It's not the scary hit that The Ring was in 2002, but The Grudge makes a similarly convincing case for American remakes of popular Japanese horror films. Barely a year passed between the release of Takashi Shimizu's creepy ghost story Ju-On: The Grudge and the production of this American remake, set in Tokyo and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in her first post-Buffy horror film. About the only significant difference between the two films is the importing of a mostly-American cast (including Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and Grace Zabriskie), but The Grudge was reconfigured (by screenwriter Stephen Susco) to allow Shimizu to refine and improve the spookiest highlights of his earlier version, which enjoyed previous incarnations as a short film and two made-for-Japanese-video features. Surprising box-office analysts with a $40 million opening weekend, The Grudge may disappoint hard-core horror fans because it lacks gore and graphic violence, but as a creepy tale about a very haunted house, it's guaranteed to send a few chills up your spine. --Jeff Shannon

 The Grudge February 7, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Karen Davis is a woman residing in Japan with her boyfriend, who is studying there. Temporarily assigned to be caretaker for a woman with severe sleeping disorder, Karen goes to the patient's house. What she finds is something she would never expect. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Now, Karen finds herself being tormented by that curse, as it eventually starts claiming it's victims. The Grudge does a great job of keeping you guessing. If you're looking for some entertainment, then The Grudge will give you some good jumps and surround you with creepy imagery.

If you thought the first one was ok, then you will love this. I have never seen a directors cut so different than what I saw on the big screen. He made it more creepy with the Japanese flair. This should have been released originally, and they would have had more fans!
 Extremely frightening September 17, 2009
Bernard Blake (Texas, USA)
This is an extremely entertaining movie for those that wish to be scared. Quite similar to The Ring but I have to admit that in overall Grunge is even better (I loved The Ring). The main difference between the two movies is that The Ring contains more plot while The Grudge concentrates on scaring the XXXX out of you. There are some very memorable scenes in this movie. Particularly unpleasant is a surveillance camera scene with a Japanese police officer seeing the ghost looking at him through the camera (reminds of the "girl going out of the TV screen in The Ring). Sarah M Geller is probably not "optimal" as the leading actress in this movie, although this may depend on the fact that I always associate her with the "less serious" Buffy series. Highly recommended to people with strong nerves.
