Ju-on 2 was nowhere as effective as its predecessor. It was creepy, sure - Japanese horror flicks are by default creepy - but it made even less sense than the first one, and it felt a bit lazy and not in the same league as
Ringu 2, which was a worthy follow-up. My last Hong Kong DVD shipment contained two more Japanese horror movies -
Kairo and
Uzumaki; don't know much about either of them - and a Korean thriller,
A Tale of Two Sisters. I'll try and get around to at least one of them this weekend.
On a completely unrelated (or at least completely coincidentally related) note, I'm off to China next week, and I'll be staying there through July. I will try and post as often as possible while I'm there. More later.
