In Pasadena, Mrs. Davis sends her daughter Aubrey Davis to Tokyo to bring her sister Karen Davis, who is interned in a hospital after surviving a fire, back to the USA. After their meeting, Karen dies and Aubrey decides to investigate what happened to her and gets herself trapped in the same situation, being chased by the ghost of the house. Meanwhile in Tokyo, the three high school mates Allison, Vanessa and Miyuki visit the famous haunted house and are also chased by the ghost. In Chicago, Trish moves to the apartment of her boyfriend Bill, who lives with his children, the teenager Lacey and boy Jake. On the next door, weird things happen with their neighbor.

Talking about Allison in an interview from The Uninited:
I mean in Grudge 2, uh, I like to call her Ugly Allison. But poor little Allison, I mean, I was, it was, you know, I was supposed to be sort of the vulnerable girl that gets picked on in school.

• Sony Pictures green-lighted this sequel just three days after The Grudge (2004) was released.

• Director Takashi Shimizu went to Los Angeles to meet with producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi in a small office at Columbia Pictures. The purpose was to develop a story outline for the sequel’s first draft, which also involved employees from Tapert and Raimi’s production company Ghost House Pictures, producer Taka Ichise, and writer Stephen Susco. According to Tapert, the session was roughly seven or eight hours of people suggesting ideas for the story.

• To keep the mood on the set light, the actors and director would often joke around and attempt to frighten one another. This included a Karaoke session performed by Shimizu, Takashi on Kebbel, Arielle’s birthday.

• The role of Vanessa was originally written for Vanessa Lengies, who eventually turned it down to film “My Suicide”; the part still bares her name.

• Sony Pictures commissioned Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA to design a Haunt maze for its premiere in the month of October.

• On the “Columbia” logo screen before the feature, the standard logo appears normal for a moment, then the hair grows and the Columbia statuette turns to Kayako as the word “Columbia” changes to “Grudge 2″. The screen flashes for a moment as this happens.

• Goof – Crew or equipment visible: In the opening scene right before Audrey walks into the house, there’s a table lined with pictures and as the camera is passing by you can get a quick second-long glimpse of the camera as it passes.

• Goof – Continuity: When Audrey enters Eason’s dark room, she turns on the lights, but seconds later the light is red again.

• Goof – Continuity: When Trish enters Jake’s room, the floor in front of him is empty, and the camera turns to face Trish. When it’s put back on Jake there is some kind of sport equipment on the floor.

• Goof – Factual errors: When Aubrey goes into the dark room and picks up the picture, the picture should be black. It was in the developer last. It would have had to go into the stop bath to stop developing, and then the fixer to not go black when it was exposed to real light.

• Goof – Continuity: When the girl enters the phone booth the door is open, but when she turns around it is shut.

• Goof – Crew or equipment visible: When Vanessa at the office mobile phone calls by Kayako, she fears from voice of Kayako. You can see the ceiling move two microphones.

• Goof – Revealing mistakes: When reading the diary, the characters read the book left to right, like a book written in English. Japanese, when written in tategaki format (top to bottom) or yokogaki (left to right), still is opened and paged right to left. However, the characters correctly read the printed book in the same scene.
