Quite scary - The Grudge review by Cherry
This is quite a scary film, but not as amazing as the DVD extras would have you believe. Not quite enough background to the characters but the plot is quite clever. Like the way it moves backwards and forwards in time. Mabee the Japanese version is better than this Americanised one - hard to believe it would work if the cast and crew are speaking 2 diffferent languages.

Was that it? - The Grudge review by CP Customer
I couldnt see any point to this film. the plot had potential but it never came off. not at all creepy, and i scare easily so you know how weak it was. does the end leave scope for a follow on?

Decent J-Horror remake. - The Grudge review by CP Customer
After Gore Verbinski's 2002 remake of 'The Ring' this is probably the best J-Horror remake of recent years. The film is more or less a scene for scene remake of Takashi Shimizu's original film and though Michelle Geller is a lightweight as ever, the actual film is pretty good.
