Product Information
The titular curse expands along with the franchise in the sequel to THE GRUDGE, which itself was a remake of the Japanese original for American audiences. The film has an ensemble cast and an extensive number of subplots that further reflect this tendency towards expansion. The story picks up right where the last one ended, with Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) in the hospital, the only survivor of an ill-fated encounter with a cursed house. She has not emerged unscathed, however, and it's up to her estranged sister, Aubrey (Amber Tamblyn, JOAN OF ARCADIA), to figure out the mystery behind the strange-goings-on related to the now half-demolished house. In doing so, she teams up with a journalist named Eason (Edison Chen), who has been following the case from the very beginning, and the pair embarks on a trip to the decidedly creepy Japanese countryside, hoping to visit the mother of one of the house's original inhabitants. Meanwhile, three teenage girls who attend a local international high school are haunted with nightmarish encounters, which begin after they venture inside the house to pull a mean prank on the new girl. When one of the girls returns home to Chicago, the curse spreads to her apartment building, where members of a family that have recently acquired an unexpected new stepmother (Jennifer Beals, FLASHDANCE, THE L WORD) violently turn on one another. Symptoms of the curse begin to turn up everywhere, while a horrified Aubrey learns that there is no way to stop it from spreading. Although the film suffers from a diffuse plotline and an unfortunate flashback sequence at the end, the high production values and well-executed special effects ensure a highly satisfying experience for discerning viewers out for a thrill.
Now, this movie was over rated on the commercials it is not at all as good as they made it out to be. What you see in the commercials it probably the best parts out of it, and does not get any better. It is not at all really scary. You might get one jump in this movie, it is not at all really that tense, bloody, gorey, or anything like horror movies should be, and are suppose to be. Now, if your into collecting horrors like I am and just want it for your collection than buy it but if your not than I recommend just renting it unless you can buy it for the price it cost to rent. I say the first Grudge was a lot better. I can only give this movie a 3 out of a 5 rating.
The Grudge 2
If you were a fan of the Grudge you'll be a fan of the sequel. I wasn't a fan of the Grudge and I wasn't a fan of the sequel. The Grudge 2 just isn't that scary, at least it's not that scary for hardcore horror fans. It's decent but nothing special at all and it's definitely not memorable. I was highly dissapointed by this movie and I'm sure you sill be too!
Final Verdict:
3/5
Rent or Buy?: It's decent but nothing special. I'd recommend renting it first unless you're a huge fan of the original.
IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
Hmmm....Not as good as the first one, but still glad I watched it. This movie does have a couple parts that is very scary, specially when your home alone at night. The sound she makes is freaky...good to watch...
I purchased this DVD to complete a series in my collection. It is a great movie trilogy and better when you have all the movies.
I like horror movies and The Grudge series definitely keeps one on their toes.
In comparison there is really none....
