Ju-on: The Grudge 2

Boring and stupid.

Didn't feel this at all -stilted and uninteresting- so ditched it, I'll give the remake a look sometime though.

Largely the same as the first film. Some of the episodes have creepy imagery, but they all follow the exact same pattern until it just gets boring. The overall story arc is pretty flimsy and there seems to be no progression from the first film. I also dislike the fact that the "grudge" seems to have no reason for killing the people it does. Just because they went in the house? I'd hate to be the estate agent trying to sell that place.
