It's the exact same movie almost. Very shitty sequel.


Posted By: myscalpel_gleams at 3:36am, January 18, 2010

Nowhere near as good as the first, or the original Japanese versions for that matter. I saw this only because I heard Gellar would reprise her role, to be honest.

The story makes absolutely no sense. Amber Tamblyn comes in as Gellar's sister, and there is absolutely no indication that Gellar even had a family in the first film, let alone a sibling.

This can be confusing at times, jumping from story to story, character to character at random times. The events have no correlation or effect on one another.

this is a good movie not realy scary but fun


Posted By: katexmason at 3:31pm, November 29, 2009

i actually prefer this one to the original. its ever so slightly scarier, though only if you watch it in the dark.


Posted By: JoshG16 at 5:46pm, November 23, 2009

Not as good as the frist on but is amzin film scary as hell nd why such bad crities silly ppl


Posted By: horrorfreak888 at 6:47pm, November 14, 2009

pretty good


Posted By: The Spook at 5:22pm, November 7, 2009

This wasen't scary, but it wasen't bad either! The plot is confusing, but the movie still have some good scenes! Acting is decent and so is the rest of the movie, just decent.

It was scary, but not good..


Posted By: bloodnguts313 at 10:55pm, October 30, 2009

This was alot scaryier than the first 1 but still not great


Posted By: caseynight88 at 9:52pm, September 24, 2009

You had to have watched this in a cinema full of screaming girls to appreciate it as much as the first. Watched it on DVD by myself later, the effect just wasn't there anymore. Still solid to me though, just lacks that sheer horror of the first.


Posted By: LuJr81 at 3:26am, September 12, 2009

This film is horrible, the first one wasn't anything special either, but this was just garbage. Most of the time all you see is that dead girl with her mouth open making that stupid sound and then it cuts to a black screen, so lame. These asian remakes are repetetive and predictable. Girl dies, girl haunts and pops out at you whoop dee fuckin doo. For the love of God hollywood, get some new writers to make ORIGINAL material.


Posted By: Chora765 at 11:15am, September 11, 2009

its good first one was better tho the scarest part of this movie is when the dude is in the red room that part scared the shit out of me.


Posted By: Razor_Sharp at 6:29am, September 8, 2009

This is rather funny that scary. It's really stupid.


Posted By: groundgamer at 2:07pm, August 22, 2009

The Grudge wasn't that great to start with, so to spoil an alright film with a terrible sequel is absurd! The Grudge 2 is a basic, scary movie with horrible acting, and a plot that will make you laugh. I still have to admit though, this is a scary movie, with some good scary scenes, and the CGI is awesome, but that's still not enough to pick this movie up and bring it to the top. Is it too hard to make a good sequel you damn film makers? This movie is a massive dissapointment to fans of the first.

3/10

not as bad as the first


Posted By: riotsquid1408 at 2:01am, July 31, 2009

the first was better


Posted By: hellangel at 6:56pm, July 30, 2009

I thought this was a pretty well done sequel.


Posted By: skatekid95 at 4:47pm, July 21, 2009

not that good, the first was better


Posted By: Dead_Scream at 6:24am, June 27, 2009

It scared the hell outta me so it did its job.


Posted By: epiklow at 1:27pm, June 22, 2009

Well... I'm re-watching it right now, since it's randomly on TV haha and it's not that scary. I like the cute asian reporter, but everyone's acting is really lame. The first time I watched it my dad wanted to see it too, but he fell asleep five mintues into the movie.

One of the most underrated films I've ever seen. It's just a different method of horror, that just doesn't appeal to American Audiences. It's all based on Japanese mythology and fears.

Shimizu still is able to tap into all those primal fears with The Grudge 2, and trill the viewer. Also, Chistopher Young's music score is fantastic. Personally, I loved it, also because it was a new kind of approach to horror (that most american audiences don't appreciate, but that's expected), was loaded with tributes to the original Ju-On films, and still kept me on the edge of my seat. Creeped me out not as much as the first, but still got under my skin so much it made me question if there really was nothing there in the dark.

The Grudge 2 is a simple ghost story, with a unsettling atmosphere and creepy scares if you go into this in a different mindset than most americans. Bring on the best of J-Horror: The Ju-On/Grudge series.



