The Grudge 2 (2006)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 3/08

3/08: There should be a felony charge for making a pointless sequel, and that's what happened for The Grudge 2.

Although the first half looks somewhat fresher than the original, the second half goes back to the basics, undermining the film as a whole.

Once again, the plot isn't the central focus but the series of cheap scare-'em moments that is. The franchise will only die if the studio fails to rake in money from the sequels. To make it happen is not to purchase a ticket or a DVD copy.

All in all, just like the original, there's nothing new to discover in The Grudge 2.
