The Grudge 2 finally scares itself
onto DVD that follows from the 2004 blockbuster that further delves into
the curse of this nefarious evil. Unlike the previous installment, the
evil in the original burned-down house in Tokyo has grown in power and
now whoever walks through the house, even though around them is affected
by the curse.
As with the previous movie, the
Grudge 2 features the story of several characters whose lives are
forever intertwined from the curse. With some great acting performances
by Amber Tamblyn and Takako Fuji, director Takashi Shimizu throws in
enough scares, turns and twists to really make you wonder just what on
Earth is happening.
Unfortunately this strange
storytelling will definitely not be everyone's cup of tea but if you
enjoyed the first installment of the Grudge, then you will definitely
enjoy the second. Recommended for those lovers of the first movie or for
those that want a different horror movie.
Brilliant video and audio quality
that boasts Dolby Digital 5.1 and 16:9 enhanced aspect ratio, the Grudge
II also features a plethora of special features that goes even deeper
behind the scenes.
