This film effectively builds tension and utilizes its cultural setting to deliver scares, drawing upon Japanese folklore and urban legends to enhance the horror experience. The found-footage format adds to the film's realism and immersion, maintaining a steady pace as the supernatural events unfold. The siblings and their relationships with other characters feel so authentic that you can't help but believe they are indeed related even outside the confines of the film. Although the sequel may suffer from a lack of originality, while potentially perpetuating cultural stereotypes, it remains a decent add-on to the franchise, with chilling moments and a unique cultural perspective on the horror genre.
