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.
