I love this movie so much
A Disappointing Continuation
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
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.
I Thought that Ju-on 2 Was a great horror film just as good as the first film. While driving, a 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 ends 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. While each member of the team dies. Kyôko is informed that she has a three-and-a-half-month-old foetus in her womb. I Thought that Ju-on 2 was a great horror film. I felt that This film which was directed by Shimizu Takashi was more psychologically disturbing than the first film. and i felt that it had a very creepy feel to it.
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.
I found this even more confusing (and even less frightening) than the first Grudge film, with which it shares many features: The same lack of coherent plot (again I had to refer to the synopsis (above) to find out what the film's actually about), the same white-faced children, the same girl from The Ring (nice effect the first time I saw it, getting a bit passé now), same pools of water (ooh, scary, scary water), same silly hairpiece dragging itself across the floor (couldn't the characters just squash the thing with a heavy book or something?). Not scary in the slightest: would probably have been better billed as a light comedy, or a soporific.
