Reviews
"Grudge 2 is such a complete rehash of its predecessor that it's likely that those who haven't seen the original (American or Japanese versions) will enjoy the sequel more than those who have." — Los Angeles Timeshttp://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-et-grudge16oct16,0,832528.story?coll=cl-movies-features
"It is a testament to the power of filmmaking that even a waste of time like Grudge 2 can raise a slew of interesting questions to keep you thinking for a long time after leaving the theater."
