Review of Ju-On: The Grudge 2

I found this even more confusing (and even less frightening) than the first Grudge film, with which it shares many features: The same lack of coherent plot (again I had to refer to the synopsis (above) to find out what the film's actually about), the same white-faced children, the same girl from The Ring (nice effect the first time I saw it, getting a bit passé now), same pools of water (ooh, scary, scary water), same silly hairpiece dragging itself across the floor (couldn't the characters just squash the thing with a heavy book or something?). Not scary in the slightest: would probably have been better billed as a light comedy, or a soporific.
