Editorial Reviews

This American remake of director Takashi Shimizu's popular Japanese movie franchise The Grudge puts Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar back into the line of supernatural fire. When Karen (Gellar), an American student working with a Japanese health center for college credit, comes across a mysterious curse, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a fight for her own sanity, and, ultimately, her very survival. Known as a "grudge," the curse was born inside of a house after its inhabitants died while consumed by rage -- according to legend, the curse touches all who come into contact with it, and will torment those unlucky individuals until they, too, become part of the grudge . Each time the curse finds a new victim, it is, in a sense, reborn, and will continue on its path unless Karen can free herself from its control over her. This version of The Grudge is also directed by Shimizu, and features Jason Behr, Clea DuVall, Kadee Strickland, William Mapother, and Bill Pullman in supporting roles. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

Scary? No. Comical? Yes.by Anonymous

March 26, 2007: This film is a very sad affair. The makeup was lacking and completely unispired. Sure, audiences have seen their share of pale, sinewy, and veiny ghouls that vibrate across walls and floors. It was scary for a time and is still downright creepy. However, these ghouls are of a plainer variety and make dry, choking sounds as if in need of a cool beverage. That or they meow like a cat. I get the symbolizm, it is simple enough for a child to comprehend, but whether or not one gets the concept is hardly the point. The point of this film is to shock, to scare, to frighten. All it achieves from this end though is a few giggles each time I see that long, black-haired clown pop her head out of closets or other random compartments. If you are easily scared by silly and pretentious makeup then by all means buy this. Then, to really top off your AMAZING movie collection you can buy a copy of Gigli.

November 08, 2006: For awile now, scary movies have been about gore, and a man that always seems to catch up to his victims just by walking. Luckily the Grudge brings a different side to horror. Sarah Michelle Gellar makes the character more believable, and has the ability to cry at the snap of a finger. The storyline is awesome, and the way the curse beganis great.
