Raimi:The Grudge. Thats more like it
 

After having a dig at Raimi for being involved with that snorefest that was Boogeyman I feel the need to balance it up after seeing the remake of the Japanese horror The Grudge that Sam organised to be remade by the original director for Western audiences.I had avoided seeing it at the cinema due to having seen the original and not wanting to see a watered down American version.How wrong was I? I've just watched it on DVD and it is absolutely superb.It actually blows the original away and actually scared me which very few movies do these days.Sam needs to get this Japanese director signed up to make some more films because the horror genre has been crying out for someone with film making talent that he obviously has.

i think it is easily the best horror movie to come out of the USA in at least 5 years ..

:eek:

you got scared and peed your pants and got embarrased - didnt ya ..
come on admit it - thats why you dont like it :)

I thought it was boring, meandering, inconsistent, unnecesarrily non-linear, and much of it was just ridiculous.

Where is Hellfire1, she is my backup on this. she hated it too :)

zzzz.... hmm ? wha ? oh you're talking about the grudge ?


ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz........




:p

How can people find it boring??? It had a climax every 5 minute?

:cool:

i saw ju-on before The Grudge (american version) so I knew what to expect... Nevertheless I enjoyed it a little more because it explained a lil bit more and the effects were better. Both movies are very good though.

I'm American!!! I love my movies short! I want everything explained to me! I want CGI special effects and big name actors!!! Go USA!

Complain as much as you will about big name actors, explanations and cgi effects, but hollywood wouldnt keep churning that shit out if people didnt pay them to do it.

And i still think it was boring, meandering and pointless. I still find the exorcist creepy as hell, but the grudge bored and annoyed me. I thought they hit just around what could have actually been scary, but missed it....
