The Grudge 2 (2006)Dir: Takashi Shimizu
Star: Amber Tamblyn, Arielle Kebbel, Sarah Michelle Gellar, et al
Plot: The powerful curse continues to grow and gets stronger as it travels to the States. The basic plot remains the same. It's about the curse, and Aubrey's travel to Japan to bring home her sister, Karen, who is now in the hospital and is suspected of attempting to burn down the infamous house. But it soon becomes apparent that there is no escape from this house or the evil grudge. A lot of people die (disappear) and seems like there is no end...
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
This sequel is worth seeing, if you have been enjoying the various versions of this series. Ironically enough, all directed by the same man and the creator of the it all Takashi Shimizu. However, there is absolutely nothing new to see in this film. Everything that you see, well at least most of it, has appeared in the previous verisons or any other 'hollywood' horror movie. The story and the movie itself, is not all that good. It's the same inter-weaving scenerios of various characters, and also jumping back and forth through time. You could seriously get lost watching this.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, only appears in this one briefly. The one thing that this does have going for itself is the fact that it's a lot creepier and scarier than it seemed. It's definitely more so than the first film. The movie actually gave me goosebumps on several occasions (although I was wearing thongs and sleeveless jumper in an air-conditioned cinema, =P). It does give you some thrills, so if you want something scarey to watch, take on this grudge...
