A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.

Critics Consensus

A diminished sequel that makes even less sense than The Grudge 1.

1/5

Japanese director Shimizu may be the only director in history to have helmed a pair of Hollywood remakes of his two biggest hit films and managed to screw up both of them.

3/5

Low calorie horror, it's propped up by set-piece shocks familiar from any of the other five incarnations of Ju-On: The Grudge.

3.5/4

If you're in the mood for a good scary movie - one that mixes old fashioned frights with a novel storytelling approach - you need look no further than "The Grudge 2."

.5/4

Takashi Shimizu telegraphs scares to the point of numbness. Peek under a table? There's the boy! The room a bit too quiet, is it? It's the girl! All that's frightening are the actors' pained facial expressions, suggesting an epidemic of farty indigestion.

It's a random series of attempted frights that fails at every turn.

An okay sequel, but you didn't need to make Aubrey's friends Grudges.

A very.... slow pace

Aug 26, 2018

Grudge 2 does a really good job at scaring its audiences and with amazing acting from Amber Tamblyn, Edison Chen, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Takako FujI, Ohga Tanaka and the rest of the cast...comes a terrifying and smart Japanese ghost story. We owe a huge thanks to director Takashi Shimizu for making such scary movies for us to watch and enjoy and for Takako Fuji for her excellent performance as the evil ghost in all 6 Ju-on films respectively.

What the hell were they thinking. This movie was not only bad, it was laughably bad. I don't even have much more to say. The first one was so terrifying, and I just cannot believe that they f*cked this up like they did. Its almost like no effort was put into making this coherent or scary.
