It's not the scary hit that The Ring was in 2002, but The Grudge makes a similarly convincing case for American remakes of popular Japanese horror films. Barely a year passed between the release of Takashi Shimizu's creepy ghost story Ju-On: The Grudge and the production of this American remake, set in Tokyo and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in her first post-Buffy horror film. About the only significant difference between the two films is the importing of a mostly-American cast (including Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and Grace Zabriskie), but The Grudge was reconfigured (by screenwriter Stephen Susco) to allow Shimizu to refine and improve the spookiest highlights of his earlier version, which enjoyed previous incarnations as a short film and two made-for-Japanese-video features. Surprising box-office analysts with a $40 million opening weekend, The Grudge may disappoint hard-core horror fans because it lacks gore and graphic violence, but as a creepy tale about a very haunted house, it's guaranteed to send a few chills up your spine. --Jeff Shannon

I'd watch it again, but it's not something i'd waste money on. I'd see it, just for a good story, but borrow it from a friend or somethin'.

There's no question that Grudge is more interested in scares than substance, but in a genre currently dominated by 'torture-porn' the film's determined creepiness is a welcome respite from gratuitous blood-letting.
In many ways Grudge is just an expansion on the scares offered by 'The Ring'. You have a similarly creepy little girl who spends her days in the afterlife scaring random strangers (literally) to death. She's joined by her slightly less creepy little brother, and together they ... Read More

This movie stank. Had a good scene or two but made zero sense if you examined its plot. And then there was the chick killed while she was hiding under the blanket. Come on, everybody knows covering your head under a blanket makes you invulnerable to monster attack! What rank amateurism...

This was a real surprise movie for me. Having heard this movie mentioned so much, but not knowing the premise is what really caught me off-guard. What a freakin' spooky movie!!! I loved the way the movie was pieced together after each spooky ocurrance, so that you knew what led up to the demise of each individual; instead of trying to guess. I especially liked the fact that it was made in Japan, and the some of the American actors had to try and communicate in Japanese.
Let's see now... ... Read More

I first saw THE GRUDGE in it's initial theatrical form. I didn't find it all that frightening. Of course, I had just seen THE RING, which made THE GRUDGE seem like a clone thereof. Well, I recently watched the extended, director's cut of THE GRUDGE and it is a tad spookier. One thing that puzzles me is why the many deleted scenes were not incorporated into the finished product. Quite a few of them are as scary as anything in the movie! They also add to the overall story in key places. Oh well, at least ... Read More
