A new family moves into the house where the last family was murdered, posessed and then was haunted the place themselves.
They also end up seeing deadly illusions by the ghosts of the family that lived there.
The family gets sick and behaves strangely when people who knew about the family before them tries to help them but the family refuses and one by one more residents end up disappearing as well as getting killed.
Suddenly the family turns into ghosts themselves.

There is only 45 minutes of new footage to this sequel as the rest was from the first film.
I seem to enjoy this one a bit better as there's more creepiness to the film.
Still the story ends too quickly.

The acting is still hard to understand as it's in Japanese but they seem to pull it off very well with their expressions and emotions to the posessions etc.

There's a bit of blood here and there but not over the top gory.

Takashi Shimizu shows a bit more effort with this one as he knew how to direct the family behaving strangely and acting sick from the posessions.
You'll flip when you see a normal housewife suddenly whacking her husband with a frying pan cause that's the least you expect to happen in the scene when it does happen.
Also suddenly some ghouls start invading a school which looks great too with the directors work involved.

Gary Ashiya and Shiro Sato delivers some the same synthesizer/violin sounds but somehow their work seems way more effective for this one but maybe it's just me.
