Very impressive in its use of sound and music to relay horror brought about by nasty spirits, and there isn't a lot of talking, either. Instead, the viewer is witness to creepy visuals which are largely influenced by Japanese culture's scary Horror tropes. I will admit that I haven't seen the original Japanese movie that "The Grudge" remakes, but I need to because I really enjoyed this American-ized version.

SMG as Karen Davis is fantastic in this. This and Ju-On: The Curse are probably my two favorite Ju-On/Grudge movies. The extended Directors Cut is the definitive version of the film to watch, the theatrical cut can leave to some questions. Definitely worth a watch during Halloween :D

This was a lot scaries when I was 11... Now; not so much. At least it's a decent movie?

It was supposed to be scary but it kinda didn't have a great scary feel to it.

Good remake. Cannot compete with the original whoooaaa... Weird feeling. But still a good remake that shows you how good the original was.
