About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn Japanese ghost sequel that expands the curse’s mystery with a more intense, sometimes talky approach; Not for you if you need constant scares or clear answers like in Dark Water.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; intriguing mystery threads; strong returning cast | Cons: slow and talky; uneven scares; confusing explanations
