Did anyone else see the Grudge? - Page 5

Stockwell, if you ever do have a chance to see the original Ju-On: The Grudge, I'd really suggest giving it a try, as it has a much better ... scare-factor.. It has a completely different atmosphere than the Americanized one, and you might not find it as boring ... Plus there's more storylines and you wouldn't get as bored as easily!!

one question about the movie, why does the little boy sound like a cat?? freaky but why?

Stockwell · 10-25-04, 05:15 PM

I think they simply chose what was deemed to be scary, in a traditional Americana sense...
Why did the woman make those weird clicking noises? ... and didn't we hear those same noises on another movie... like Aliens or something
Actually I didn't have a problem with the sounds, but that mixed up times lines thing, was annoying, and that house was very bland and sparsly furnished, not the least bit scary.. If it didn't have an attic there would have been nothing scary about it at all. I really think haunted house movies, should start with a house that at least looks somewhat ominess, not like it needs a visit from designer guys..

As a stark contrast, check out Stephen King's Rose Red... , now thats a house!!

Rose Red kicks a**! Now that's a scary house! Although the Amityville horror was also pretty freaky for being an older movie.

Well saw this movie friday and liked it but I thought the ring was freakier. There were two idiots behind us that kept complaining it was boring doesnt' make sense blah blah. Personally I wanted to tell them to go find a disney movie, yeah know something their challenged intelects could understand. Still want to see the original Juon and Ring0.
Rose Red is a phenomenal movie as are most of Kings works, his books rock and once I start one I do nothing until I finish it ( with the exception of tommy knockers hated the first 1/3 of that book too slow) , thankfully I'm a fast reader!! LOL.

I'm a huge fan of scary movies. I saw the grudge last night. At the beginning I thought it was kind of stupid but between the middle and the end of the movie I will admit I was a bit creeped out. Did anyone else see this movie? Any thoughts?

I just got back from watching it. I found it to be quite good but im still looking forward to viewing the original. I heard its playing in some theatres in down town toronto.

Hey! Anyone see the movie SAW? Just saw it today, it's new as of today. I didn't find it too scary but it was a good watch and the twist ending will throw ya!! enjoy

CDN-Cresties · 10-30-04, 11:51 PM

One more thing, the grudge is actually a four part series. Im going to get them off ebay. For those have you that seen the movie, DONT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE ENDING!!!!

When SMG walked into the room with her dead boyfriend, the door closed behind her with the nurse in the room. Anyone else notice this? She kinda looked like the women who was murdered(the grudge)...Anyone else notice this or Im I going crazy.

I saw it last week and loved it! I found it really scary, i can't remember the last time i've screamed in a movie theater. I haven't seen the japanese version but i would certainly like to see it!

katev17 · 11-01-04, 09:50 PM

Hiya just to let you know...

It's not a 4 part series =)

There's Ju-On: The Grudge 1 and 2

AND

There's Ju-On: The CURSE 1 and 2.... which are actually made-for-TV versions of the first 2! Ok just thought I'd let you know... =)

Melly some time you can come over and watch it at my house (although my house is creepy enough as it is that you don't have to watch a movie to make it worse)

Kate.

CDN-Cresties · 11-01-04, 10:13 PM

I heard that the first two are different than the others. I heard they give more background information of the curse. Either way I still want to watch them

CDN-Cresties · 11-01-04, 10:16 PM

I got this from a ju-on forum.

The despite the confusing and apparently corresponding numbering and having some aspects in common, the theatrical films are not remakes of the V-cinema films; it's best to regard them as four consecutive parts of a single saga.

It was creepy, no question. If I'm going to watch escapist entertainment, then I'm going to immerse myself in it and make it believable. Anyone could sit back and say the Lord of the Rings trilogy was crap, but if you don't take the time to enjoy all the sights and sounds, NO movie is ever going to be enjoyable.
