THE GRUDGE !!! A MUST WATCH!!!
As I had mentioned earlier, Japanese movies are so creepy and well made. Well lets put it this way, that first they are so well made and the horror ones are definitely so good that they are real real creepy. Saw this movie 'The Grudge' yesterday! The best thing about the movie is, you know that something is going to happen now in the next 2 seconds and still you feel those jolts and shudders. Of course the movie had its own separate share of unexpected scares and overall the movie is logical with no masala mix even at the end. I rate this movie as my second best horror movie after my all time favorite 'The Exorcist- The Director's Cut'. I liked the Director's Cut only for the two scenes which were cut from the original movie back in 1979, because the censors thought that those 2 scenes were extremely scary for the general audience that they posed a health risk for cardiac patients. Infact when the movie was released in 1979, warnings were given to those with a weak heart to decide whether they should watch the movie or not.
The Grudge is a remake of the original Japanese movie 'Ju-On'. Its about a house which is cursed by a ghost and anybody staying or even entering the house, is cursed and has to face the grudge. One good thing Sam Raimi and Takashi Shimizu have done is they haven't changed much while doing the English version of the movie. The complete story is based in Japan, with only Sarah Michelle Gellar and a few others replacing the original cast. Gellar plays the substitute nurse who covers up for her friend (who has disappeared for mysterious reasons) for a day to look after an old lady. There she comes face to face with the grudge. A must watch for everybody.....and try to get tickets for the last show of the day to add to its creepiness!!!!!
