10 Horror Movies Everyone Watched (But Nobody Remembers)

10. The Ring Two

Ring and Ju-On: The Grudge made serious waves upon their initial release since they were among the first Asian horrors to break into the American mainstream.

These spooky nerve-shredders proved so popular, they both received a Western remake a few years later. When Gore Verbinski's The Ring recouped its budget five times over, it looked like Japanese horror remakes were going to be the next big thing.

Instead, the fad fizzled out just as suddenly as it started. By the time The Ring Two was released in 2005, interest in the property was noticeably lacking. Even though the needless sequel made a profit, it didn't generate the same buzz as its predecessor.

The original contained many iconic moments, including the first death, the tape itself, and Samara's final reveal.

The only thing about The Ring Two that got anybody talking was a bizarre scene involving hostile deer. (The main reason why this sequence stands out is because the special effects are distractingly terrible.)

To be fair, it's understandable why a sequel was greenlit, considering The Ring made a sizeable profit. However, the end-result is such a bore, it would've been better if the brand was left alone.
