the first film ju on represent the grudge and be personally one of the scary film i have see so i have high expectation of the sequel . i be sadly disappointed . ju on represent the grudge 2 really be a pointless exercise in film making and that start off poorly and barely keep it head above water in the middle and completely fall apart in the final third and it appear that the good idea be use in the first film . sure you can get away with a lot in the world of horror but too many of the plot twist be just comically absurd and the whole chiharu sub plot be completely irrelevant to anything else in the film and do not need to be there . the whole rebirth concept remind me a lot of the first ringu sequel ( rasen ) and guess what and it do not really work for that series either but i do think that one it own rasen be a good film than grudge 2 .
