Do I have the right movie?

Can someone help me, I just brought Ju-on 2 and it doesn’t have anything from the first movie in the beginning. The movie starts off with a gut and his girl driving, talking about their upcoming wedding and the guy runs over a cat, he gets out to look and the girl opens her door and looks down and sees two white legs come running up to the cat. The man doesn’t see this so he gets back in and starts driving, the girl looks down and sees the ghost boy holding the wheel and they crash. In the hospital the doctors tell the girl that she lost her baby, she goes to the guy room and when she open’s the door she sees the ghost kid, he comes running up to her and touches her stomach. When she goes back to the doctor he tells her she didn’t lose the baby and she’s still pregnant. I had to stop it there but I’m going to finish it tonight. Reading what’s written here tells me that maybe I have a different version or it’s not part 2. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to go to the following link for the movie you describe here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367913/

Just to clarify:
Ju-On The Curse 1 --- the first installment (shot on video)
Ju-On The Curse 2 --- the second installment (shot on video)
Ju-On The Grudge 1 --- the third installment (theatrical release)
Ju-On The Grudge 2 --- the fourth installment (theatrical release)

Hope this helps! :D

America should of never called the DVD "Ju-On 2" when the movie is more kown as "Ju-On The Grudge 2" because Ju-On 2 is the named used for "Ju-On The Curse 2" which is the TV movie, the page you're on now.

That's why I made the thread "PLEASE READ" so it'll clear up alot of confusion.

It is confusing - the one you have is the FOURTH movie in the series - Ju-On: The Grudge 2 - it was the last one made in Japan (until the fifth comes out next year).

Thank you to all of you for the clarification, because I was thoroughly confused too!

I just finished watching this on TMC, and it's only called "Ju-on 2", so, when I came here, and read IMDB's description, I cocked my head to the side, and was like, "Huh?!"

Why do translations have to be so vague?!

So, this is the Grudge 2 that I just watched, and not The Ring 2?

It wasn't bad. It was certainly better than The Grudge (American version). I didn't like that at all. Looks like I still have to wait, and hope that the first "Ju-on" (either The Ring, or The Grudge, or maybe even both, if I'm that lucky) comes on satellite eventually. I'd really like to see the originals of both.

Thanks again for the clarification! Much appreciated!

Oh god! I just did the same thing! I was up late and I really liked the whole idea of Ju-on so I decided to watch it. I didn't understand the ending so I decided to go online and check it out. That's so weird. I wonder why they didn't clarify things all the way then. I was so very confused in the beginning!
