The Rope Curse 2 (2020) User Reviews

Lynched?!

[Stanlee107 · 4/10 · 27 July 2022]

Asian YouTubers and ghost tubers. It is an interesting concept but is it any good?! It is very clichéd in that the group of characters go against common sense and go against the advice of the Buddhist exorcist, with "expected/dire consequences".

It does remind me of the conjuring. It has the clichéd jump scares & I must admit I did not get close to being scared. It is predictable & the antagonist red eyes are far from being menacing. The beginning scene is the best and the rest of the film is pale by comparison. It runs out of steam & the rope scenes are fine.

The reluctant priests and the protagonist are the best drawn characters whereas everyone is folder to be killed. It is inoffensive & watchable..

The main protagonist is dumb

[Sushi-78436 · 1/10 · 3 January 2021]

The main protagonist woman (jia min), is super duper dumb. I cannot stand her. She didnt follow the instructions and when her auntie got possessed. All she do was to cry and ask her auntie what she was doing. ( for the fact she knew her aunt is possessed). She didnt expect to kill the master by pointing a sword at him??? Then she will cry after that. I really cannot stand here, she is so dumb. I was also surprise by the auntie not being able to die after stabbing herself multiple times in the neck, and later part of the movie, she was hung by the rope. And surprise!... she didnt die! All in all. This is stupid, dont waste your time.

Boring as hell

The main actor does not know how to act. He looked like a guy who just woke up buzzed from a night of heavy drinking, expressionless and confused, speaking in a monotone voice the entire movie. The female character is dumb and mind bogginglu boring

Horror done good.

[firebird-36831 · 8/10 · 31 December 2020]

Better than most english horror movies. Visually nice. Could of had things jump out at you or more blood or more evil looking people when they were possessed. Hope for sequel.

Rubbish...I s*** you knot!

[sassylassy12000 · 1/10 · 4 May 2021]

Plot's a bit ropey! Title kind of strings you along! I wish I was lying that it was a rubbish film...but I'm a-frayed knot! So to tie it all up...don't watch it!

If you read my review of the first, 'The Rope Curse (2018)' you may remember that I said that this sequel was the bad news. Well I am sorry to inform you its much worse than you/myself/anyone could possibly have thought!

I'm not a big fan of the horror film genre but I love 99% of Asian horror films - especially South Korean. I think 'The Eye' trilogy was my first or maybe 'Ju-On' and I voraciously hunt them down ever since. I never thought I would see an Asian horror film that could be as bad as this and its predecessor were.

I think what I have said gives you more than an idea of just how bad it was. Watch by all means but no complaining afterwards 😄

Confusing and boring...

[paul_haakonsen · 2/10 · 19 December 2023]

While I have indeed watched the 2018 movie "Zong Xie" (aka "The Rope Curse"), I must admit that I cannot remember anything from that movie, aside from the title and something about nooses. So when I sat down to watch the 2020 Taiwanese sequel "Zong Xie 2" (aka "The Rope Curse 2"), I wasn't really harboring any expectations. And that essentially left writer Tzu-Ming Ma with every opportunity to entertain, bedazzle and impress me with this sequel.

The storyline in "Zong Xie 2" was a rather mundane and boring one, and it was quite a struggle to sit through it, especially since I didn't really fully understand the concept and idea of the storyline. I suppose you need some insight into Taiwanese folklore and susperstition to appreciate the storyline here. And as a casual viewer, I must say that writer Tzu-Ming Ma failed to deliver an interesting script.

And the character gallery in the movie wasn't particularly thrilling or interesting either. It was difficult to actually say where one character ended and the next one started. The characters were lacking distinctive traits and feats to differentiate them from one another.

Given my limited exposure to the Taiwanese cinema, then I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. However, it should be noted that the acting performances were fair enough, despite the fact that the script and storyline was rubbish.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand here, as the movie doesn't really make use of special effects in an abundance.

For a horror movie, then "Zong Xie 2" was a swing and a miss, especially for a casual viewer such as myself. There was nothing scary about the storyline, unless you consider general confusion and a lack of red thread throughout the narrative as being scary.

My rating of "Zong Xie 2", from director Shih-Han Liao, lands on a mere two out of ten stars.

Quite a good movie

I dont know what some people want from a horror movie to have not liked this movie but I thought this movie was very good. As a matter of fact I found it a lot better acted and directed then some major blockbusters. It was both spooky and a joy to watch. I am going to find the first movie and watch that too.

The scares are suspenseful and chilling.

[khawlahazwar · 8/10 · 9 July 2022]

The plot is simple but I love the delivery of the story. The main characters are realistic. It's chilling, enjoyable and heartwarming too. If you expect a horror movie that only focuses on jumps cares, maybe this one a bit dull for you. But if you want a good deliverance of story that keeps you on your seat, then watch it. You won't be disappointed. And really, don't take bad reviews too quickly. Give this movie a try.
