Due to events in the previous film, the Saeki family grudge now haunts an American apartment building. Had Ju-On creator Takashi Shimizu been involved beyond his producer credit, this direct-to-video sequel could have at least stood a chance at being creative. Instead the plot suffers from too much rinse-and-repeat. From the recasting of Kayako and Toshio to yet another backstory add-on (in the form of Kayako's sister), it really is like beating a dead horse. The lights flicker, the spirits flop around like fish and characters take on personality traits of the fallen Saeki family. It's been done.
