It had a couple of good "surprise" moments but the overall story was far from unique and the ending left me going "Huh? I watched this movie for that?" I don't recommend this one at all!   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

When a whole movie theater clears out before the credits have begun, something is definitely wrong.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

It didn't have enough of the psychological horror that I was promised and at times it was a bit predictable.   (3 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

The similarities in style are no coincidence: like The Ring, The Grudge is also a remake of a Japanese film (Ju-on: The Grudge; Takashi Shimizu, who directed the Japanese version also directed this American version) But, whether it was because I was used to such imagery from watching The Ring or they just didn't have the same oomph, this didn't do it for me. The setting is Japan: An American student named Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) gets a gig caring for a pretty much catatonic elderly woman in this nice but creepy house. Thing is, the place is tainted by a violent past which ends up destroying everything that comes through its doors. Even though Gellar admittedly didn't do a bad job as far as acting goes, and the imagery was kind of spooky, it still didn't deliver. A little predictable, not enough mystery. Kind of disappointing.   (3 people found this comment helpful, 2 did not)
