I cannot wait for this movie I can never explain my love for horror movies. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but how many times are we going to do the hand in the hair cut scene? I understand it's part of the THING, but maybe do that mid trailer and do something even more spooky for the end. Great performances, I thought. But pretty lame film. This could have been any horror movie, just pop in a girl with her hair in her face and call it The Grudge.
Why is the ghost kid only wearing underwear when he was fully dressed when he was murdered. I want to see this. ?.

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog. br> It's a brand new year, which means January gets to be the traditional "trash month" once again. In Portugal, it's actually one of the best months of the year since all of the Oscar-contender films are released (late) during these first few weeks. However, it still contains the formulaic action and/or horror movies. The Grudge, a reboot of a remake (because why not. is the most recent addition to the group of horror flicks that no one really understands why they were produced.

I was never a fan of the film series, so obviously, I wasn't expecting much from a reboot of a franchise that always looked like a lazily cheap way of filming a few jump scare sequences with no remarkable storytelling. Nicolas Pesce shows some hints of talent regarding his filmmaking skills with some efficiently suspenseful scenes, but the aspect to blame in this type of movies is always the same: screenplay. I can't remember the last film I saw that treated the audience like the dumbest people alive. It truly becomes disrespectful. It's like the producers thought that the target audience for a horror flick was 5-year-old children. It reaches a point where the movie itself feels like it's being very intelligent in the way it shares plot information. It creates this tense build-up, filled with characters almost dropping a big twist, and then. it's something so evident since the first few minutes of the film. This process repeats throughout the entire runtime. "Here comes a big twist! Are you ready? Watch out! Here it goes. BAM! You didn't saw that coming, did you. br> Yes. We did. Everyone did. Even the theater supervisor who only shows up for a couple of seconds each half an hour was able to figure out everything that was happening. During the screening, I didn't know if I should laugh due to the ridiculously explicit plot points or if I should be frustrated for being treated like I was totally brainless. Everything about The Grudge feels painfully obvious. I try my best not to think too far ahead. I try not to predict what's going to occur or when a jump scare is going to happen. But this movie is so incredibly generic that I couldn't avoid knowing everything instinctively. Story-wise or jump scares, it doesn't matter. Everything that Pesce tries to do, it's surrounded by such an aura of predictability that makes this horror film extremely dull. I mean, that's one of the worst feelings one can have while watching a horror movie, right? How can someone feel bored by a film constantly throwing jump scares and "massive" plot points every five minutes? Well, The Grudge was able to accomplish this miracle. I don't know why The Grudge, as a film series, continues to exist. The first installment, which was itself a remake of the Japanese original, was a surprising box office success. Still, the majority of the audience and critics didn't really like the movie. The consequent theater releases were a disappointment. So, let's do a reboot of the remake, right? Nicolas Pesce seems to be a great filmmaker, he's able to easily generate tension and a dark environment, but such a huge misstep like this can hurt his career. The talented cast tries their best to bring this film to safe harbor, but the absurdly obvious, generic, formulaic, cliche story sunk the movie pretty hard. Its lack of surprising features, the extremely predictable jump scares, and the complete disregard for the audience, treating the viewers like the dumbest people ever, make The Grudge one of the worst horror films of the last few years. Rating: D.

