Chakushin ari 2 is a worthy addition to the One Missed Call franchise. It has a strong sense of narrative that drives the film, with enough twists to thwart the viewer when he thinks he already sees what's to come next. Certain scenes offer up subtle but truthful commentaries regarding man's mediated communication through technology, man's mediated relationships, and the obvious message of the first--abuse spawns more abuse.This sequel is as good as the first in its attempt to create a world all too real and similar to our own yet with its own quirks and rules that gives possible space for the supernatural narrative. There may be times when the film lags with certain scenes that stay too long on screen but the general idea is one worth watching, not to mention the killer ending! :)

This movie is not as good As the 1st, but still very good Sequel. i would Say this is the Worst one out of the Trilogy.The Plot One Missed Call 2 introduces us to Kyoko and her friend Madoka. Both women are teaching assistants at a kindergarten in the middle of Tokyo and when the pair aren't working, they seem to spend a lot of time in a Chinese restaurant where Kyoko's boyfriend, Naoto, works. It is here that Kyoko first encounters the cursed ring tone.While enjoying a night out with friends at a Chinese restaurant, Kyoko receives an eerie call, but strangely, instead of dying three days later, tragedy strikes almost immediately and not to Kyoko directly. Since one of the deaths in the original film occurred on television, both Kyoko and Naoto are familiar with the urban legend and find themselves at a loss as to how to solve the problem. Luckily for them, a plucky journalist named Takako ) is on the case, enlisting the help of Detective Motomiya (a returning Renji Ishibashi) who's pieced together quite a bit about how the curse works.I Can't tell you too much about this because, it will Ruin the movie as there are few Twist and Turns, Which are really confusing at times and You will need to re- watch this movie, more than once to understand it.And finally - This is a good Sequel, as it had some really good Creepy scene in this movie.What i didn't like in this movie was the Twist, They are really Confusing, it hard to understand what going on and acting was On and Off in some place, Few people are lazy in some scenes but most of time they can act .i Rate this movie 5 out 10

I was skeptical to Miikes entry to the ringu craze and this is a sequel made by an unknown director. No surprise then that this doesn't hold up.The plot is a mystery to me and the buildup is weird. After jumping right into the action from the beginning with many "accidents" connected loosely through a particular ring tone it uses most part of the movie to explain the previous one (a often used tactic in sequels) and ends up boring in the end. Not that it was too exciting in the first place.The taiwanese-Japanese sounded funny though (language wise). I wonder what the kids feel about the ring-tone, if they would be terrified to hear it now even after this dread.

Japanese horror, like any other cinema industry, has it's duds. Ju-on the Curse 2 (TV), Dead Waves, Gozu, Shikoku, and the entire Tomie series qualify as disappointments, just to name a few. As a fan of East Asian horror, I demand good entertainment by the industry, and have no problem lambasting a crappy movie when I see one. Fortunately, One Missed Call 2 is not an utter disappointment, as some on IMDb have claimed. Unlike my other comments, this review will be short and sweet.The storyline is more complex and intricate than the original. Multiple supernatural elements and threats are introduced and the structure of the plot is more like a mystery, which keeps the viewer off balance and engaged at the same time. I actually needed a pad and pen to jot down notes because there was a lot of relationships and events to keep track of. If anything else, One Missed Call 2 is not easily predictable, and that is a good thing. Also, the technical quality is solid. Good cinematography, acting, and lighting.One negative is that the movie drags a bit in the middle and is not quite as scary as the original. The filmmakers should have added one or two entertaining kills during the middle half hour. That would have made this one as good as the original. In it's current state, however, it is less entertaining to a degree – but still entertaining nonetheless.I can't see how people can complain about One Missed Call 2 when they are constantly peppered by the sheer idiocy and low quality tripe dished out by Hollywood. Sure, this film is not as good as Kairo or as original as Tetsuo, but it's MUCH better than Hostel, Silent Hill, The Hills Have Eyes, or The Devil's Rejects, just to name a few.So if you liked the first one, give this one a try. Remember, even the most formulaic horror films from Japan are still better than your average American slasher.
