Mai, the older sister of elementary schoolteacher Yui Shono, goes to look for her sister, who disappeared after a year while working in an elementary school. Mai soon discovers the Teriyaki household who tells her about what happened to her sister. Mai will now uncover the dark secrets of Ju-on and will try to end the curse once and for all. I'm sure that Japan can make better movies if they actually try a little bit unfortunately this Franchise is probably getting worse and worse with each installment and somehow they seem of never stopping either somehow. (F)
I truly wished this would be the first ju on movie I watched because it would scare me the entire hour and a half. But damn, because I watched all of them I see it is just a remake of the previews ones. Honestly, nothing really new, yeah the story isn't entirely the same but everything else is. I also did't get those famous goosebumps like with the first one. Come on Japan, try something new, this stuff has been done so many times, and yeah, you people put something very original on the screens so many years ago, try something new!I really hope we all will something original again from our Japanese friends because I know they can!
(WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD) First of all i would like to say to the creators and the producers of this film "Well Done!!". It may be repetitive for some fans but for other fans it might be awesome. I would have liked it even more if the trailer of this film didn't show the last seconds of the ending when Mai sees her sister Yui but then she realizes its Kayako and if they didn't show the ending on the trailer then the film on this page would have gotten higher ratings. But again, I would like to say that the film is great and in my opinion was successful enough to get more viewers like it adds more atmosphere like its really bright when everything is good and when its really blue meaning that something bad is happeningWhat I Struggled With While I Was Seeing The Film - Some scenes were really dark for me to see so i couldn't see clearly what was going on.What Went Well - I really liked how the sound effects suited well with all the minor jump scares also when the suspense builds up before a minor jump scare occurs. And also i loved the atmosphere. So that is what i think of the movie and well that's it.
I watched this movie last night and I have finally seen the entire Ju-on franchise. It is without a doubt the scariest horror franchise there is. There are 11 movies in total, 8 Japanese ones and 3 American ones. A 12th movie in 4D, which is a cross-over with the famous Ringu franchise, is set to be released in July in Japan.As far as the Ju-on storyline goes, this is the first sequel to the Ju-on reboot from 2014 and it is a quite a good effort, if you look past the repetitive nature of the movies. What is clear about this movie from the first few minutes of the movie, is that this movie has a lot of jump scares as opposed to its Japanese predecessors. It has almost completely abandoned its reliance on atmosphere, but it's still there to be found. However, it doesn't exploit these moments like Western cinema does, which is a good thing.Due to the fact that there have been so many Ju-on movies, I didn't think this movie was as scary or frightening as the other movies were. There is something called over-exposure which leads to desensitization. The scares were pretty good in this but none of them got to me, unfortunately.Definitely avoid the trailer if possible, as a part of it shows you the last seconds of the movie. Had this not happened, the ending would've been more terrifying.Hopefully Kayako Vs Sadako will be filled with plenty of atmosphere like the previous Ju-on movies were instead of having to rely on jump scares.
