The Grudge 2


I watched "The Grudge" (Hollywood remake) last year and thought it was quite good.

This, the sequel, was a bit of a shambles really. It started off okay, with a few scary moments that made me jump. About half way through though, it seemed to lose the plot a bit and just became funny.

A girl peeing because she was so frightened... Someone drinking milk, vomiting it back into the carton and drinking it again.... An old man on a bus playing peek-a-boo with no one.... A demented headteacher.... All absolutely hilarious (unintentionally of course), but these moments took away a lot of the tension.

The ending was a mess. Jumping from scene to scene so quickly it was hard to understand what the hell was going on. The acting was average.

I like horror films, and this was one I'm not sure if I would want to see again... unless I wanted a laugh, that is.

4/10

Yeah, I'd probably just give it a miss if I were you! :P
