Fantasticly terrifying! The Grudge is a worthwhile horror movie and a "must see" for any horror fan. Its actually a remake of a Japanese horror movie, which is reportedly the scariest movie ever made. An after seeing The Grudge, I wont argue.

Particularly good is the opening lines to the movie, that mention that when a person dies ...  Read the complete review

The original, Japanese version of the grudge is, and always will remain one of my favourite J-horrors of all time. This is probably because it;s one of the most compelling. The storyline is gripping; the tale of a family torn apart by jealousy unfolds at an alarming rate, and with more twists and turns than a roller coaster ride. While the gore is kept to a minimum, it's not needed; the shock factor and creepy atmosphere that runs throughout the film, particularly surrounding the house around which the plot centres, is more than enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. The chilling scenes featuring the ghost, Kayako, are terrifying; she is ...  Read the complete review
