    Storyline

    Edit
    In Pasadena, Mrs. Davis sends her daughter Aubrey Davis to Tokyo to bring her sister Karen Davis, who is interned in a hospital after surviving a fire, back to the USA. After their meeting, Karen dies and Aubrey decides to investigate what happened to her and gets herself trapped in the same situation, being chased by the ghost of the house. Meanwhile in Tokyo, the three high school mates Allison, Vanessa and Miyuki visit the famous haunted house and are also chased by the ghost. In Chicago, Trish moves to the apartment of her boyfriend Bill, who lives with his children, the teenager Lacey and boy Jake. On the next door, weird things happen with their neighbor. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sony Pictures greenlit this sequel just three days after The Grudge (2004) was theatrically released. The first film had already recouped its budget and made profit on its opening weekend alone, guaranteeing a sequel.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 8 mins) When Audrey enters Eason's dark room, she turns on the lights, but seconds later the light is red again.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Jake: It's all your fault! What did you do? What did you bring here?

      Allison: [shaking and sobbing] It followed me here. THEY followed me here!

    • Crazy credits
      The Torch Lady in the Columbia Pictures logo gets possessed by Kayako, causing the logo to flicker (during which the film title briefly appears) and go dark.
    • Alternate versions
      In the US, there is a PG-13 rated version of the film which was shown in theaters, and Takashi Shimizu's unrated director's cut of the film which was released on DVD, along with the PG-13 rated one.

    It's OK.
    Although the blue, black - haired ghost plot has been done, this film is enjoyable. People took things too seriously. I took this as a popcorn film. The acting could have been better with some characters. Sarah Michelle Gellar did a pretty good job, although she has little screen time. The effects and scares are most of the time pop - ups. The story is a bit messy and has too many things happening at the same time. Some moments are also rather stupid. There are pretty good scares throughout the whole film. I would recommend this film to all fans of the first. If your not a fan, don't see it; you'll most likely hate it.

    Rated PG - 13 for mature thematic material, disturbing images/terror/violence, and some sensuality
