history and spawned two sequels, on of which “Ringu 2” was also directed by Nakata.
Following the international success of “Ringu”, Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produced the American version, “The Ring”. Starring Naomi Watts in the story of a cursed videotape that doomed anyone who watched it to a terrible death in exactly seven days. Opening in fall 2002, the film quickly emerged as a huge sleeper hit, as Americans nationwide discovered the phenomenon that had been sweeping through Asia.
Parkes and MacDonald teamed again to produce “The Ring Two”. The main goal with the sequel was to give it the legitimacy that the first movie had. To achieve that they reassembled the main talent behind “The Ring" success. Screenwriter Ehren Kruger was brought back to pen the sequel. Perhaps more importantly Naomi Watts, who played Rachel Keller, this kind of slightly haunted, at times aggressive, vulnerable and yet strong person, and young David Dorfman, who had portrayed her son Aidan, were set to reprise their roles.
In “The Ring Two”, the director has incorporated many of the storytelling techniques and recurring themes established in his earlier work: single mothers, orphaned children, vengeful spirits, water, and effects of technology on society. In Nakata’s oeuvre, the banal, routine rituals of daily life-the ringing of a phone, the turning of a faucet-are imbued with spine-chilling suspense and trepidation. Normalcy becomes terror.
At the centre of the mystery is Samara herself: the avenging angel-or rather demon-of all abandoned children. In many respects, her behaviour, cruel and destructive as it is, is entirely understandable from the perspective of a wronged child. Despite her monstrous appearance, she is a tragic figure.

However, Rachel's resolve quickly turns to dread when evidence at a local crime scene-including an unmarked videotape-seems eerily familiar. Rachel realizes that the vengeful Samara is back and more determined than ever to continue her relentless cycle of terror and death.
