    Ju-on:The Grudge 2" is the sequel to the smash-hit "Ju-on:The Grudge", and is the fourth installment into the "Ju-on" series. Like it's precursor, it is told in chapters. All the chapters are somehow connected to the curse of the grudge.

    Were you disappointed by "Ju-on:The Gru...( read more)dge"? Well, if you were (like me), you'll be surprised. This sequel was MUCH better than the original in almost every aspect. The scares were more scarier, there were more scares, tenser scenes, a LOT better acting, a much better story, and a more solid plot. I was really surprised by how good this sequel was. Ever heard of the old sequel rule? "Sequels are never as good as the originals"? Well, I' happy to say that that doesn't apply here.

    So to sum it up, I really enjoyed this movie. It was a major improvement on the original film. If you're a fan of the Ju-on series, you have to watch this.

    This is a fantastic horror sequel to the original. It keeps the same premise but injects a vast array of wonderful characters. These aren't the same old bunch of teenagers just led to the slaughter. Each one has a particular chaarceter and comes across as an innocent victim to an...( read more) evil fate. They really can be related to, making the horror much more effective. The hanging/bumping scene is truly freaky and twisted, and the ending certainly leaves the audience wanting more but still offers a satisfying (but still disturbing) conclusion. Simple ghosts from the original continue to freak out and it is a gripping and unsettling film from the beginning.

    If you count the first two direct-to-video movies, this would be the 4th movie in the Takashi Shimizu's Japanese Ju-On series.

    The Ju-on Curse spreads and takes more lives in this followup sequel to the smash success Ju-On.

    Like Elm Street 5, this has the theme of motherhoo...( read more)d, with the Ju-On ghosts attempting to enter the real world through a woman's baby.

    The plot also concerns a film crew shooting a documentary about the Ju-On curse on location. Let me tell you, everybody on the crew of that thing don't have a chance as the curse finds them and gets them in some weird and scary ways!

    The ghost boy Toshio is back with his freaky black cat. Kayoko, the long-haired ghost mother makes several freaky appearances. I don't think the evil daddy appears in this one.

    The stories are once again told episodically in a shuffled order. There's one great story with a Japanese schoolgirl who is stuck in a freaky time/space loop where she's inside and outside the cursed house in rapid succession. I was freaked with the apartment scene when the residents wonder what is causing a banging sound each night at the same time from the neighbour's wall. The ending is shocking, but no great surprise after witnessing all the freaky things which have just occurred.

    I liked the first theatrical Ju-On movie a bit more, because it had tighter pacing and more centered on the haunted house.

    The thing I don't understand with these Ju-On movies is why do the ghosts of the mother and boy want to cause harm to innocent people? They were innocent victims once themselves, and should show some understanding. They were killed by surprise, so shouldn't show much rage. They should go after who killed them instead.

    I personally find it bizarre how every single half-baked horror film that gets released seems to warrant a sequel these days; I honestly don't know why a lot of these movies exist. Ju-on is actually one of the few that deserved a sequel; whether or not it was a good idea to make ...( read more)it is open to debate though. I personally consider the original Ju-on the best straight horror film I've ever seen, but the sequel seems to have fallen into the usual horror sequel trap. Instead of expanding on the idea, the director seems to have thought "well we did all the build up in the original, so let's jump straight in with the scary stuff!" Unfortunately, without the build up, there is no tension, and so instead of being scary, the spooky happenings seem faintly ridiculous; the opening section makes the ghostly boy look like some kind of albino gremlin! Add some rather gimmicky nonsense including hairy nooses and a mobile wig and it's very difficult to take seriously. It does improve towards the end, and the final half hour does contain some genuinely creepy moments, but it seems to be content to rip off the (inferior) Ringu rather than carrying on the tradition of the original movie. Not bad, but not in the same league as Ju-on.

    Almost as good as the first one. The Asians are so much better at producing some decent horror flicks and this one is a good example.

    This sequel keeps its creepiness, but amidst a myriad of flashbacks/time-turning it confuses the watchers. And tbh Kayoko doesn't look that scary after all these.

    Still prefer the first one! But overall, it was still scary as hell.
