I took my niece to see "The Grudge" last night. I was holding on to her almost the entire time. I thought it was pretty creepy, but I haven't seen many scary movies to compare it to. I was genuinely scared and I enjoyed it very much. Anyone else see it? Thoughts?
Anyone See The Grudge?

How old is your niece? My pre-teen daughter asked if we could go see it. I don't do well with scary movies - but she is really keen on scary stuff, so I feel reluctant to take them.

Scully,
My neice is 13 and she was very scared but handled it fine. I did have my reservations, but because it was PG-13, I figured it would be alright. She has two preteen brothers and I don't think that I would take them to see it though...

I've seen the original japanese one - not the remake. I thought it was really good, and the czarina was terrified and had to turn it off. she came back though, curiousity being what it is.
It's a damned good story and just proves that the Japanese know a thing or two about scaring the shite out of people.
Check out Tomie (The Girl Who Can't Die) or something like that if you liked the Grudge.

I just saw it last night and thought it was terrible. I didnt care the least about the characters and was simply bored and disappointed the whole way through. Prolly a good scary flick for the young teenage crown but for someone as old and sophisticated as I (feel free to laugh your ass off here), it was simply terrible.
I will admit that I jumped in a few spots here and there but only because they HAD to throw in the occasional screaming face in order to get any reaction at all. It seemed like a VERY bad ripoff of the Ring is all (which was an excellent movie BTW).

P.S. It would have been a much better movie is Sarah Michelle Gellar would have taken her shirt off at least once.

My son took his girlfriend to see it. He said it wasn't all that good. I used to love scarey movies but they seldom scare me anymore. The closest i've seen lately to a good scarey movie is 'Darkness Falls'. It's a story about the tooth fairy.
