The Grudge

[allmykids]

:D It's a horror film Staring SARAH MICHELLE GELLER, and BILL PULLMAN. On The trailer they show sarah in the shower washing her hair and they show fingers comming out of the back of her head!! LOOKS KILLER!!! Comes out 10/22/2004!!

[KRUGERKID13]

yeah looks good but i dont like remakes of japanese horror films since i dont like japanese horror films. I thought the ring looked good to but man was i wrong

[eBuzzz]

When I heard they were doing a remake of Ju-On, I got excited. Then, when I heard that Sarah Michelle Geller was going to play the lead... Why her?
I haven't seen the original Ju-On but I heard it's real popular in Japan. I've seen clips of it as well as the first 8 minutes of it on IFilm.com and it looks real corny. But now that the director of Ju-On is doing the remake here in America with a much bigger budget and a cast of much better actors and visual effects, I hope that the American remake will be great.
The trailer for it looks real awesome. And from what I saw of it, Sarah's not too bad. In the trailer, I noticed a few similarities to Ringu and The Ring being the oval shaped mirror and the pale girl with huge eyes and hair shrouding her face. In an interview with the director, Takashi Shimizu, he says that that's how ghosts in Japan are described looking like.
I do hope that The Grudge will be a success and then go on to having a sequel or two like The Ring which has a sequel due out next year and a prequel sometime after that. Speaking of The Ring 2, Daveigh Chase isn't returning! What kind of bullsh*t is that?
Another Japanese horror movie making its way to American theaters is Dark Water starring Jennifer Connelly.
In an interview done by IFilm.com, Sarah Michelle Geller says that The Grudge is a more scarier than The Ring. The trailer makes it look like an awesome horror movie. But look what trailers did to The Village. I'll take Sarah's word and watch this movie right when it comes out and hope that Japanese horror in America becomes a brand new Hollywood trend that will never die.

[Hate_Breeder]

Please dont tell me they're making an american remake to Ju-On...

I saw an ad for it on Yahoo i think and it has Sarah Michelle Gellar in it :rolleyes:

[hellfire1]

yup! i read an article about it. with sarah "buffy" michelle gellar, jason "roswell" behr (oh, that's promising!). but also bill pullman, clea duvall, and ted raimi, brother of producer sam raimi.


this should be... interesting!

[Hate_Breeder]

I hope it doesnt fall through. Oh well it should be interesting..

it actually looks like it could be a decently creepy movie. reminds me a lot of the ring, but with a lot more little kids, making the movie a lot more creepy.

little kids+horror movie= **shudder**

[theslowwizard]

I'm going to go see it. Looks promising.

I haven't seen the original yet either.

I'll probably enjoy both.

[thepsychicfetus]

when exactly does this movie come out?

..anyone?

[theslowwizard]

October 22

im actually kinda looking forward to it, just to see what scenes they keep and what new stuff they do with it. like dawn of the dead. should be interesting...

i thought the preview looked pretty good ... it looks pretty promising

Do you know where to find the trailer?

[thepsychicfetus]

i used to, but for some reason i can't find it anymore...

[systemshock]

http://www.apple.com/trailers/

[thepsychicfetus]

there we go

[MrShape]

I'm willing to give this a shot. It's directed by the same guy who made the four Japanese films, so it should be interesting. I mentioned somewhere else that I've heard it's going to be part remake, part Juon 5. The trailer looks like a remake of the first Ju-on theatrical film (Ju-on 3, basically.). The same actress is back playing Kayako the murderous ghost, so It'll be interesting to see.

[Radical Edward]

i thought it looked sick as shit, and does resemble some japanese horror

HOWEVER, a bit cliche tho. come on, havent i seen this shit from somewhere else??

and the fact that it stars sarah michele gellar.. dropped madd points there

anyway, i was actually KINDA looking forward to it. probably will see it on base for free tho ;) (with a sexy man , that is)

GDIS

[MichaelMyers]

I think I'll pass and just watch the original.

