The Grudge: 'You mistake me for someone who gives a shit'!



A house that’s haunted by spirits, including a little boy’s ghost, all painted blue. Since horror films need a little bit of lust back stand, these blue-lavender ghosts are naked, though exposed only till their shoulders.

A cheaply-weaved, badly translated and typical ‘This is my house’ mentality movie, the ghost couldn’t decide, whether to be a ghost or buy a comedian’s role in next Takashi Shimizu direction. What do they want? They just want to kill unknown people, with a tiger crack voice before the act. Pattern of killing is oh-my-lord cliché: they’ll pop out of your quilt, or hang out of your cupboard or will just ring you before they’ll make you swing. A bunch of ghosts who kill each other due to some really anonymous reasons that had got nothing to do with their future plans of killing people. The ghost plays hard to look smart, though breaks the logic of using human-common sense. It can call on an extension number, walk around and get captured in the camera, appears in the peep hole, and disappears the next moment: Yeah Dude, you have made it obvious that you’re a ghost, but what next? The film back fires horrendously with ghosts messing up with everyone involved in stepping into their house kills all of them, too bored to understand what to do next, and hopes to at least get another role  in the sequel part 2. Oh between, the ghost’s grudge is yet to be decided.

PS: Do not get confused between The Grudge and The Grudge Spoof in Scary Movie 4.
