      Critics Consensus

      A diminished sequel that makes even less sense than The Grudge 1.

      Gianvito A Not as good as the first one but still a good movie. I confirm 2 things: 1) I don't understand the hate 2) Kayako Saeki scares me Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review steve d A poor imitation of the dumb original. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has a cool character but it is boring. The killer only kills after some time and between the killing scenes, it is boring. It would be a lot better with jumpscares, more killing scenes and a lot more stuff between the killer scenes instead of talking and other boring stuff. It jumped scared only 1 time but the rest of the scenes with the Grudge is not scary. The characters in the movie are stupid and they always fall down, at least making it a little realistic for their reactions. This movie is stupid. I rate this 4/10 (Okay). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review marco b This film is badly made, is more laughable than scary and really is the weakest entry in the series. Overall, I'd say it's probably not worth a watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Yep, this was kind of bad. The plot was all over the place and left you confused and grasping for information, in a bad way. Also, it was essentially the first movie but with more characters and less scary parts. Some moments were kind of creepy, but the actual "jump scares" were cheap and kind of goofy. No movie was better than a sequel, apparently. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review robert p Based on Japanese film done so much better this one is horrible!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Rated: 1/5 May 13, 2009 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Repetition is the death of horror. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Japanese director Shimizu may be the only director in history to have helmed a pair of Hollywood remakes of his two biggest hit films and managed to screw up both of them. Rated: 1/5 Oct 30, 2006 Full Review Matthew Rozsa matthewrozsa.com If you're in the mood for a good scary movie - one that mixes old fashioned frights with a novel storytelling approach - you need look no further than "The Grudge 2." Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 3, 2021 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Takashi Shimizu telegraphs scares to the point of numbness. Peek under a table? There's the boy! The room a bit too quiet, is it? It's the girl! All that's frightening are the actors' pained facial expressions, suggesting an epidemic of farty indigestion. Rated: .5/4 Sep 25, 2010 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's a random series of attempted frights that fails at every turn. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
