The Grudge 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: International High School, Tokyo, Japan

The plot starts with three girls leaving the International High School, on their way to check out Kayako's house. The school name is subtitled in when the girls start leaving the school. It doesn't sound like a real school name.

Answer: The two girls get scared and run, leaving Allison behind.

Allison gets locked in the closet by Kayako and the others get scared and run, leaving Allison behind. Allison eventually gets out and runs off too (I guess Kayako let her go). I was expecting a little more action here in the beginning but the girls escape, seemingly unharmed.

Answer: a journalist

Edison Chen, who plays the Japanese journalist, is a star from Hong Kong. At first he hesitantly introduces himself as a journalist and comes off a little mysterious. You're not sure what to think of him, or where he really comes from, but as the movie goes on it becomes more obvious that he's just someone trying to figure out what's going on.

Answer: Allison is in hiding at a neighbor's apartment.

This answer is not realized until near the end of the movie, when Allison is revealed as the mystery woman. Allison's curse from Kayako has spread to the neighboring apartment units, including Trish's apartment.
I didn't immediately place my finger on it but I soon realized that Trish is played by Jennifer Beals who, many years ago, played the lead role of the struggling dancer in "Flashdance".

Answer: Her boyfriend is in the shower.

While her boyfriend is preoccupied in the shower, Miyuki lollygags around on the bed. Kayako attacks her from under the sheets and pulls her into the mirror. He comes out of the bathroom and Miyuki's nowhere to be found. A similar kind of attack happens in the first "Grudge" movie. I wasn't all that spooked.

Answer: Jake hides while the woman leaves and the scene ends.

Most horror flicks build up to the scare and keep you guessing with false alarms. It's quite surprising to see Kayako and Toshio appear in just about every scene. This is one of the few scenes in this movie that ends without some kind of ghostly end or climax.

The woman hears something but doesn't see Jake. After she is done getting some newspaper, she turns once again but just leaves with Jake in hiding.

Answer: Aubrey is taking a nap.

Aubrey is at Eason's place and Eason offers Aubrey some tea. Aubrey appears exhausted and falls asleep. Eason goes to the developing room to check out some picture and is attacked by Kayako while Aubrey takes a nap. I was waiting for Aubrey to eventually wake up and save Eason but I guess they just needed to kill off Eason. This is one of the many scary attack scenes.

Answer: Information from Eason's friend

Aubrey finds out about Kayako's mother after talking with Eason's friend, who knows about folklore. They first look through some old books but apparently Eason's friend knows about Kayako's story and Eason translates to Aubrey. I just mention the old man on the bus here because he was more amusing rather than scary.

Answer: Aubrey doesn't really see what happens.

Kayako's mother tells Aubrey that there's no way to stop the evil going on with her daughter. Soon after, while they're talking, the mother's sight blurs and Kayako appears. I'm not sure how the mother dies. Kayako attacks her right in front of Aubrey but she just doesn't see what's going on. I was hoping for something with a little more realism here.

Answer: They all fall victim to Kayako.

The two other girls get killed by Kayako; one dies in the hotel room and the other in the phone booth. Allison is the only one to leave Japan and come to America. Kayako eventually gets her at the end of the movie while she's out of her room. I guess Kayako made the trip to America.
