From filmmaker Sam Raimi (Spider-Man(r), Army of Darkness) and acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Shimizu comes a terrifying tale of horror in the tradition of The Ring and 28 Days Later. Sarah Michelle Gellar (TV’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer ) stars as an American nurse who has come to work in Tokyo. Following a series of horrifying and mysterious deaths, she encounters the vengeful supernatural spirit that possesses its victims, claims their souls, then passes its curse to another person in a spreading chain of horror. Now, she must find a way to break this supernatural spell or become the next victim of an ancient evil that never dies, but forever lives to kill.

First I just want to say I think the movie is OK but I think Ju-on(The Japanese Original) is better and anyone who likes The Grudge has to check it out. As for the product itself, it is pretty awesome, when you open the case it has a picture on the inside of the cover which I have not seen a lot of lately so it was nice to see this again. The Blu-ray has one disc that includes both Theatrical and Unrated versions but trust me when I say you are going to want to watch the unrated version, it’s sooooo much better. The Main Menu is nice and has many special features including 2 Ju-on short films called 4444444444 and In a Corner, if you are a big Ju-on fan you will know what these are but if not, they are pretty much scenes that explain what happened to certain characters in the Original made for TV Ju-on film Ju-on: The Curse. Anyway, it was nice to see those short films on here because I think they are really good. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars was because there was a little dent on the front of the case which I don’t really like because It looks pretty bad but I will probably just get a replacement case. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend.
 A Worthy Remake of an Excellent and Scary Japanese Horror Movie,

Buffy, it’s weird seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar as anything but Buffy, but she does a good job. Sure it’s still the same horror theme, but it’s more serious that her time as the Slayer.
The Grudge though is a one of my favorite horror movies. Yes I have seen the original Japanese version but I don’t speak Japanese and I prefer not to read my movies but I do actually watch a lot of subtitled stuff despite that. This is another Hollywood remake but not really, that just made it for the English speaking people and it works. The movie is as good as the original I think but some people might not like it as it doesn’t follow a straight line, it jumps around and you really have to pay attention. The movie sort of runs backwards to front and some might not like that. Japanese horror is great, but it’s very different from what people in the United States think of as horror and I think they did a good job at the translation or transition for American audiences. All in all The Grudge is a worthy addition to any horror movie fans collection surely and a bonus if you’re a Buffy fan! Frighteningly entertaining.,

Albough I had seen The Grudge in the theater, my family [fiancé and her son] had not; being close to Halloween, they wanted "to watch a scary movie" and this fit that bill quite nicely.
The story follows a young student care provider studying abroad in Japan played by Sarah Michelle Gellar who is assigned charge of an elderly woman suffering from dementia. What follows is a story of horror and suspense. Turn the lights out and the volume up and get ready for one of the best thriller/horror movies you’ve ever seen… |
