Grudge, The
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as an American student in Tokyo who comes into contact with a terrible haunting. US remake of Takashi Shimizu's Japanese horror
A unique hybrid of Japanese and American sensibilities, The Grudge is director Takashi Shimizu's umpteenth return to a scenario he created for a student film. There's something almost Zen about the fact that Shimizu made the original video version (2000), then made a semi-sequel that repeated whole chunks, then remade it again as a theatrical feature in 2003 - which also got the sequel treatment. It's boggling to think how he must feel about making it yet again, but with a screenplay written by an American (Stephen Susco) and many of the formerly Japanese characters surreptitiously replaced by Americans.
Yawn
I had heard good things about this movie, but I found myself totally disappointed. The movie is scary in places, but this is simple quick shocks, rather than something which give you nightmares. The characters are, at best, 2 dimensional, tired and cliched. The story is fairly weak, no twists or turns in plot, just a convoluted method for revealing what has already happened. On the plus side the disc is shiny and you may well be able to use it to put on your makeup/rearrange your toupe.
Grudge, The
Single of the most relentlessly horrendous movies of the year.

I was blown away... put in order your nerves proper for a give one the impression beating.
