Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

adonis98-743-186503 On his request, the sensitive sister of a real estate agent visits a house he intends to put on sell, only to cross paths with its resident curse. Ju-On 2 isn't any good as the original but it's also pretty bland and even worse? just boring to say the least. This movies somehow keep getting made for some reason from japanese remake to japanese remake, to american remakes and even short films and some dumb films that tied up with The Ring for some reason as well. If you enjoy this movies see this as well but if not? Do not even try to see any of those movies. (0/10)

atinder Juon the curse Part 2This movie start off were the first one left off, after he sold the house his family now is effect by the curse.I did not find this movie scary or creepy at all, i found some scene very strange and odd and there few scene that meant to be scary, I could not help but laugh and found those scene way to silly, the way they made her running crawling was ridiculous. This movie was very disappointing, no were near as good as first or Ju-on- The Grudge 1 and 2I going give this movie 3 out of 10

Catharina_Sweden This movie was a little disappointing, because it was not so good as the first movie, "The Grudge". A lot of ideas from "The Grudge" are also repeated here, so you know what to expect beforehand. It feels as if the producers are trying to suck the last marrow out of the first movie's popularity... and I think that is very bad! Also, my impression is that this movie is more low-budget, more amateurish, and with no such really good actors as those who played the American (English?) college teacher, and the inspector, in "The Grudge".Furthermore, it was very confusing, and I am not sure I understood what happened to all the people living in the house. This confusion might be a matter of inadequate translation, though, because there is some Japanese text that I believe is vital to the story, but which is not translated. For example the addresses on the envelopes, when the real estate agent enters the house and finds them inside the door...Still, it has it scares... My heart is still thumping loudly, and I have goose bumps... and I will be very afraid to turn out the lights in my bed-room! :-)

CJGlowacki So you sat through the first "Ju-On : The Curse" and thought it was pretty creepy. Your only complaint was that the ending left you confused and wanting more. Well, be careful what you wish for because here we have "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" and it may leave you wanting less.For whatever reason, "Ju-On 2" starts off with teacher Shunsuke Kobayashi visiting the home of one of his students. It appears Toshio hasn't shown up in a while. Sound familiar? It should. Because for the first 30 minutes, you are simply watching the last 30 minutes of the first "Ju-On" - shot for shot.But the real question here is how does this supposed sequel stand up against the original. Well, for starters, it is less confusing. Once you move into the new footage, the movie stays in a linear time frame right up until the end. It even helps in explaining some of the more confusing elements from the first movie. As for the scares, you get more of the same here and this only serves to make them less effective. When we first saw a ghostly Kayko crawling around in the original, it was totally unexpected and genuinely creepy. However, in the sequel, you would've thought she'd entered the walking stage by now ala a toddler. But no, she's still hugging the ground and moving slower George Romero's dead.And here is one aspect of these movies, particularly this one, that I find curious. When approached by these ghosts, every character seems to be frightened to the point of where they can no longer at even the most basic level. Running away? Out of the question. Walking away? I don't think so. Screaming for help? Only if you can stop your whimpering to belt one out. For the most part, these scenes do work, and are punctuated with some incredibly effective jump cuts. But there are times when watching a man slowly crawl away from an even slower ghost just seems plain silly.So, with all that being said, should you give "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" a look? Absolutely - but only if you can somehow seamlessly merge the two movies together and cut out the half hour of repetition.Rating for "Ju-On : The Curse" [on a 5 star system] : 3 1/2 starsRating for "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" [on a 5 star system] : 2 1/2 starsRating for both movies combined as one [on a 5 star system] : 3 1/2 stars
