Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

adonis98-743-186503 On his request, the sensitive sister of a real estate agent visits a house he intends to put on sell, only to cross paths with its resident curse. Ju-On 2 isn't any good as the original but it's also pretty bland and even worse? just boring to say the least. This movies somehow keep getting made for some reason from japanese remake to japanese remake, to american remakes and even short films and some dumb films that tied up with The Ring for some reason as well. If you enjoy this movies see this as well but if not? Do not even try to see any of those movies. (0/10)

atinder Juon the curse Part 2This movie start off were the first one left off, after he sold the house his family now is effect by the curse.I did not find this movie scary or creepy at all, i found some scene very strange and odd and there few scene that meant to be scary, I could not help but laugh and found those scene way to silly, the way they made her running crawling was ridiculous. This movie was very disappointing, no were near as good as first or Ju-on- The Grudge 1 and 2I going give this movie 3 out of 10

CJGlowacki So you sat through the first "Ju-On : The Curse" and thought it was pretty creepy. Your only complaint was that the ending left you confused and wanting more. Well, be careful what you wish for because here we have "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" and it may leave you wanting less.For whatever reason, "Ju-On 2" starts off with teacher Shunsuke Kobayashi visiting the home of one of his students. It appears Toshio hasn't shown up in a while. Sound familiar? It should. Because for the first 30 minutes, you are simply watching the last 30 minutes of the first "Ju-On" - shot for shot.But the real question here is how does this supposed sequel stand up against the original. Well, for starters, it is less confusing. Once you move into the new footage, the movie stays in a linear time frame right up until the end. It even helps in explaining some of the more confusing elements from the first movie. As for the scares, you get more of the same here and this only serves to make them less effective. When we first saw a ghostly Kayko crawling around in the original, it was totally unexpected and genuinely creepy. However, in the sequel, you would've thought she'd entered the walking stage by now ala a toddler. But no, she's still hugging the ground and moving slower George Romero's dead.And here is one aspect of these movies, particularly this one, that I find curious. When approached by these ghosts, every character seems to be frightened to the point of where they can no longer at even the most basic level. Running away? Out of the question. Walking away? I don't think so. Screaming for help? Only if you can stop your whimpering to belt one out. For the most part, these scenes do work, and are punctuated with some incredibly effective jump cuts. But there are times when watching a man slowly crawl away from an even slower ghost just seems plain silly.So, with all that being said, should you give "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" a look? Absolutely - but only if you can somehow seamlessly merge the two movies together and cut out the half hour of repetition.Rating for "Ju-On : The Curse" [on a 5 star system] : 3 1/2 starsRating for "Ju-On 2 : The Curse" [on a 5 star system] : 2 1/2 starsRating for both movies combined as one [on a 5 star system] : 3 1/2 stars

carmstro It's been over a year since I started searching for copies of the JU-ON films, and thanks to a few wild dealings with proxy bidding services for Japanese auction sites I was able to track down a copy of part 2. It was well worth the effort!Although the copy of JU-ON 2 I viewed did not have an english-language option, a skeletal understanding of the story was easily discerned and was all that was needed to enjoy the proceedings. The film is a series of lightly-connected vignettes about the various inhabitants of a cursed apartment and the myriad of horrible fates that befall them.After my initial viewing, I felt the film started very slowly and didn't really offer much until its final 20 minutes. The second time around however, I really found myself drawn in from the get-go. While the last 20 minutes do pack the strongest punch, the first 50 minutes build on each other quite well and set you up for what amounts to multiple drop-kicks to your psyche in the final sections. Director Takashi Shimizu conjures up some of the most frightening images yours truly, a fear film vet and the sort of person who scares none too easily, has EVER seen.I recommend this film highly, and wish you luck in tracking down a copy. As for me, I'm off to find the original JU-ON...
