It was supposed to be scary but it kinda didn't have a great scary feel to it.

SMG as Karen Davis is fantastic in this. This and Ju-On: The Curse are probably my two favorite Ju-On/Grudge movies. The extended Directors Cut is the definitive version of the film to watch, the theatrical cut can leave to some questions. Definitely worth a watch during Halloween :D

I'm kinda waffling between a "Meh" and a "Fair" rating; I think it's probably closer to a 5.5 "Meh-and-a-half" rating because it had some decent scenes in it. Never been a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar so that was a bit offputting, but in spite of her, it was a decent story. This isn't a "gorror" movie, so if you're looking for a bloody mess, this will probably leave you a bit lacking. But as a "spooky" movie, I think it was a fair shake. I haven't seen the others yet (upcoming!) so I can't compare this to any others, but I _will_ say that - thanks to SMG and her central role - I wouldn't consider this one worth watching AGAIN. First time, yeah....It's a decent enough movie. Not nearly as scary as I had thought (and hoped) but still fun to watch. Once.

The Movie Diorama

The Grudge begrudgingly latches onto croaky jump scares without logical cohesion. This, is an unusual horror to review. It’s rather uncommon for the same director, in this case Takashi Shimizu, to remake his own original film for an entirely different audience. Most would push their original creat More
