Description:
Tragedy strikes when Kyoko is in a car crash losing her boyfriend and having a miscarriage. But soon after the accident, Kyoko still feels something moving inside her. Feeling something still moving within her, she visits her doctor. To her surprise, he assures her that she is definitely still pregnant...but with what?

Amazon.com:
Takashi Shimizu's inexhaustible obsession with the Ju-on franchise finds a creepy outlet in Ju-on 2, which by most accounts is actually the fourth Japanese feature in the bunch. It returns to the style and structure that made Ju-on: The Grudge such an unnerving experience: the child demon with the blue face, the clicking/croaking that accompanies the appearances of the female ghost, the chockablock chronology that treats each haunting as a jigsaw piece to fit together into the whole. The plot follows an actress (Noriko Sakai), known as the "horror queen" of movies, as she deals with the repercussions of a car accident in which she loses her pregnancy. Or does she? Pregnant or not, the idea of going with a small film crew to the very haunted house where the unpleasantness of the original took place is probably not a healthy idea. Some of the scares still work just fine if you're watching this movie with the lights out, but the feeling of discovery, in the wake of the original Ju-on, the Ring films, and the Hollywood sequels, has definitely worn off by now. Thus the unshakable feeling that Shimizu is going through the paces with this one, rather than expanding on a pretty nifty original idea. --Robert Horton

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Japanese must have some unnatural fear of childbirth.
That's the only conclusion I could come to when I finished watching this film. First off, let me start by saying that the American sequel is NOTHING like the original sequel. This sequel picks up with Yoshimi Kitada and her husband. They're traveling down the road after she had done a show where she'd been labeled as the Japanese horror queen(she had just come from the grudge house). She and her husband are discussing when she'll tell his parents that she's pregnant. Just then, he hits a black ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Part 1 was good, this one Sucks!!
The makers of this movie must have thought we were stupid!!
Part 2 had nothing to do with part 1!!
This one I would say don't waste your money!!
I rate this movie a 2 from 1to10!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - eh i dunno
Not as good as I thought it was. The first JU-ON is an original, this one reminds me so much of the american remake. This is worth a watch, but not a buy, I feel i kind of wasted my money on it, but whatever. Rent it, if you like it enough, buy it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than The Grudge
If you are tired of the American rip-offs of Asian horror movies, or not sure of the difference. This is the movie to make it perfectly clear...as is Preminition! I absolutely horror movies and no one does it better Ashikawa! Hope you enjoy this and Ju-On 1 as much as I do.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Little Boy Blue
Japan is not a place that calls for great originality in cinema. After all, this is the country that made 26 films in the Zatoichi series and 48 in the Tora san series, all with the same actors and essentially the same plot. Even with the phenomena of what is usually called J-Horror, most Western audiences don't realize that this is nothing new or ground-breaking, but that they have only just discovered a cinematic style and tradition that has been going on virtually unchanged for decades. The classic ... Read More
