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

- Ignore the critics.I wish I had seen this in the theater.
I waited till it came out on video, and I wasn't expecting to like this movie.
The Ring started the wave of "J" horror and The Grudge continues the excellence.
Mega freaky parts make this movie a must see.
A great, twisty, turny script, good acting, and a great ending.
I like Sarah Michelle Geller but she isn't the most convincing actress on the planet.
That minor complaint aside, I recommend The Grudge for being so different ... Read More

- great movieThis was a good movie but not creepy or scary well i don't get scared of horror movies anyway but this was a good movie. This was way better then the second part that one was not good, but this was.
Rating:
- Effectively CreepyHorror movies are effective when they're not so. . .horrifying. Show me a Hamburger Helper gore-fest and I'll get downright bored; there's only so many ways to skin a cat (pardon the pun), plus the viewer, after awhile, becomes completely desensitized to all the blood 'n guts. There's something to be said about things that go bump in the night; if a scary flick is to be effective, there needs to be suspense, a little campy creepiness, and a fleeting glimpse of a monster screaming, "Boo!"

- Well done! Scary, from a tasty Japanese perspectiveThere are great moments in this flick! The story is not so completely original, but the Japanese perspective on horror movies makes this an irresistable film! It doesn't set a straight-forward chronology, but rather, it jumps back and forth in its time frames. So you have to pay attention. And you pick up new things each time you watch it again. It scares you when you are supposed to get scared. There are moments when you are sitting at the edge of your seat, there are things that will send a chill ... Read More

- DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST MELet me begin by saying up front that I am a horror fan. Yes I know that this genre is not considered cerebral enough for most reviewers. But it is one that I love and have loved since childhood. Every thing from low budget movies like SQUIRM to high profile items like THE EXORCIST. That being said, it should come as no surprise that after numerous viewings of all things horrific, there is little to see that I would consider actually scary. Until tonight.
The story is based around a Japanese legend ... Read More