Posted By: Skratchy at 6:59pm, April 12, 2009

Holy hell this is horrible.

Most of the scarescenes were taken from Ju-on: The Curse (which was a made for tv movie in Japan that eventually spawned Ju-on: The Grudge).

I've seen better turds wrapped in a horror movie.

Its okay but i number 1 is better


Posted By: horrorfan25 at 9:06am, January 24, 2009

I watched The grudge 2 in theaters and I loved it. When I saw the DVD I immediately turned off my DVD player because it was so boring. I think I liked the sequel in theaters because I was with friends and we were goofing around, but when I watched it alone it was crap. The scares go nowhere and the whole project is so cheesy and corny I laughed at everything. I admit The grudge 2 has it's moments, but in the finale it never goes anywhere. Overall, The grudge 2 is an unnecessary sequel that shouldn't have been remade just like the original.


Posted By: blairwitchasylum at 3:36pm, January 22, 2009

good sequel, gave me chills


Posted By: dabulk2 at 1:38am, January 20, 2009

The first Grudge movie was good, but the Grudge 2 was pretty terrible. Not really sure how it could've been worse. Bad story line and bad acting. Thumbs down.


Posted By: GRUDGE4life at 4:48pm, January 19, 2009

i didnt think it was possible but they made a better movie than the first!!! everyone else apparently has a problem with getting into the movie and whatching it for what it is not what you expected it to be... why would you rate a movie that you are going to tear appart? i dont like sesame street but that doesnt mean i go to their website and rag on them the whole time!


Posted By: slipknot611 at 8:54am, January 18, 2009

Wow, horrorking95, your review of this steaming pile of monkey crap was actually enough to make me register onto the site. I have gotta know what you were smoking when you saw this movie, I might need some later. I was an actual fan of the original movie, but the story on this one was so jacked, by the end of the movie I could only scratch my head and wonder why I'd sat through the whole thing. The only thing scary about The Grudge 2 is that a studio put up money to get it made and that they actually got Jennifer Beals to lower herself (okay, maybe that's too strong a word considering she hasn't had much of a career lately) to starring in this stinker. Half a skull merely for the hotties in it. NEXT!!!


Posted By: horrorking95 at 7:48am, January 18, 2009

WOAH! THis film is way too under rated! The first was brilliant, creepy and it actually scared me. This one is just as good! It is no better or worse than the first one, the atmosphere is still as creepy and eerie as ever and at night I found myself not going to sleep because i was frightened of the grudge lady coming for me! The only fault with this movie is the acting! But apart from that a fantastic horror!

The old guy on the bus was the best part of this entire movie. Nani Nani Naaa! Total crap, besides that.


Posted By: DBlock at 12:41am, September 28, 2008

In a word...... ridiculous.


Posted By: Repo!Screams at 10:09pm, September 27, 2008

This movie was, boring ...

and the best part was when the blonde chick pissed herself...


Why didn't BD write a review, I want to read what they think XD



Posted By: PromNight2008 at 4:13pm, August 18, 2008

Not the greatest, but I wouldn't say it's one of the worst ever. I really like Arielle Kebbell, so she kept my movie-watching experience somewhat tolerable, but aside from that it was nothing special.


Posted By: DiegOmen16 at 5:24pm, July 7, 2008

As perfect as the first.


Posted By: Domino19 at 3:58am, June 7, 2008

So damn boreing.


Posted By: imthecampkiller at 11:46pm, April 19, 2008

the first one was decent and scary at times this wasnt scary all the flipping through characters got on my nevers and now they might make a grudge 3? come on already stop trying to make money off crapie movies and on top of that why would i want a grudge 3(spoilers)

when the only person so far that they say is in it is that annoying little kid from this one god he should have just died



Posted By: ScreamFan at 4:34pm, April 6, 2008

The first one was great. I've loved Sarah Michelle Gellar since I watched Buffy, and the first Grudge was decent enough. But I can't even figure out what the fuck was going on in this film. It switched from Japan, to America, and between so many damn characters I couldn't help but laughing when (SPOILERS)




They all died.



Posted By: bunnyracer420 at 10:30am, March 31, 2008

Oh my god..the first one sucked so why make another??? why?

why waste the film?
