1buck movie review: the grudge!!!!
ok im still shiveriing from this movie!!! the grudge is a movie based on a movie from japan called ju-on grudge (the full movie title) it was directed by the same guy who directed the one in japan but this one was produced
by Sam Raimi and bob tapert (of spider-man and army of darkness fame) in fact sam's brother has a role in this movie! it stars bill pulman (Independence Day) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Iknow What You Did Last Summer, Scobby Doo 1and 2, TV's Buffy the vampire slayer)! Well to understand the premese of the movie you need to look at what is beleved behind the movie! Everytime someone Dies in a state of fear a curse is born and the curse stays were the death occured and anyone that enters the place of death will be cursed themselves (which is japanesse legend)!
well when the movie starts we meet an exchange student from america (gellar) who gets asked to watch this older lady who according to the movie is a paronoid skitsophrenic who is being cared for by her son and daughter in law! Well as the movie continues we see different flash backs of what is happining (like what they do in anime sometimes) from this ladys children to a proffesser (Pulman) who has to find out about a student that live's at the house! well as the story continues you see why this curse was caused and what revolved around it!This movie looked like a horror version of lost in translation because of where the movie was filmed and how the american character's associated themselves with the Japanesse character's! i think Sarah Michelle Gellar was good in this movie she was very convincing as the character she played even though some people who still assosiate her with buffy may not like it that she has no karate moves in this movie! pulman does a good job with what he's given (30 mins of the movie) but it just makes it a liitle dumb to give him that much!!! when i saw the movie it looked a little like another movie "cough" the ring"cough" and it seemed a little weird to me! i give this movie a yellow light due to the fact that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and it did scare me a little (if it didn't scare me i would of gaven it a red light but because i was shivering ill give it a yellow light)! Rated PG-13 for scary ellements and sexual situations!
time: 1HR 36 Min produced by:Ghost House Pictures Realesed by: Columbia Pictures IF you liked this movie i recomend: The Ring (PG-13) The sixth sense (PG-13) The Haunting (PG-13) if you want a second opinion on this movie: Eric D Snider grade: C http://www.ericdsnider.com/view.php?mrkey=2267
