    Storyline

    • 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 26 mins) When Trish enters Jake's room, the floor in front of him is empty, and the camera turns to face Trish. When it's put back on Jake there is some kind of sport equipment on the floor.
    • 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.

    Mundane
    Being a huge fan of the original Ju-On movies, as well as the original American remake, I was looking forward to this one. But my excitement dwindled right from the opening scene, as The Grudge 2 quickly became a predictable and mundane sequel. A typical American-ized sequel that sadly didn't follow the unique plot of Ju-On 2.

    After Sarah Michelle Gellar's cameo, the movie focuses on her sister, but gives her nothing to do. What seems like a totally separate storyline inside an apartment building is more distracting than involving. The scares become very routine and there are so many characters here, that the viewer cannot become attached to any of them.

    The movie does, however, kick it up in the final twenty minutes or so. And the ending is a lot darker and much more mean spirited than the original, and for that, it has to earn some points for not taking the safe way out.

    The Grudge 2 is not a complete loss, but it could have been so much better.
