A man and a woman started kissing in bed, implied that they're going to have sex following the scene cut.

In the first scene of the movie, a man commits suicide by jumping off a balcony.

The deceased body of a man is witnessed by several shocked bystanders and his wife after he commits suicide. His limbs are bent at odd angles, one of his eyeballs is popped out of the socket, and blood is pooled out from his head.

A boy has a heavily bandaged, bleeding knee, cuts on his face and legs, and dark circles around his eyes, implying earlier incidents of physical abuse from his father.

A woman is killed when a ghost suddenly appears under her bedsheets and drags her beneath, disappearing into nothingness.

Flashbacks reveal that a man killed his family by chasing his wife, who sprains her ankle trying to escape, and grabbing her by her hair to snap her neck, then slash her with a box cutter. Then he proceeds to drown his son, who witnessed the murder, and the family cat. Not as graphic as it sounds, most of the details are implied.

A man is killed when a ghost hovers over him and presumably drains him of his life force, leaving behind his pale corpse.

A shadowy ghost hovers over an elderly woman and induces a heart attack on her, killing her.

PG-13 violence type: blood and graphic.

A man hears noises in a closet, opens the door, looks up toward the attic hatch, and a blood-soaked body lands on him. The man runs, opens another door, and the legs of a person swinging and kicking the wall are shown.

A man goes into a bathroom and finds a boy with his head in a bathtub full of water; the man pulls the boy out, and then the man is shoved into the water (an arm is shown going towards him and he is heard flailing).

A woman reaches toward a sheet covering a dead body in a morgue, it moves, an ashen hand comes out from under the sheet, she turns around and sees a specter with a glaring eye.

God's name is used in vein a couple of times throughout the film. Once around 15:16. And once around 1:04:24. This is considered very explicit by Christians and many of which may want to skip over this specific language.

There are two uses of "hell" and one use of "damn".

Casual smoking amongst employees at a restaurant.

A man looks over some photos of old colleagues, they're all holding alcoholic drinks.

A few jump scares and a very dark atmosphere throughout. As this film is directed by the same man who made the original film, it retains his traditional dread and unsettling tone of horror.

The fact that, in contrast to traditional haunted house stories, the characters are not safe from the ghost's wrath even when they escape from the house, and the curse essentially spreading like a virus from person to person with seemingly no way to stop it, can be very intense and frightening for some viewers.

A woman is chased up a staircase by a ghostly woman, who grabs and breaks her cell phone. An unnamed security guard offers to check for her and protect her; he is seen walking down the hall and there's a moment of tension as it's unclear whether or not the ghost will get him.

A police detective witnesses a ghoulish figure on camera; this cuts to a disturbing closeup shot of a woman's eyes.

The film's title and end credits feature red text on a black background framing words like "curse" and "death", accompanied by ominous music. This may frighten some viewers.

An elderly woman suffers from dementia; at various points in the film, she is seen neglected and abandoned, visibly frightened and unable to care for herself. This may upset some viewers.

The theatrical cut is an MPAA-rated PG-13 in the US but the extended cut available on home video restores just about enough footage to push the film to an R rating.

The appearances of Kayako and Toshio may frighten some viewers, as they make inhuman and guttural noises, literally appear out of nowhere at certain points, and can bend and contort their bodies in ways that seem humanly impossible.
