The Locker 2/Shibuya kaidan 2 (2004)

- written December 2006

Summary: Seconds before Rieka dies, she gives the key to the coin locker to her student, Ayano who she had been tutoring. Ever the curious girl, Ayano decides to go get a look, even with the knowledge of how many deaths there have been. But this time, a few of her classmates find their way to the very same locker. Maybe Ayano and her past with her parents hold the secret to ending the curse once and for all.           Overall: If ever a sequel was better than the original, this is it. A scarier film with better acting and better storyline. This time at least they put more footage about the original urban legend of making good wishes to the locker. Not sure though I bought the casting of the doctor. By the end of the film, him swinging the gold club was a little too “samurai” for me...he looked too good swinging it around that I had issues buying the lonely doctor caring for his dead assistant. But if you rent one of these, easily grab the 2nd film...hell it recaps part 1 anyway!           Comparison: The Locker meets The Grudge 2
