Fair enough-maybe you would prefer Ju-On Old lady In White (2009)? which I've just seen-I absolutely adored it as much as I did Ju-on The Grudge 2 (which I enjoyed LOADS more on the second viewing as I also had a hard time with it the first time I watched it). It is shorter though, only an hour and wow they don't half cram a lot into that hour-not a second is wasted and it goes further into the sinister supernatural territory hinted at in Ju-on 2 plus it stands well by itself so you don't need to have seen all the other ones besides the original Ju-On-The Grudge which is referenced in one scene. Also it looks beyond 'the girl ghost with long black hair extensions' ripped off from Ringu that made the original movie less fresh and inventive as it could have been. This completely makes up for that and gives you a new ghost (amongst other things) to be scared of.
I still need to see Ju-On The Curse 1 and 2 and Ju-On The Gril In Black and excited about them :)
