Oh my word, I loved the movie. And the plot isn't confusing, you just have to go see the movie actually wanting to know the plot rather than just to be scared, because then you'll ignore the plot and just pay attention to scary parts. Anyway, there are SOOOOOOO many jumpy parts! A WHOLE LOT more than the first one! I jumped and screamed and griped and hyperventilated a lot! I really liked the movie, and the two most intense scenes for me (i.e. got my heart pounding) is the one when Rachel slams the door in and all the water is coming out of the tub/faucet and to the ceiling, and then it crashes down, and then near the end when Rachel is in the well and she is climbing away from Samara! Samara crawled really scary/creepy and really fast!! Oh, and that comment by Rachel: "I'm not your *bleep*ing mommy!" I am a Christian and really do not like curse words, especially that one (it makes me cringe), but for some strange reason it did not offend me or take me aback or anything! IT actual seemed right, like I was expecting her to say it, although I didn't know she was! It was just so right! I loved the ENTIRE movie, will definitely be owning it (own the first already)!! Oh, and by the way, I think I liked it so much because I saw it on my local IMAX movie screen (which is seven times larger than a regular movie screen). Definitely more scary on a screen that size!!!!!
P.S. - They are making a third one (because the Japanese versions of these films called "Ringu" are a trilogy), and I will forever be scared of deer from this point on!!!
P.S.S. - The reason many people think it is better than the first one is because they got a new director for this one. This one is directed by the man who filmed all three "Ringu" movies in Japan, so he knows the story very well. NOT to say that "The Ring" (the first one) is bad, I love it, very creepy, but this is why I like the second one better!
