According to this movie, the title refers to a curse placed upon a house where violence occurred. Sure enough, we see a string of unhappy encounters in a seemingly ordinary home, where ghosts have settled in the aftermath of murder. Director Takashi Shimizu (who also directed the Hollywood remake, The Grudge) constructs the picture out of separate fragments, not told in chronological order; the haunted house is the main character, not any one of the unsuspecting human characters. Cult mavens might suggest that Shimizu uses devices and images that have already worked well in films by Hideo Nakata and Kiyoshi Kurosawa--the Japanese horror film does have its conventions. But none of that matters if you're watching this movie alone at home on a dark night. Click, click, click.... --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The SludgeTrue horror is watching an over-hyped Japanese horror film that has as its hideous monster a six-year-old Japanese boy with his face caked in white make-up, mascara and his big moment to scare comes when he bulges his eyes and goes: "Ssssssssss!" Wow, I had a heart attack and had to rush to the emergency room for a heart transplant. One grows bored quick when it seems that every recent japanese horror film always has ghost children and they all have the same make-up person who thinks ...

Since I'm a horror movie junkie, with a great appreciation for B-lists, I gave this movie a try. It was NOT worth the 25 cents I paid plus shipping and handling. I proceeded to give that guy a roundhouse kick. Rating: - The Original is the Best!!It is sad that they made "The Grudge" for america, They should have redubbed this in english. The Grudge Movies suck!! If you are goin to watch one, watch JU-ON(The Grudge). It maybe low budget but it's better!! By the way I'm not goin to tell you about the movie, it would ruin it for you, I will say it's worth the buy!! I rate this movie a 8 from 1to10!! Rating:  - One Of The First Great J-Horror MoviesI'm sure by now most people have heard of the american version of this movie the 'Grudge and Grudge 2' but these version are what the true horror of the movies should have been about in the japanese version you felt sad when one of the characters was taken by the curse and I know that I wanted a few of them to get through it alive unlike the american ones I couldn't care less if any of those people got it and I was rooting for the grudge to take care of Sarah Michelle Gellar I definitely liked what ...

American Horror cinema has been in hibernation for too many years (or am I alone in thinking this?!) . . . and while we await a resurgence in original American horror, we give thanks for Asian Horror (note the word "original" because I have little interest in seeing remakes of "Texas Chain Saw," "Black Christmas," and "Halloween" . . . ohhhh yeah, just in case you didn't know, Rob Zombie is remaking Carpenter's "Halloween." Grrreeeaaatt.) But let's face it . . . Asian Horror accomplishes ... Read More |
