Movie review of grudge 2
Grudge was a decent movie it would have performed better if
it was released before “the ring” anyways so I got this movie probably more
interested about the story than the horror but I was terribly disappointed. The
director seems to have missed the plot quite literally anyways here is the
synopsis of the story.
It revolves
around the three separate storylines.It continues from the first part where
sarah michelle is in the hospital after her failed attempt to burn the
house.Her mother was informed about her condition who sends sarah’s sister to
look after her.when her sister (Aubrey davis) reaches there, she finds sarah in
a terrible emotional state .she is seeing images of kayako again and is killed
in the processs of escaping from her .Her sister then befriends a guy who is
researching the grudge cases.then we are introduced to three girls who goes to
the grudge house where they force the new student to enter the closet and shut
the door.this makes the ghost kayako to appear. They finally run away from the
house scared. Two of the school girls were murdered by “kayako” ghost and the
third one seeks the help of a doctor. then we follow a family in Chicago
where the small boy in the family sees “ toshio” the boy ghost and he has some
eerie experiences as well. In the end Aubrey visits the house to put a stop to
the ghost whre she has to undergo the same experiences as kayako did when she
was murdered by her husband and she sees
kayaka materializing before her.and the story stops there. Then in Chicago
things turn a little bit more eerie when the boy’s step mother kills his father
and her sister for no specific reason and then we have a surprise ending that’s
all .
There is absolutely no plot in this movie and the director
seems to be confused with how the movie should progress.we are just shown
bizarre events just for the thrill here and there , that’s all theres no story
(especially no progress from the first part) it just leaves us where we were at
the first part .
My final analysis
is that if you like to go for horror rides in amusement parks where they just
throw up scary faces here and there then you would like this movie .otherwise
theres nothing more to it.I heard that the original movie ju on:the grudge2
(Japanese version) had a different ending , probably he should have stuck with
that.
PS: The surprise ending is that the three stories are
happening at different time lines which makes this is a non linear format which
is getting popular these days but still it bores me out.
