The Ring Two

A nervous teenage boy tries to impress his date by convincing her to watch a supposedly 'scary' videotape. Their evening takes a terrifying turn when he checks his phone, only to notice the chilling events that have unfolded since they watched the tape a week prior.

After seven days, water begins to seep into the boy's room, signaling a supernatural event. The horror escalates when the boy finds his date with her eyes covered, only to witness the horrifying moment when Samara crawls out of the television.

Rachel Keller and her son Aidan relocate to Astoria, Oregon, hoping to escape the dark memories from Seattle. Rachel takes a job at The Astoria Gazette, seeking a fresh start for her and Aidan.

While settling into their new life, Rachel hears about a teenager's mysterious death via the police scanner. This event initiates a new wave of fear linked to the malevolent force Samara.

Driven by the urge to protect her son, Rachel sneaks into the home of the deceased teenager and retrieves the cursed videotape. Despite her efforts to destroy it, she unknowingly triggers a deadly connection between Samara and Aidan.

Aidan experiences a terrifying dream where he becomes immersed in the cursed video. This nightmarish encounter reveals the grim realities of Samara's power and her presence within their lives.

During a day out at the funfair, Aidan captures eerie photographs reflecting Samara in a mirror. The outing takes a grim turn when they encounter a herd of deer, intensifying the growing tension surrounding them.

As Aidan falls ill, Rachel rushes him to her office in an attempt to help him recover. She prepares a hot bath to stabilize his temperature, only to find Aidan trapped in a reverse whirlpool when she returns.

In the hospital, Aidan shows alarming signs of distress, leading Dr. Emma Temple to suspect abuse. Despite his pleas for Rachel, hospital staff remain concerned about his well-being.

In a desperate bid to save Aidan, Rachel returns to Seattle to uncover Samara's dark origins. She learns about Samara's troubled adoption and realizes that the only way to save Aidan is through drowning.

After escaping the hospital, Aidan's behavior becomes increasingly unsettling, as he starts to refer to Rachel as 'mommy.' Rachel's concerns deepen when she discovers that Max has gone missing and is later found dead.

Aidan confides in Rachel that drowning him is the only way to rid him of Samara's spirit. Rachel, conflicted but desperate, prepares to sedate Aidan for the act she believes is the last hope for his survival.

In a tense moment, Rachel attempts to submerge Aidan, realizing they are truly battling the spirit of Samara. As Samara's entity emerges, Rachel fights against the odds to save her son.

In the ultimate act of maternal love, Rachel sacrifices herself to pull Samara back down into the depths of the well. This choice embodies her struggle against Samara's dark influence over their lives.

Emerging from a foggy forest, Rachel faces a moment of reckoning at the cliff where Samara's adoptive mother took her life. She leaps from the cliff, symbolizing the end of their haunted past and awakening on the living room floor with Aidan.
