it was fine :\
SPOILERS!!! very confusing, i didnt know what was goin on half the time. there were some scenes that made me jump,but i jump in almost any movie (narnia,happy feet lol). A suggestion 4 a good horror movie is the exorcist or the shining ( they're my favs).But there wasn't really anything wrong with this movie other than alot of the scenes the scary girl looked fake, to me anyway and that it was confusing, i didn't understand the story very much other than this girl had a crush on this guy and then her husband killed her and whenever any1 goes in the house they die, kinda like the ring i think.

Noooo...
This movie was scary so if you're just watching it to be scared you should watch it. If you're going to watch it to be scared AND see a good film that's fast-paced, well acted and has a good script don't even bother. It was scary but it was also very boring and just dumb. I just bought Ju-On, the original, so we'll see how that goes.

The Grudge
I saw this movie when I was 11 and personally, if your child is at a sleepover, you know that usually that there's a scary movie. I saw this at a sleepover with my friends and I do have to admit it is a great scare, it's probably one of the scariest films of all-time. It's extremley fun to watch this movie with friends, as a lot of horror films. I think that if you have a mature 12 year-old it's okay to let them see it. If they're 13 then, its pretty okay. If they're 14 they can definitley watch it. This movie is unlike a lot of scary movie NOW, which usually have extreme sexual content, language, and gore. This movie has minimal sexual content. Doesn't have a lot of language, it's appropraite for a soft PG-13. The gore is not that gory this movie leaves a lot to the imagination about how people die. I think that if you're child wants to see it and you know that they'll be able to handle it, you should let them see it. Great film.

Too scary for even older teens
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.

This was an Ok movie, but I just don't think it's even that scary. Just creepy with a bunch of creepy images. I mean, i watched this with a FOUR YEAR OLD and she wasn't scared at all about the scary parts. I didn't really undertsand the plot, since it was all like a puzzle with a bunch of random scenes smushed together. But I personally thought the actors and actresses did an OK job at acting. I also had to admit, after watching the movie and i was ready to go to sleep, all those creepy images came back and scared me half to death. The ending in my opinion was horrible. I was really wondering what would happen next, but OF COURSE they cut it off right when it was getting good. The Ju-on Version, (Japanese version) is WAYYY better. Overall, okay movie that you can watch in your past time, but nothing special. :L

Confusing plot, No character definement, unfrightening and overrated.
The Grudge is a horror movie that can be scary to some children under 12.
For me, I thought it was lame. There was some suspence, but much worse than some of the suspence in "the hole", which somewhat ruined it for me. There was some gore and frightening scenes; several odd and freaky occurences occur to people throughout the movie. A woman is shown without her jaw, and a bloody, rotting dead body is found which comes alive..
The plot was confusing. There were so many characters; the movie had so little character development that it was hard to understand what was happening and why events were happening. The plot somewhat makes sense at the end, when a background story is revealed, but leaves a lot of confusing, unanswered questions. All in all, not a very frightening or suspenceful movie, should be okay for ages 11 and up. (if they are not easily scared)

Terrible.
My rating: PG-13 for terror/violence content involving references to suicide, some frightening images and a scene of sexuality.

Can't be bothered thinking of a relevant title
Absolutely lame horror! I am a big scary movie fan and I have seen alot of movies but this is not a very scary one!
Apart from one very gruesome moment with a ripped of jaw (but the build up is obvious - close your eyes!) I think it's fine for 12 year olds that have been newly exposed or fresh to horror!

Rated 15 for persuasive terror, horror sequences and disturbing images
'The Grudge' is a decent horror movie. However, it is certainly not for children. This film is very scary (a little too scary for me) with plenty of disturbing images. It is not as violent as everyone says, though. The only graphic scene is when a woman is shown without her jaw. Personally, I would recommend this film, but only if you want to be scared.

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).

Very Boring, But Also Rather Creepy
Some of the younger kids may find this one to be too scary or upsetting. The main theme of the movie revolves around the spirit of a woman named "Kayako" and she looks pretty creepy. Not grotesque or anything, but she just appears rather frightening. She also emitts a noise (similar to a coffee maker), that some kids may find unsettling. The movie isn't very violent, just creepy. There's one scene that young viewers will most likely find disturbing: in the movie, there is a scene where police find a severed jaw lying in a person's basement; we later see the person with their jaw missing, and their tongue hanging out. Other than that, there's not much severe violence.
The movie is free of any nudity or questionable content (with the exception of the fact that one boy is nude through almost the entire film, but nothing untoward is shown). We also see a girl in the shower, but it is only from the shoulders up.
Language actually isn't a major problem.
I, for one, wouldn't recommend this movie. It's very boring. The acting is awful, the script is bad, and everything is very, very slow.
