Convinced?
I recommend first going to a local used DVD store. They usually have a cheap copy that is in good condition!

However, if you're looking to buy online, here are some links:

WARNING: Take extra caution when buying DVDs from eBay and third party Amazon sellers. There ARE bootleggers out there. So, do your research, check seller feedback, and just say NO to bootlegs.

Ebay: http://catalog.ebay.com/Ju-On-2-DVD-2006-/54943960?_dmpt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ra...
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Ju--2-Makoto-Ashikawa/dp/B000H0M4CK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&...

You can also check out retail stores & their websites (Best Buy, WalMart, etc.). Generally, they're a little more expensive than used, or on eBay or Amazon, but you also gain solace in knowing you will be receiving a genuine copy of the movie, and not a bootleg.

I like all the Ju-on,Grudge movies and i have them all exept the american part 3.

Good review! Enjoyed it!

[ViolinVeins]

@Heavymetalrille I wouldn't bother with the third. I mean if you want the whole series, go for it, but it really was awful. Haha. Thanks for dropping by my friend! :) Take care over there!

[SpannersGerm669]

Great review mate! I havent seen Ju-on 2 but i loved the first one. Unfortunately sequels rarely meet the standard as the first, so thats why i dont usually go for sequels.

A lot of time and effort has gone into this review and it shows from the end result. Very very well done :) Im going to enjoy watching your future reviews :)

[ViolinVeins]

@SpannersGerm669 Yeah, I try not to, but I'm a sucker for series X).

TOO much time. haha. Took me a month to finally get out. Thanks so much! And that's the goal. :D Thanks for stopping by, Adam, always a pleasure to hear from you! Have a wonderful day/evening? haha. I need to get this straight...evening I think.

[marveldc456]

u should review The (US) Grudge 1, 2, &3

[ViolinVeins]

@marveldc456 Actually, I have a friend here on Youtube that plans to review them soon and they should be video responses on this video, so check back here at some point! :) Thanks for stopping by!

The ending scene in the hospital where she crawls out of....you know....(not gonna spoil anything) was the most "WTF scare" moment ive ever seen in any horror movie.

If anyones seen it, they know what im talking about.

[RickbloggerTv]

you got some nice eyes by the way :)

[t0036028c]

There is gore factor! I'm quite disturbed to see the bloody puddle, the wig transforming into kayako, kayako dying in a bloody plastic bag and the most disgusting is kyoko giving birth to a full size kayako. I will give it a 5.5 out of 10 marks.

[turquoiseguy]

I don't know why, but I just can't stand special effects in movies. They are okay if used correctly and minimally, but when they are used excessively, and especially when they are not so good, they ruin what could be a good scene. Most scenes I find in horror movies that overdo the special effects could have easily done without them and been far creepier. Really great review, though, I subscribed!

[NibTV1]

Ju On Black Ghost/ White Ghost perhap for the next review (it's meant as a spiritual sequel to the grudge.)

[mugge121]

You didn't think Takako Fuji's (Kayako) performance was any good. D: I thought she did good.

[EToastE]

You should watch/review the newest Ju-on movies, Ju-On Shiroi Roujo and Ju-On Kuroi Shoujo. They are usually paired together. I found them done much better than the other movies.

[xaxNAGATOxax]

u r really hot and u make great reviews!!!
