The Grudge

This movie looks interesting. Might watch it when it opens this Friday.

Yeah. I laugh everytime I see that little boy come onscreen and scream. He sounds like a kitty!

I love that scream and his little eyes seem to suck me in every time!

I get nightmares pretty easily so I am scared to see this film... but at the same time, I can't wait to see it.

Kinda bummed already tho... Sarah Michelle apparently is already in the works for a sequel... I wish they'd quit sequeling everything to death.

so far, reviews at movies.com are less than favorable...they say its mediocre at best, but I'm still going to see it tonight.

 

[YoshiXL]

im gonna watch it... even though its rated pg13... not a big fan of those, cuz they never reach full potential.

 

[tqpix]

Saw it today. I liked it.

 

[heavenliejediofthebeach]

I will not be seeing that movie due to the fact that I scare super easily, Ya, Im a WIMP!

 

[SUNSTONE]

PG13?!?
Blah!
I can't think of a good pg13 horror movie.

 

[matty c]

the ring sucked.
we did a horrible job at trying to make the ring like ringu.
the grudge was originally a japanese film so i expect a same result with the americanized version.
i really dont want to see the movie cause most "horror" films are a joke.
unfortunately the girl im currently dating wants to see it...so im stuck payin 15.00 for a movie i know is gunna be horrible. now thats horror!

Hahaha, I know, when I first saw that I thought it was a commercial for one of those comedy movies that makes fun of horror movies, like Scary Movie or something.

I will not be seeing that movie due to the fact that I scare super easily, Ya, Im a WIMP!

im a wimp too but i think i might see it w/ someone who wont mind me digging my fingernails into their arm any time anything remotely scary happens... that little boy who meows freaked me out and i screamed the first time i saw it and i slept my light on for a few nights

 

[mnmcandiez]

I want to see it sometime

 

[Dawn Marie]

My friend saw it the other night. She was really scared... said it was good.

I'm a SMG fan, so I'll see it sooner or later I guess.

I went to see it on Friday...


Horrible movie. The story appears at first to be "gelling" up to a climax, yet there is no climax at all. The scares were your typical "showing a character facing left, slowly turning towards the right, switch screen quickly and abruptly to the image of something scary" for a cheap jolt in your seat. They literally mimic this same tactic 6-7 throughout the movie to produce 98% of the scares.
Gellar couldn't act her way out of a wet paperbag, and truthfully, even though I'm a huge "Buffy" fan, Michelle gave the worst acting performance of the entire cast.
Even towards the end, I was compelled to say "Why doesn't she just slap that slow moving thing out of her way, instead of just stand there while the thing inches its way closer to her face for 10 minutes of screen time?"

I know I know, thats because its "supposed" to be because she's so terrified she can't move, but Michelle just had that dumb "jaw dropped down" look, instead of intense fear that they were trying to convey to the audience.

Seriously gang, its a rental at best.

When will they go back to the days of "atmospheric" terror, that made the best hollywood classics, instead of cheap "quick, spin the camera around!" sight gags to scare folks?

Anyway, just my opinion, and you know what they all say about opinions...

I saw it. It was a little freaky . They cut some scenes out they showed in the previews. I hate when they do that!

 

[wiseguide]

Ebert and Roper both gave it thumbs down. They also both said it was so bad they were tempted to walk out, but didn't because that was something they never practiced.

To me it just looks too gimmicky. I love horror but haven't felt the slightest interest in seeing this. How could true horror movie makers use someone like Gellar?

 

[flyin high]

I saw it this weekend...terrible movie. Yeah there were some jolts that made you jump, but there was not plot. There were too many things that were not explained, or did not make sense. I left the movie thinking that i had missed an hour of it.

Awful movie and a waste of money!

 

[Acickea926]

I really wanna see this movie, I like the little japanese boy, he's cute, he's supposed to be scary probably but he doesn't scare me!! lol I am a little odd..