[dantehorrorfan]

this movie looks cool im gonna go see it:D

[Nirvana]

Just read the new interview on this site with Sarah. Interesting read. The more I read about this movie the more I want to see it. I just hope that they didn't Americanize it too much. :)

I thought some of you might also be interested in an interview with the movie's screenwriter, Stephen at http://www.smgfan.com/StephenSusco.htm. That site is also doing an online Q&A with him at their unofficial The Grudge board.

[Dark_Hero]

Im definatly looking forward to this.

The cast could be....lacking? Ya, thats a good word, but Ill check it out ayway

[living_deadgurl]

There's a new horror film called the grudge........starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, damn it's been a while since she's starred in a major film ever since buffy went off the air...... but she's back and I'm also back in a DAMN big way!!!!!

COurse they will mate. Eveythings amercanized eventually. Dont talk to me bout the Italian job.

Dont think this will be good at all. Will prob buy it second hand in the future.

[Ninja Moo]

It looks interesting, as was mentioned children in scary movies equals horror at it's worst. (I'm still terrfied of corn fields to this day).

I'll see it whenever it's on DVD and Hollywood video runs the 2for $20 special.

[Sam The Egg]

well, it takes place in Japan so it might not be as Americanized as it could have been

[VenomX]

What is it even about? It looks like just another ghost movie.

[allmykids]

There are lots of threads on this, Why didn't you ask this ? in one of those threads???????????????????????????

[allmykids]

SEE HERE IS ONE!!!

[allmykids]

And another!! So you did not need to make a thread on the grudge!!! LOOK BEFORE YOU POST!!!

[Preacher]

About two hours i think.

[GorePhobia]

when i first saw the trailer i thought rip off of The Ring....then I looked in deeper and found out it was a remake of Ju:On....which is awwwsome.....but then I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar......and I thought please no dont fuck this movie up....also its a Sam Raimi production....well he presents it which usually sucks also since they did that with craven and those movies sucked....lets just hope this film lives up to what it should....

[flabby_man22]

that crazy crawling rotten chick in the traler does remind me of another crazy rotten chick crawling out of a tv

[youshouldvknown]

the dark haired "rotten chick" is some sort of boogeyman in Japan. I can't remember what she's about, but she's a prominent "scary story figure"... she has a name too, but I don't remember...

haha! I just watched the Children of the Corn last night

Sarah Michelle Gellar being in The Grudge does nothing to ruin it guys, during the last few seasons of Buffy she really came into her own as far as being more serious as an actor. The fact along that the Grudge is based on a japanese horror film, and that it has actually scared some people as they watch the trailer is enough to make it worth a try.

I think It should be great. I just saw behind the scences and it has the same director as JU:ON!!

[xI_dork_Ix]

I know it's based on jap horror stories, but I don't know exactly what the move is about. I think it looks fuckin awesome. < my opinion. I'm not usually into who's acting, I'm more into the story line, plot, and graphics. So "Buffy" doesn't bother me by being in it.

[Preacher]

Just watched Ju-On the grudge and then Jo-on 2 the curse.

Bloody brilliant. Never been so scared in my life.

A must see for all of you (the Jap edn that is)

[Shade]

Ju-On is wonderful so my hopes for this are high. My mother told me is was by the same director which boosted them even higher...though I'm doubtful she's right...

She's right. Ju-On and the remake have the same director. If you can, check out the E! Behind the Scenes. It's pretty good.. has interviews with the director, three of the actors and Sam Raimi.

Basically it's about the superstition that when someone dies in a state of terror and confusion (which, to me, would be an awful lot of people) there's a stain on the environment. Anyone who enters that environment is subject to that grudge and the revenge the deceased person is taking for dying in such an awful way.

It explains it in the trailer.

[allmykids]

OMG,OMG,OMG!! IT starts today!!! I'm I Excited?? HELL YES !!! :D

[Arioch]

Waits for the download.....no way im paying for it...

[Karkinos]

So...did anyone see it yet?

[mayoisthedevil]

just watched it...was pretty good but i hate the ending.

[JigSaw]

It was awsome and the ending was really cool.

[Sistinas]

I'm gunna go see it today, I can't wait!

