Acclaimed director Takashi Shimizu and screenwriter Stephen Susco are back with The Grudge 2 and although this one isn't a remake of the original and really scary Ju-on 2 , unlike its predecessor, it manages to send chills down your spine. It's always messy when one is doing a sequel. The story has to be told differently, yet not too differently; it must please fans of the franchise and it must hook a new audience who shouldn't worry about renting the DVD to the first part. Here's where things get complicated.

Although the director does a good job with re-creating the creepy atmosphere replete with creepy clangs and blood curdling bangs, he fails to deliver a novel horror experience. Yes, there are the truly dark, disturbing moments like the girl who unexplainably starts drinking milk out of a half-gallon carton and then puking milk back into it or the ghostly image in a photograph that starts moving by itself. But the film soon treads the formula path and delves into the typical American horror format of storytelling that is completely reduced to non-stop, episodic chills, jarring 'jhatkas ' and isn't nearly as effective as a good ghost story.

I prepped myself for this by watching the unrated DVD of the previous film just a few short hours before heading to the theater, which, in hindsight, was probably a mistake. While the first film relied heavily on cheap scares and "gotcha" moments, the second toned it down a little and aimed at being a little more suspenseful. The end result is a chaotic mess with a convoluted storyline that weaves through time without ever indicating it slightly confusing at the start, as there is a two year difference between the events we see throughout the film, but I will refrain from spoilers.

The attempts at building suspense fall flat, as every significant event is telegraphed and, therefore, incredibly predictable even when you're not trying to think ahead of the film's pace. The kills themselves are far from satisfying, as they are simply more of the same that we saw the first time around.

I'm sorry, but even if you have never watched the Asian originals, the creepy girl with the hair in her face and the hitch in her step fails to frighten after two Ring films, Dark Water, Pulse, and, of course, the previous Grudge film. I had seriously hoped that Takashi Shimizu would bring some of his style to the film. Alas, we are the real victims here, not those portrayed on the screen, as we have to pay hard-earned dollars to witness yet another American Cinema read: Hollywood bastardization of a quality film.

When will they learn that the true appeal of Asian cinema lies not with the creepy girl and the cheap scare, but with the overall feel of the film? The "boo! Start your free trial.
