possible spoiler there be no sence compare this film with the first one they be completely different movie . the first movie be an exercise in horror and scaredthe crap out of me and the sequel ( although there be a number of scary scene and when they see the manifestation of sadako and her mother for example ) be more of a thriller come mystery movie . the only really major disappointment in this movie be how sadako be manifest and in the first she be a faceless unstoppable force but in the sequel ( except the scene in the well when she be quite literally faceless ) she be portrade a a normallish girl . just a disapointment .
