The followup to the shocking and original TV movie that shocked Japan and drew critical acclaim. Taking the classic idea of a haunted house story and flipping it on its head, director, Shimizu weaves a vengeful tale about a family whose own demise was filled with so much ire and hate, an unforgiving grudge manifested and was unleashed upon the world. While the concept may seem similar to another Japanese masterpiece about vindictive curses, the execution is a reinvention of classic tactics and storytelling sensibilities recognized in the horror genre.
