The Grudge
 

Looks fuckin scary

Looks badass I say. I'm trying to convince me easily frightened girlfriend to go see it. I'm also trying to get my hands on a copy of the original Japanese version. Has anyone here seen it, or no if it's good?? Triple A, I'm looking at you here.

Isn't Sara Michelle Gellar in it? Reason 1 not to see it...

Although if i'm thinking of the correct movie, the previews make the movie seem pretty creepy.

I'll watch it in a day or two and let you know.

Have no interest in this film at all, I will wait for DVD on this one.

It seems kinda gay.

I thought it was part 2 of Darkness Falls at first.

Now a real good suspense movie that I want to see that is out is The Forgotten.

omg looks awesome just havent had the money until today

And what sucks is there are 4 other movies I want to see too. :mad:

Its PG-13 so its not going to be that scary.

I agree. :y:

Thanks :)

Rating doesnt really matter imo.

My prediction:

Opening weekend grosses will be enormous, with fanboys turning out in droves to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in the shower. However, the fact that there is no frontal in this PG-13 "thriller" will lead to negative word-of-mouth on "Buffy" message boards across the world, and "Grudge" will take a second-week nosedive.

Looks cookie cutter.

yeah, i thought it was like a spoof too...that pale looking girl that comes down the stair in the preview looks a lot like the girl in The Ring.

and a kid meowing...comeon

It looks kinda like The Ring for some reason. I think it'll be pretty good ,better than most of you are expecting.

when I saw the previews I saw another Ring spinoff.

Doesn't look like it's gonna be as scary as it is bein made out to be. And if it is to be as scary as Darkness Falls I will be pissed.

I think it looks pretty good....I'll have to wait and see....gona go check it out

I do't know I though Cruel Intentions was pretty good and she played a major part

Like "The Ring," "The Grudge" is based off of a huge hit in Japan, and those damn Japs know how to make good horror movies, and tend not to rehash the same shit over and over again like Hollywood does.

I'm interested for sure.

Two words about this movie: SUCKS ASS!!

No real scares at all, no suspense, no thrill.... just nothing. The directing style is very anti-climactic, they get to a good part then cut away to something boring again. Hmm boring, that's a good word to describe the whole movie. Most of the little teenagers in the theatre were way over reacting by jumping and screaming at everything.

I had a lot more complaints about this movie, but it frustrates me to think about it. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. I have seen worse, but most of those were downloaded. It really pisses me off when I pay to see a bad movie. Oh well 2/5 stars.

Saw it tonight.. thought it was pretty good.

Gotta agree with AareDub, it was boring. Not to mention pointless.

I also had the same experience as he did; teenagers over reacting and jumping too high and screaming too loud. The unfortunate thing is they were my friends. I think I was the only one of the 8 of us who was completely uninterested during this movie, and my girlfriend kept giving me looks like "Why the hell aren't you screaming like the rest of us?"

There is no storyline, the whole movie is jumbled in a very un-artistic style, and the only scares are cheap ones (i.e. "pop out" scares).

A waste of $8.25, but at least the popcorn was good.

So far everyone I have talked to said it wasnt that good...everyone says that he has almost every horror movie cliche ever made in it

General consensus I've gotten is that is has no plot which kills off all the things that are supposed to scare you. There's no build up for them. I'll probably see it for the hell of it, if I do I'll post a review.

i wanna see that movie lol i luv scary movies but i cant go anywhere *cryes all weekend*

Die

Pop-up scary.. Besides that stupid ass story.. Bad acting.. and just plain bad

The original is really terrible as well, so dont bother seeing that

:y:

I thought it was pretty good

I take that back this movie sucks. I am a big fan of scary movies and this one started pretty good...but it went downhill pretty quick. It isn't scary at all , I was :| like this after each "scary moment", I was disappointed.

I thought it was decent as well, but not great either.

man seems like more bad reviews of it then the aight ones. I may skip out on it unless I'm talked into goin with a group of folks

Eh, not as bad as people make it out to be IMO. The directing style didn't bother me that much, as I've seen movies filmed like that before, and I understand the point of doing it. I found the movie entertaining.

For the people who disliked the directing, what would you have done differently? Keep in mind this is by no means a slasher flick, or a fast paced horror movie. Unless they wanted to be more graphic with things, there wasn't much else they could do before switching scenes.

That movie was pretty good. Just saw it today.

The acting sucked and they made the plot too simple by always showing things that happened in the past in ways that were less than subtle. The ghosts or spirits were not answering any logic. Like in most movies, ghosts will have certain rules that they must follow, but here, they just did anything they wanted to do. We spent the movie exchanging jokes with two guys sitting next to us, so we had a pretty good time anyway.

Made about $40 mil this weekend. Holy crap.

Japanese remakes are kicking ass lately.

I thought it was gay. It had a chance to get good and it didnt. The best part was the previews before the movie. Looks like some good scary ones are coming out soon.

To explain the way I felt about it I'll do the simplest thing possible, relate it to sex. The scenes continued to make their way towards the exciting moment (orgasm) and would then cut you off before you got there. Now a little tease here and there can even be a good thing, but after the second time they did it I was left with a case of blue balls so bad that I didn't want to see any more of that bitch. It's not the cutting away that bothered me as much as it seemed like they were cutting away a little too early.

The past and present interchanging between f'd up scene cuts doesn't bother me, heck, Memento is like my favorite movie of all time. Anyway maybe I can't put it into better terms because I'm not a film student or anything, but it just felt like it was done wrong enough that even I was left with "blue balls" :lol:
