Soju's 15 Horror Movie Recommendations | Finale "The Rope Curse 2" focuses on the Zhong Kui dance portion of the ritual, where a Taoist priest assumes the spirit of Zhong, a deity who is known for his abilities to vanquish evil spirits and ghosts. Other supernatural beliefs are added into the mix, including yizi gu divination practice through summoning the spirit of a murdered young girl as well as a spine-chilling dose of Thai black magic. The movie follows Huo Ge, who is a troubled man blessed (or cursed) with the ability to see supernatural beings. His spirit is broken after inadvertently killing his master, who taught him how to perform exorcisms. He begrudgingly agrees to play the part of Zhong Kui during a song rou zong ritual to save a village from a Thai spirit that is causing villagers to hang themselves.

Reviews
The Rope Curse 2 for sure had a bigger budget than the first movie, but it also had worse scriptwriting and directing. Nothing felt connected, the big reveal about the evil being at the end was not set up properly through the film either. For me, it was just hard to care about anything happening on the screen, because I was not entertained or engaged.
The acting was passable. I have not seen Lee Kang Sheng in any other movie or show, so his questionable performance and somewhat weak line delivery might have been the result of poorly written script.
It honestly felt more like a US remake and not an Asian horror movie. It was filled with cheap jump scares, shallow characters, loosely connected plot points and lack of overall depth.
