adonis98-743-186503 While driving , the pregnant horror-movie actress Kyôko Harase and her fiancé are in a car crash caused by the Toshio's friend. Kyôko loses her baby and her fiancé winds up in a coma. Kyôko was cursed together with a television crew when they shot a show in the haunted house where Kayako was brutally murdered by her husband years ago. Ju-On 2 manages to be even worse than the previous film but also even more boring and stupid than the original was and that's kinda easy i guess with this type of franchise and movies. See it only if you enjoyed the first.

BA_Harrison I'd read that Ju-on 2 was more frightening than the original—not a difficult feat in my opinion, since I found the first film not in the slightest bit scary—but it turned out to be another 92 minutes of equally lame ghostly nonsense in which the viewer is once again expected to be terrified by a small boy in face paint and mascara, and a slow moving, long-haired woman with a bad case of laryngitis.Director Takashi Shimizu's film follows a series of characters as they encounter the dreaded Ju-on curse; each section is painfully slow, the plot becomes progressively more incomprehensible, repeatedly scooting backwards and forwards along its time-line, and there are several lamentable attempts at freaking out the audience, including the pale lad popping up in the driver's foot-well of a car (hilarious), a football transforming into the boy's head (terrible FX), an attack by a wig (predictable), and the croaky woman emerging from moist places (a damp stain on a carpet and from between a woman's legs).

Nathaniel Kidd I was disappointed by the original but this sequel was much, much better. Everything about it has been improved - the plot, the character development, the direction, the mood, the fear factor. The over all feeling of this film is very very creepy. It's exactly how a ghost story should be. It doesn't give you the kind of scares that make you jump out of your skin like some movies do but what it does give you is a very uneasy and haunting feeling. The arrangement and fragmentation of script was excellent. It's broken up into separate stories or chapters like the first one but they've played with the time line in this one in a very wonderful way which contributes to the ghostly feeling of the film as a whole. The story with the banging on the wall was a particular favourite of mine, and, I think, pretty genius.I am so glad I watched this! It has now become one of my favourite Japanese horror films.

Michael_Elliott Ju-on: The Grudge 2 (2003) ** (out of 4) I thought this was the second film in the series but it's actually the forth one. I enjoyed the first film in the series but this one here was pretty disappointing. A TV crew is making a documentary on the house from the first film when their lead actress becomes cursed by the house. The same director as the first film (and its American remake) directed this one but most of his tricks are old and tiresome here. There's one good, creepy scene but that's about it as far as scares go. The director does a very nice job with the pacing of the film, which is good since not much happens.