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020 Format: DVD Verified Purchase This was the first scary movie to ever give me a true nightmare. I was in my late teens when the film came out and having never seen Japanese horror before and having only ever seen slasher films or gore-lined films such as Halloween, Friday The 13th, Alien and other Western horror classic, I was not prepared for the amount of dread this film created. That being said, watching it again many years later, the film is a convoluted mess with several different stories being told in non-chronological order across the film and while the scares are still good it does make the film worse than I remember it being. Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019 Format: DVD Verified Purchase I've owned this film for years and finally watched it. I mean, gee, it was scary in a very delicious way. I wasn't quite certain why it affected me, but I guess that is the point of a really good director and a cast of devoted damn good actors. this film makes you jump. you don't want to, but you just do. this is not an ordinary film. enjoy Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2005 Format: DVD Verified Purchase If I learned anything from watching The Grudge (2004) last night its that malevolent spirits are very messy, and don't pick up after themselves. Perhaps that's part of their modus come into your home, create a huge mess, and then while your attention is focused on cleaning up the place, that's when they choose to scare the heebie jeebies out of you. Well, few things, cinematically speaking, scare the heebie jeebies out of me anymore (real life is infinitely more frightening), but I did think this film was, at the very least, entertaining, and provided some spooky visuals and an interesting and fairly simple story. Co-written and directed by Takashi Shimizu, The Grudge is actually a remake of a Japanese film he did previously titled Ju-on: The Grudge (2003), which I have not seen, so I can't comment or compare without sounding foolish. Appearing in the film is Sarah Michelle Gellar (I Know What You Did Last Summer).. anyone else find it slightly pretentious to consistently use all three names? But I appearing is Jason Behr ("Dawson's Creek"), William Mapother (Lords of Dogtown), Clea DuVall (Identity), KaDee Strickland (Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid), Grace Zabriskie (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me), Ted Raimi (Man with the Screaming Brain), Ryo Ishibashi (Dog Star), and Bill Pullman, the guy who played the President of the United States in Roland Emmerich's bloated and flawed science fiction orgasmofest masterpiece Independence Day (1996)... I rip on Emmerich because I think he's one of the worst kinds of filmmakers (load the movie with costly special effects to hide the fact its lacking in everything else, including an actual story) but in a purely visual sense his films can be fun... The film begins with some text telling us that when a really angry person bites during a fit of unprecedented rage, the negative energies stick around, creating some wickedly awesome bad mojo that waits to glom onto unsuspecting individuals who happen to visit the area, thus consuming their juicy and effervescent life force. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Karen Davis, an exchange student living in Japan with her boyfriend Doug (Behr) who's quite the hunk with his perfectly tousled know the style, it's the one that someone spends two hours and a whole lot of money at the hairdressers for to get that `just woke up' look (I get it every morning for free).., Karen, who's a nurse of sorts, receives an assignment to provide daytime care for a really creepy infirmed elderly woman (Zabriskie) after the mysterious disappearance of the previous caregiver named, poor Yoko, I knew her not, Horatio, but she was a pretty, young, hello kitty, Karen arrives at the house, sensing something odd, but goes about performing her chores. Turns out the crazy lady lives with her son (Mapother) and his wife (DuVall), neither of whom return home, prompting Karen to call her boss (Raimi) as she doesn't want to leave the goony old bat guess what? They're not least not in that house, as it has a violent history, and something was left behind, something in the form of a small, nekkid Japanese boy with a whole lot of a big mouth... (the evil takes on many forms, but this was the oddest) First of all, does anyone else think William Mapother is kinda creepy? I'm not talking about his character, but the man face is all scrunched up and too small for his head, reminding me of one of those angry midgets from the Phantasm, I suppose I'm no Adonis myself, and he's probably a very kind I said before, I enjoyed this film. It sort of reminded me of a Japanese version of The Amityville Horror, but, instead of Satan moving in and causing all sorts of mischief, we have a nondescript evil entity, the result of a past incident of great anger and violence (the Japanese detective referred to it an `emotional stain'), indiscriminately preying on unsuspecting visitors who happen to enter the abode. I might be tempted to label this a haunted house story, but that's not entirely true as the malevolent force wasn't confined to the house, but rather latched on to individuals who spent time within the four walls, and subsequently followed them wherever they went, let's just say following them around was by far the least harmful thing it would story was actually pretty simple, but told in a way to make it appear more complicated. What I mean is instead of proceeding on a linear path, the film is edited in such a way that we see past sequences mixed in with scenes of the present, as they story crosses timeline boundaries, weaving three, connected tales into one. This kind of thing can get messed up very easily, but here they kept it clean, orderly, and understandable. The main one involves Sarah Michelle Gellar's character, the second involves the family currently residing in the house, and the third features the family that lived in the house three years past, and the ones responsible for all the stuff going on presently. Oddly, there seemed to be less focus on the characters and more on the story itself, which may be a result of cultural differences, I'm not sure, but it felt intentional, so I went with are some good scares throughout the film, many the result of something seemingly innocuous in the background coming forth to surprise an unsuspecting audience, along with a few, drawn out sequences designed to create a sense of suspense. The overall effect for me was a permeating sense of unease, as the evil was clinging to the characters, biding its time. Overall I thought the cinematography was really beautiful, and I especially liked those long and foreboding shots, as they developed a real sense of tension. If you're looking for some visceral thrills, you'll probably be disappointed as the blood n' guts factor is minimal, but in terms of a spooky ghost story, the film does very well. I have only seen the PG-13 version, but there is an R rated directors cut available on DVD, one that features about six or seven minutes of extra footage. The picture on this DVD, presented in widescreen (1. 85:1) anamorphic high definition, looks very sharp and clean and the Dolby Digital 5. 1 audio comes through very well. The PG-13 version that I have has a commentary track with producer Sam Raimi, screenwriter Stephen Susco, actors Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ted Raimi, KaDee Strickland, and Jason Behr, along with a couple of others. It also features a five part, `making of' documentary titled `A Powerful Rage', a featurette titled `Under the Skin' - A medical explanation of fear response in film, along with trailers, one for this film, along with The Forgotten (2004), Guess Who (2005), Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), Boogeyman (2005), Riding Giants (2004), Spider-Man 2 (2004), Man of the House (2005), and Mirrormask (2005). The Director's Cut DVD contains a few more extras, so if you are planning on buying this film, keep an eye on which version you're getting, depending on what you're looking for... Cookieman108 By the way, did anyone notice how I got through this entire review without mentioning The Ring (2002)? Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase Great classic scary movie. Not so scary by today’s standards, more like a little creepy. The visual effects look funny, but not a bad movie overall Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019 Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase Excellent movie. Was a little reluctant to purchase since it was shipped out of Canada. Especially since the shipping was going to be a while. I waited and it showed up about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Again thank you. Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2011 Format: DVD Verified Purchase My mother rented this movie when it first came out, this was when I was pretty young so I didn't get the chance to see it. She said it was one of creepiest movies she's ever seen. Now that I'm older I went ahead and bought it and I'm very glad I did! It was indeed creepy. It's one of those movies that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You also have to play very close attention because there is always something going on, even if it's in the background. It definitely made me jump. So I would recommend this film if your into these types of movies. Although I will say it's not the scariest movie I've ever seen, but that's just my opinion and everyone's different. I don't want to go too much into detail and reveal too much about it so you can be surprised and see for yourself! You really can't go wrong with the price! :) Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Pretty good horror flick. Not as eerie as I would have liked, but still creepy enough. The girl is so computer animate
