On DVD: The Grudge
"The Grudge" is the American remake of "Ju On", a Japanese film by Takashi Shimizu who directed both films. Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame stars in the American installment that grossed a staggering $183,000,000 worldwide, staggering for two reasons. Number one it only took about ten million to complete the film and number two The Grudge is an awful movie and a complete waste of time.
The basic, simple and unoriginal plot involves our heroine moving into a house that is haunted by someone that used to live there and died and now haunts everyone that comes in the house and....well you get the picture. Painfully slow storytelling and cardboard acting do nothing to help the film, you can only watch Gellar creep through the house and peep around corners for so long.
Do everything you can to avoid this movie and if you know someone that saw it and liked it...get them some help, fast.
