It
would seem - at least from watching Japanese horror films from the past
decade or so - the culture is infected with demons invoked from numerous
curses. One such demon is Kayako (introduced in the GRUDGE
(JU-ON) franchise) and Kayako inhabits a haunted house, attacking
those who enter. Another powerful demon is Sadako (from RING)
and she levels a death curse to anyone who watches her video clip. Fortunately,
to enjoy this 'sequel,' that's really all the information the
viewer needs to know. Two girls, one of whom is cursed by Sadako, figure
that the only way to survive is to pit the two demons against each other.
This - of course - leads to a major showdown.
Director
Shiraishi is considered Japan's foremost horror director, responsible
for 25+ films in slightly over 10 years, including JU-REI
(his first in 2004) as well as NOROI:
CURSE, SLIT-MOUTH
WOMAN (CARVED),GROTESQUE
(et al). He was a good choice for this powerful confrontation.
