pdh1 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Any one see "the Grudge" this weekend? It was pretty damn scary! I have seen the original version from Japan (which this follows fairly closely) and it still freaked me out. I haven't heard an audience screanm that much in a theater since Jaws.
Thailog80 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I thought a grudge was when you took out an ex-girlfriends best friend?

I never thought an audience could scream as much as they did when I saw Dawn of the Dead last spring.
pdh1 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 I thought a grudge was when you took out an ex-girlfriends best friend? 82043[/snapback] No, that would be "the Grudge F**k". Hopefully that one will star Jessica Beal.
Thailog80 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 No, that would be "the Grudge F**k". Hopefully that one will star Jessica Beal. 82131[/snapback] Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Dawn of the Dead (20040 had the best opening 10 minutes of any horror movie, period. But in the Grudge, there is a great frigging scare right before the opening credits are done. I actually saw some one fall out of the seat it startled them so much.
T-Bone Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I saw this movie yesterday, and the audience I was with did not do anything but laugh. Very hokey story and it was all cheap scares like a cat jumping out at you and then when you turn around, a goofy looking ghost is about to get you. Gellar is going to beg Joss Wedon to make a Buffy movie, if she is going to pick films like this. When I was leaving the theater, a guy turned to me and said what a waste of money, I have to agree.
njsue Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I thought a grudge was when you took out an ex-girlfriends best friend? 82043[/snapback] Nah, its when you date your ex boyfriends older brother.
Tux of Borg Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Is it scarier than the Paris Hilton video?
SilverNRed Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Dawn of the Dead (20040 had the best opening 10 minutes of any horror movie, period. 82135[/snapback] I've said that to my friends about 1000 times. Couldn't agree more. Grudge isn't a sequel to The Ring, but a sequel to The Ring comes out next Spring. There's a teaser trailer out now.

There was group like that in Saving Private Ryan who were actually laughing at storming of Normandy scene in the first twenty minutes. Two other horror movies coming out that look good: Saw http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/reviews.php?id=375 High Tension (haute tension): http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/reviews.php?id=322
Fezmid Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Just saw the movie this afternoon. It was a pretty scary/freaky movie. Highly recommended if you're in the mood to be scared. CW
wwovince Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 My g/f and I went to theaters tonight and chose to see Saw this weekend and Grudge next. I have to say besides a couple of gory spots is was a dumbass movie. Hopefully the Grudge will be better.
IBTG81 Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 The Grudge was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's close between that and Dark City. The movie was HORRIBLE. I'd rather watch 4 hours of the Bills offense.

Worst Movies Ever (in no particular order) Glitter Battlefield Earth Godzilla (american version 1998) Mannequin Catwoman and anything directed by Michael Bay
