Students discuss various urban legends at Seian University, among which are the cursed video tape. Two students accidentally discover the tape and freak out as the previous viewers had died. They consult their professor who is excited about the tape and wants to meet Sadako, the Ring girl with the long hair. Meanwhile is a subplot, a house is haunted by Kayako, the Juon/Grudge double jointed kid.
How they get these two demons/spirits to fight would be a plot spoiler revealed at about an hour into the film...and I still have my reservations. Of course my biggest question mark about all these exorcism films going all the way back to the original is the ending. A demon possesses someone and the priest then takes the demon inside himself and does the suicide thing. Demon dies too. Why exactly does a spiritual/metaphysical demon end when the host dies? Right before the priest hits the ground... go back to someone else. It is a distance thing like a six cubit rule? Who is making these silly rules up and why does everyone follow them? The film was not as good as the originals. Jump scares were ineffective. The wise guy exorcist was the highlight of the film and added a smile element to the feature.
Guide: No swearing, sex, nudity or cute school uniforms
