Aroview: Followup to the original Japanese version of dir. Takashi's own JU-ON, this proffers an almost identical vision, with a TV crew visiting the house haunted by the deathly spirit, and getting offed, one by one.

Although applying similiar stylistic flair to a novel new set of killing scenarios, the fractured plot-structure never really coheres into the unnerving wholeness of its predecessor.
