The Rope Curse 2 continues the story from the first film, focusing again on the ritual to cleanse cursed ropes but introduces a new antagonist—an evil demon from Thailand seeking to be reborn as a human. While the sequel’s plot differs significantly from the original, watching the first film is recommended to better understand the ritual and the returning characters who play important roles near the ending. The story’s foundation is established clearly with introductions to key characters such as the Thai demon, Chair Maiden, Huo Ge, and Jia Min. However, the narrative has some confusing elements, like the unclear origins of the demon statue and contradictory details about why the demon kills its supposed worshippers, the drug dealers. Unlike the first film, the victims' connections to the evil spirit are vague, and some plot points—like the curse affecting an unrelated YouTuber—feel forced. Despite this, tension builds well with several intense scenes, including impressive possession sequences, making this installment noticeably scarier than its predecessor. The film’s resolution, particularly the battle with the demon, feels rushed and unsatisfying given the demon’s established power. Performances are generally solid, especially Vera Chen as Jia Min’s aunt, who delivers compelling and extreme emotional moments. Although critics on IMDb gave it low ratings and some characters act unrealistically or annoyingly, the film still offers a coherent story and worthwhile themes, making it an entertaining watch for fans of Taiwanese horror.