[mayoisthedevil]

the ending was ok i guess, but it kinda reminded me too much of the ring. but over all a really good movie.

[DraculaInDallas]

Just got back from seeing it. Waste of $8.50, a real yawner. Slow and predictable.....you knew what was going to happen before it happened. All the scenes that were suppose to be scary everyone in the audience was laughing out loud, and after the final scene and the credits started to roll the entire theatre let out a "Oh come on, that's it???????"

There was one scene that reminded me of the 2 weeks I spent last year in Shanghai, China. In the grocery store trying to figure out what the hell stuff was and how much it cost....lol.
Also thought the Japanese Detective's throw back Columbo style trenchcoat was funny!

Anyway, that's my opinion. I guess what some find scary others find lame.....just another disappointment......holding out hope for SAW......:(

[Pumpkin Head]

Hey for all those in the UK and who have sky. The Sci Fi Channel are have a "Do you have a Grudge" weekend on the first week of November (I think it's the 4th or somethng). They are showing the original Japanese films for The Grudge and "for the first time on British TV' they are showing the Ringu trilogy. My husband hates horror films but I'm hijacking the TV for that weekend I can't wait!

[Angelakillsluts]

I thought the grudge was a really good movie. Am I completely alone? Am I the only one that found this movie really scary?

edit: err why can't I delete my posts??? sorry wrong forum

[Angelakillsluts]

[JDMX]

I saw it. My take? The story caught my attention. I loved the idea of being killed under extreme circumstances or what have it and a curse is born in place of death driving the victim to seek revenge. I just think it could have been told a little better. I'm not dissapointed though. I liked how it came out and It hit all the right nerves. I havn't been creeped out like that in a while. Hated the ending though. The website is good too.

[ShankS]

I take it you're talking about the Gellar one yeah?? if so, I dont know....aint seen it yet.

If you're on about the proper Grudges, then yeah I did like them, I found the sequals (grudge 2 & curse 2) to be much more creepy than their previous. counteparts.

only mods can do that.... they get moved to an 'unseen by us' forum iirc.

[newb]

I also have only seen the original version and I did indeed enjoy that. My daughter and son-inlaw just saw the new one and they both liked it.

[Sam The Egg]

one Jeffrey Danke of Topeka, Kansas saw the movie and LOVED it, so you're not alone in your opinion

[newb]

I can vouch for Jeff. He's good people.

[JC'STheThing]

it was scary, but the plot and acting stinks.... so give and take.

[GorePhobia]

i saw the flick yesterday...i thought it was pretty good......not as intense as i thought the rings feeling was but it was pretty was good.....eveyone is saying the ending sucked but hell I thought it was cool....overall i give it a 3 1/2 skulls out of 5

[thecritic]

I for one thought that the Grudge was very good. However, I was mildly disappointed in the actualy scariness of the film. I know i jump about 20 times in the movie, but in the end i found that i was thinking the stuff that happened was just screwed up as opposed to being scary. I still highly recommend it to everyone though

[phantomstranger]

Well I just saw "The Grudge" and I wish I had stayed home. It's not the worst film of all time but it's far from the best. Sarah Michelle Geller acts like she's asleep half the time. There are a couple of decent scares but nothing major and the "ghost girl" make's this strange prolonged belch noise. This film is a real disappointment.

[xI_dork_Ix]

I saw it, Like most said it's predictable, but it did hit all the right nerves, the plot and story line was good, I guess it just jumped back and forth too much with out saying this happened about a week ago, or a week later this happened...some how they didn't relate the dates to well. That's the only thing I didn't like.

[moviebuff]

Sorry I've been gone awile, been busy. But I saw the Grudge October 17 2 days after it first came out. And it was so messed up that movie is crazy. Like the freakiest movie I had ever seen. Any of you that have seen it know waht I'm talking about. Like the eyes, hands, and "under the covers" Great movie but freaky!!!!! GO AND SEE IT...NOT ALONE

I heard that the Japaneses version of the grudge is much sacrier then our version. If it is, it is going to be a kick ass movie to see. I loved the one we have I hoped to see the Japanese version :rolleyes:
