Synopsis

This American remake of director Takashi Shimizu's popular Japanese movie franchise The Grudge puts Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar back into the line of supernatural fire. When Karen (Gellar), an American student working with a Japanese health center for college credit, comes across a mysterious curse, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a fight for her own sanity, and, ultimately, her very survival. Known as a "grudge," the curse was born inside of a house after its inhabitants died while consumed by rage -- according to legend, the curse touches all who come into contact with it, and will torment those unlucky individuals until they, too, become part of the grudge . Each time the curse finds a new victim, it is, in a sense, reborn, and will continue on its path unless Karen can free herself from its control over her. This version of The Grudge is also directed by Shimizu, and features Jason Behr, Clea DuVall, Kadee Strickland, William Mapother, and Bill Pullman in supporting roles. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

This is a wonderfully scary film, I highly enjoyed it. It has a high creppiness factor and uses the simplest sounds in ways that will scare the pants off you. Gellar does a great job in this film.

The only reason I watched this movie was because I like Sarah Michelle Geller. This movie confused the hell out of me. after it was over I was like: WTF.

Remake of the Japanese horror movie - a house is haunted by the spirit of a woman who died in anger. This has fantastic effects and is truly scary. I'm not easily scared by horror movies but this one made me want to leave the lights on.
