Samara has returned for another go-round at the land of the living, and to try and stir up some trouble in the world above. Unlike the first movie, this one is a bit less frightening, as it's a little more focused on one person, and there is a bit more idea of what is going on.
This time around, Samara has decided that she wants to live as a real child, and so she tries to take over the body of Aidan (David Dorfman). Unfortunately, his mom sorta likes him, so she fights to keep Samara from doing so. Naturally, no one wants to believe her.
In the process, Samara takes out a few people who are trying to help, as is the case in any good (or bad) horror movie, which makes her seem like the bad guy. Oddly enough, no one suspects Aidan, despite the fact that one of the doctors injects air into her jugular next to his bed and he walks out of the hospital. You'd think that someone would think that a bit odd, at least.
At the end, the mom gets sucked into the television and she traps Samara back in her well, so hopefully we won't see a third installment of this concept. I just don't think there is much more that they can do with it.
Rated PG-13 for violence/terror, disturbing images, thematic elements and some language.
While Rated PG-13, it isn't that bad except for a couple of expletives (including one biggie right near the end). There are some violent moments, but they aren't any worse than you'd see on any number of television shows any night of the week, and many of those instances are worse. If your kids are itching for something to watch, this might be the one to let them see.
