I just finished watching the Ring and the Ring 2. And though the plot in the movies are not really the greatest. The character of Samara on the other hand has got to be one of the greatest movie villians ever. And you want to watch the movies just to find more stuff out about her.

The Ring 1 was alot more interesting than the Ring 2 because the Ring 2 really dealt with the mother and her son while the Ring 1 dealt with the good stuff in finding out who was causing all this Ruckus.

For anybody who has seen both movies do you know if the series is over with or are they planning on making a third one.

In any rate Samara has got to be amongst the top 5 villians of all-time.

Like the producers said Samara has kind of become the patron demon icon of abandoned children.

Shes spooky, but not scary. But she was the bench mark villain for many movies...........

She made me tear the first time I saw her. She was the first ghost girl I've ever seen.

You mean Samara is in other horror flicks besides the Ring movies?

[Necronopticous]

Sadako was better, and the only good film in the myriad of Japanese and American Ring movies out now is the original Ringu.

Is Sadako the Japanese version of Samara? And I looked up the Ringu trilogy and there was something like five Ringu movies. I wonder if there will be that many Ring movies.

"The Japanese films known as "Ring" or "Ringu" can be numbered 0 (this one (http://http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0235712/) ), 1 (Ringu (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0178868/), 1998) and 2 (Ringu 2 (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0218553/), 1999), and function well as a self-contained story. This film, Ring 0: Birthday is a prequel. I prefer watching it first, but if you want more mystery in the other films, watch them in their release order: Ringu, Ringu 2, then Ringu 0. Note that there is also a Japanese film named Rasen (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0134928/) (aka Spiral, 1998) which was meant to be a "Ring 2", but that was later superseded with the 1999 Ringu 2. Rasen is supposedly closer to the second Ring novel, but 1999's Ringu 2 is seen as more or less the "official" Ringu sequel." I'm pretty sure Ring 2 is what The Ring 2 is based on, not Spirals.

The fifth one looks like a TV movie here. (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0235133/)


So probably no more The Ring movies!
