I saw this movie in the theaters when I was 16 with a friend. We sat through half of it before we were so freaked out we ran out of the theater. I slept with the light on for a week. I think what freaked me out was the fact there was no way to stop the ghost from killing you. I watched the whole thing when it came out on video with my older brother. He made funny commentary throughout the movie that helped me not to be so scared. Because of how scared I was when I saw it, and I was 16, I really don't think it's appropriate for 15 or younger.
Is not scary (1st and 2nd) however the 3rd one is just a little bit scary. This is the high end side of a J-Horror film. Dont watch this movie if you have not watched The Ring. Ju-On the grudge my be more scary then this film (The Japan version).
This Japanese based film has its moments. Scambled plot might become irritating.
The Grudge is a blend of Japanese and American cinema. Most of the thrills are interrupted but it still has its moments. The storyline/plot is scrambled and it requires the pieces to be put together.
The Grude isn't for the immature type. Its a very serious film and has a very intense and dark tone. The flick will truely be appreciated if the viewer actually pays attention to the storyline. In the end, this is rewarding for fans looking for a gore free horror flick. Its smart and has the scream queen herself Sarah Michelle Gellar worth the watch for a few good jumps and a very well developed plot!
First off this movie is scary. Not gory or extremely violent. I got creeped out watching it and decided it was not for my 11 year old daughter. I like to sleep at night and she would of been freaked out for weeks I'm sure. This type of movie is much better than slasher type or gore filled movies. My 18 year old daughter was evne freaked out for a few days after watching. All that said if you enjoy spooky movies without the gore go for it. Make sure you turn down the lights first before watching !
If you want something truly scary and hair-raising, this is a great movie to rent!
Not as scary as The Ring, but then again, that would be almost impossible!
I loved it! The part when the creepy woman comes up the bed was scary! I wasnt really scared by it because i thought the murdered woman looked like my cat! Uhggh your sure 2 love it! not scary but you may feel quite uncomfertable in your bed at night! mwahhahahahahah!
