I just watched Ju-On (The Grudge)... - GoFuckYourself.com

What a steaming pile of blown chunks

WTF?

I'm thinking maybe I need to watch it again to "get it" but I feel rather cheated of the time I spent watching it the first time

I can't think of a worse movie experience in the past decade... maybe 2

The only nice thing I can say is the movie had a great website.

I watched it last week. It freaked me out some, but wasn't a great cinematic effort. And I think it may have lost something in translation.. the end didn't make a whole lot of sense, and the time jumps were hard to follow.

Bad bad movie........both Ju-On and the Grudge were pretty bad. I watched Ju-On a while back and I was very! disappointed with it. It had potential but it just seemed to fall short somewhere. Then I saw the Grudge when it came out.......I was thinking that it would be an improved version of the Japanese version, but I'll be damned, it was almost an exact clone of Ju-On. Good thing I didn't actually pay to see it or I would have really upset. I would have hoped that the filmmakers would have elaborated on the movie much like when the movie Japanese movie Ringu was remade and released as the Ring.

Lol wait till you see Ju-On 2. You won't understand a thing. It's even more confusing than the first one.

I don't think it was the translation... the movie had it's native soundtrack with subtitles. It's like the producer watched a bunch of cheesy acted 70's thrillers that had been dubbed in his language then attempted to do the same with English subtitles. Bloody awful. I have a 2000+ channel satellite system and I watch way more than my share of stuff that qualifies as royal crap then simply change the channel but this one stopped me in my tracks and screamed for me to warn others. I hope I never make such a waste of 92 minutes again
