  • Good.. but there are better...

    Grudge II has some genuinely spine tingling moments that really do have a horror factor about them, and it is much more of a film than Grudge I, however the storyline is paper thin, and there are better out there. I would say see it, but don't have it right at the top of your list.

  • Should have left it after the 1st film, did not think it was very good

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    Not as good as the first film, which in itself was not as good as I was expecting. Should have left it after the first one really.

    Some of the acting was not entirely believable from the start. I got a little bored and though it was quite startling in places, there are other films I would rather recommend.

    Waste of a credit this one. Boring and not the slightest bit scary. Predictable and pointless leave well alone.If you like a good horror look elsewhere.

    Takashi Shimizu once again tries to American-ise his Grudge franchise, but this time to greater effect. The first re-make was always going to suffer from the fragmented timeline of the original but this film is allowed to follow a natural path and is scarier for it.

    In this film, we once again see Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) but are allowed to become involved with the other characters as well. This involvement helps to build that sense of dread that is so often lacking in the American re-makes of Japanese films. It's the fear that you can't get away from whatever it is that's after you.

    The film may have lost its subtletly but manages to hang on to its purpose and a good few scares along the way. If you liked the first re-make then I'd definitely give it a go.

    Ok it's not as creepy as the first one (well not for me anyway) but I like the story, and the way they are done is very good. I have to confess I have never seen the original grudge but so far I like these versions and look forward to watching the 3rd one. If you liked the first one then give this a look, I wasn't disappointed!!!
