    What is it about a pale looking Japanese woman that?s so damn scary? This is a much better film than the first (The remake). Without wasting too much time on the reasons why, this film sticks to giving the audience big scares and unlike most American horrors, it declares that the...( read more)re is no stopping evil spirits and you?re next, no matter what you do. Very refreshing and original! The separate intertwined storeys set in two time-lines was a welcome idea. That said, the spooky pale Japanese woman has now had her time and this should be the end of it. Don't forget to watch the original Japanese versions though, plus Japanese films like, Ring, The Eye and any Takeshi Miike films!

    There are one or two genuinely freaky moments in The Grudge 2. They almost boarder on scary. Unfortunately, they are ruined by a few terrible actors that almost have you laughing. The main ghosts also become repetitive and this is the same stuff from The Grudge, which was all tak...( read more)en from the Japanese version. It's confusing narrative does nothing but create headaches, and it offers no surprises, as anyone familiar with the franchise knows where it is headed. You can't really feel connected to these characters and after an awesome cruel breakfast scene, everything seems tame.

    The second US version of the Grudge films doesn't do anything different than the first except splitting the plot into three branches, of which the Chicago family doesn't seem to have much in common with the Japanese curse at first. Before the constant switching between Japan and ...( read more)the US gets too tiresome you can already figure out the connection, just another wasted opportunity to bring some fresh wind into the franchise. SM Gellar isn't long enough in the movie for you to say "Buffy!", and everything else just feels like a deja-vu. Sure, there are a few nice scares and exciting scenes, always shortly before the ghosts strike again, but most of the flat characters are acting so dumb that you feel like yelling "Take them already" anyway. A stupid film and pretty much a waste of time.

    I am such a wuss when it comes to scary movies, I wasn't really paying attention because I was home alone when I watched it, so maybe I might have a different opinion if I had actually watched it.

    I loved this movie! There were so many great scenes of the ghosts getting people, inspired from various Ju-On movie sequences. It's nice they included the schoolgirl story, which seemed absent from the first Grudge film.

    Most of the ghost appearances are the mother ghost Kayak...( read more)o with her long black hair. There weren't enough scenes with the little boy ghost Toshio and his black cat; probably because they got a different actor to play him. Even the famous killer ghost daddy Takeo makes an appearance.

    Sarah Michelle Gellar appears in this movie as Karen, only to be killed off. I hate it when movie sequels do that. (She chose to act in "The Return" instead, a terrible movie).

    Karen's sister Aubrey (Amber Tamblyn) is sent to Japan to visit Karen in the hospital, but that doesn't last very long. Karen soon dies, and Aubrey is left to investigate the burned-out shell of the Grudge house from the first film. Aubrey is assisted by a reporter, in uncovering the root of the evil curse; we get some wacky flashbacks of Kayako as a child, being force-fed the psychic pains of villagers who came to relieve their evil attachments.

    The main thrust of this movie is to get the ghosts out of the haunted house in Japan, to America. This is accomplished by having Americans go into the haunted house and bringing the ghostly curse back home with them. The curse spreads to an aparment building in Chicago, where two families are destroyed.

    There's lots of jump-points, and weird death scenes when the ghosts get their victims, who simply disappear into thin air.

    This movie switches between at least three different timelines throughout. It's a bit confusing, but they're easy enough to piece together once you've seen the entire movie. They cheated a bit by changing some of the details when they're shown a second time around.

    I really liked this movie; probably more than the original Grudge flick.
