HIDE AND GO KILL 2 is another slice of shot-on-video horror from Japan, a film which is almost indistinguishable from the first. Once again it's an Internet-themed story about a sinister online game of hide and seek in which participants are killed by a long-haired ghost girl.
The main problem with these films is their lack of originality and as with the first this is nothing more than a straight rip-off of JU-ON: THE GRUDGE and its sequel. It's a dark, low key story set in just a couple of locations by the look of it in which the director makes much of atmosphere building and shadowed rooms.
The amount of incident in the plot is very small so it's a surprise to find out that this is a fairly long movie. It does feel very repetitive and slow, and it didn't really grab my attention at all.
