An American girl discovers her sister is being held in a Japanese hospital and is simultaneously under suspicion of arson/murder in which her boyfriend has died. She immediately goes to be at her sister's side but is intercepted by a journalist who informs her that her sister is being consumed by a dark force. At the same time, an American girl at an international school elsewhere in Tokyo is trying to get in with the school's top girls. She'll do anything to be accepted so when she's told to go into a mysterious burned-out house, she doesn't question it.Jake is living with his dad who has remarried quite soon after his mom's death, so the boy becomes sullen and withdrawn. He's easily drawn to a mysterious, equally withdrawn neighbour. (Universal Pictures UK)

A noticeable drop in quality from the first part, but the second Grudge is still an above-par ghost story. Not all the jump-scares are effective this time, the ghosts look terrifying only sometimes, and the feeling of dread from the first part doesn’t appear until the second half. We follow again three storylines that connect at the end, and one of those connections is actually surprising. My rating is somewhere between 50 and 60%
