TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
puuoor We can learn many things of these Genres. I've forgotten most of my funny fears after watching these genres. I think someone who wants to be a great person must get released of his or her fears and fight for his or her goals.
Alice Carter I happen to be a horror movie addict, so it wasn't an unusual thing for me to call my two friends over to watch stuff with me. This time, we chose the Grudge. Not even halfway through it, we were piled on top of each other like a pile of kittens. Then we walked each other to the bathroom. This movie is tense and creepy, but with a good story too and I do recommend it. It's one of those things that creeps you out just thinking about it, and has decent special effects, which a lot of horror movies lack big time these days.Beware: this film may give you a phobia of hair combs, since that creepy ghost-popping sound is made with a hair comb. I mean it, I could not pick one up.
xsophietaylorx This film really is absolutely terrifying I had heard the hype of 'The Grudge' and happened to catch it on ITV, I started watching it and instantly approved of it because of Sarah Michelle Gellar (an actor I am rather fond off) The film has a really good plot and It genuinely is scary. There is something so creepy about the monster on the film the noise it makes still gives me chills and the music is horrific sort of like memorable music that every time you hear you associate with The Grudge and you will begin to be scared. I found myself after watching The Grudge actually scared to go upstairs alone It really did affect me and I know many off my friends felt the same way there is something about the film that is chilling. The Grudge is definitely worth your time to watch and will keep you on your toes!
FlashCallahan Karen Davis is residing in Japan with her boyfriend, who is studying there. Temporarily assigned to be a carer for a woman with severe sleeping disorder, Karen goes to the patient's house. What she finds is something she would never expect. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Now, Karen finds herself being tormented by that curse, as it eventually starts claiming it's victims.....In the early noughties, the cinema was rife with remakes of 'J-Horror', and even though some of them were good, it was just an excuse for Hollywood to make money, because some people just couldn't be bothered with subtitles.The Ring, Dark Water, Shutter, and this are prime examples.But at least this was directed by the originals director, so at least some respect has been maintained. Geller is in it, she's okay, but the movie goes to show that she could never carry a film. She more or less put a stake in her movie career with her performance, like rice with no salt, its does the job, but it's very bland.So thank heavens then for the rest of the cast, and the brilliant camera-work used when we see the ghosts.The lift scene, and the photo montage are standouts, in what other wise are jump scenes.Its one of those movies that the more you watch it, the less the horror will scare you, and the story will intrigue you more.Worth seeing, but if you've seen the original, don't bother.
