This movie is a remake of a Japanesse movie, Ju On, with the same director.
This IS a horror movie. Remind me of the Ring and this movie sure scares the hell of many people. I believe this western version is already milded down for western viewer but still it scared the hell of many of its audiences (I based this prediction according to how many people are screaming while watching this movie and how many of them are saying “that WAS damn scary” after the movie was over).
The story itself is quite simple, it is about a haunted house. Thru out the film the history of the haunted house began to reveal and between that lots of people died… in a gruesome way.
Like the movie, it sure one good movie to watch if you are a horror movie fans. You never look inside your attic the same way again…

i watched ju-on in the theatre about a month ago. omigosh, that was definitely one scary movie! for about 4 days after watching the movie, i couldn't sleep or take a shower without having images of the dead wife in my head!
well, i think the grudge is more milder than the original but it still give you the creep for days… =)
so, ju-on is japanese ?
i thought it was a korean! gyah!
well, i'm not really into horror movie. i can't help pouring popcorns all over when it comes to "BWAAAHHH!!!" part.
kalo menurut aku sih kalo di remake oleh bule jadi gak serem lagi, soalnya beda, setan versi amerika sama setan versi asia..:D
an: haha, with "the grudge" you will have lots of "BWAAAAH!!!" parts
bhima: hmm, menurutku sih tetep serem-serem aja tuh, cuma lebih mild alias gak belepotan darah dan onderdil tubuh ala jepang/asia, which is gross for my taste…
ini film baru apa vi?..hmm harus nonton ini
yg pasti di the grudge gak bakal ada ce2 asia yang lutu2 itu tuuuu… heheheheuheue..
