The Grudge (2004)
4/10
not scary, but funny
7 November 2004
this is one of those movies that are so bad that they just start getting funny after awhile, the greatest moment of the movie was when the mommy ghost pulled a classic loony toons move (she was in front of Gellar's character, then Gellar backed up opened a closet, and the ghost popped out behind her) some of the effects were pretty good, like Yoko's ghost/zombie looked good and creepy, but the movie failed to give enough plot for the visuals to be able to be scary beyond the initial shock factor. I also liked how they did the one ghosts hair, but yet again, it's just good visuals. I like a movie that can give you a reason to be scared after it's over (i.e. The Exorcist) The Grudge was totally dependent on cheap shock horror, and left you with nothing after the credits started. It was mostly horror eye candy, there wasn't much to it. I'd give it a 4/10 just because I liked it visually.
