Editorial Review:

It's not the scary hit that The Ring was in 2002, but The Grudge makes a similarly convincing case for American remakes of popular Japanese horror films. Barely a year passed between the release of Takashi Shimizu's creepy ghost story Ju-On: The Grudge and the production of this American remake, set in Tokyo and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in her first post-Buffy horror film. About the only significant difference between the two films is the importing of a mostly-American cast (including Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and Grace Zabriskie), but The Grudge was reconfigured (by screenwriter Stephen Susco) to allow Shimizu to refine and improve the spookiest highlights of his earlier version, which enjoyed previous incarnations as a short film and two made-for-Japanese-video features. Surprising box-office analysts with a $40 million opening weekend, The Grudge may disappoint hard-core horror fans because it lacks gore and graphic violence, but as a creepy tale about a very haunted house, it's guaranteed to send a few chills up your spine. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars For any John Wayne Fan out there.......2007-05-06

I have been a Duke fan for a long time and Rooster Cogburn (... and the lady) is one of my favorites. This amazing DVD gives vivid beautiful color and enhanced sound that makes you feel like your there hunting "Hawk" with the one eyed brute himself "Rooster J. Cogburn, U.S. Marshal" I recommend this movie for any John Wayne fan or any western fan cause they just don't make movies like this anymore.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT !!!!!.......2007-01-03

GREAT! JOHN WAYNE AND KATHERINE HEPBURN HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY. VERY ENJOYABLE SHOW !!

5 out of 5 stars Rooster Cogburn.......2006-11-12

wonderful partnership of talent in this updated version of African Queen.
love the verbal jabs and duels. They do it so well!
definitely a keeper!

5 out of 5 stars Rooster Cogburn.......2006-11-09

This is a funny and touching movie with spectacular scenery. Katherine Hepburn is at her best as an independent single woman living in the old west who encounters John Wayne's character, Rooster. Together they make their way with a dangerous cargo through many obstacles. John Wayne is even better in this movie than he was in his academy award winning roll in True Grit. Sit back and enjoy this movie because it's well worth 2 hours of your time.

3 out of 5 stars Rooster cogburn movie-john wayne.........2006-08-23

I didn't like this movie so much,I felt I lost interest in it.somewhere in the story line.Katherine Hepburns acting was good.I felt I got bored as they were tracking the bad guys.It dragged out to long.No excitement.

      The Grudge 2 is a spooky installment in Takashi Shimizu's hardworking Ju-on/Grudge series of horror pictures. It doesn't carry the disorienting thrill of the very first Japanese Ju-on features, but it's a lot creepier than anybody could have expected. The story picks up from the end of the first Hollywood version of The Grudge, and has nothing to do with Ju-on 2, Shimizu's Japanese sequel. Sarah Michelle Gellar returns (a distinctly supporting role) as an American woman traumatized by her experiences with a haunted house in Tokyo; younger sister Amber Tamblyn flies over to help out. This particular storyline doesn't have much meat on it; the murder house is still there, and people who go inside have a disconcerting habit of dropping dead. Fortunately, two other plots thread into the basic one: a group of American schoolgirls in Tokyo become intrigued by the legend of the house, and some Chicago apartment dwellers are unsettled by domestic anxiety and the weird sounds coming from next door. (This storyline, featuring Jennifer Beals, gives the film its extremely satisfying opening sequence.) As usual with these movies, sequences come to us in non-chronological order, and it's up to us to piece it together. You can guess where the film is going, but the slow trajectory toward its final sequences is surprisingly involving. The movie was widely panned upon its release, which says more about the presumption of the law of diminishing sequel returns than the film itself--it's a decent little horror flick. --Robert Horton

        Following in the footsteps of The Ring cycle, the Ju-On series of horror films has taken Japan by the throat. According to this movie, the title refers to a curse placed upon a house where violence occurred. Sure enough, we see a string of unhappy encounters in a seemingly ordinary home, where ghosts have settled in the aftermath of murder. Director Takashi Shimizu (who also directed the Hollywood remake, The Grudge) constructs the picture out of separate fragments, not told in chronological order; the haunted house is the main character, not any one of the unsuspecting human characters. Cult mavens might suggest that Shimizu uses devices and images that have already worked well in films by Hideo Nakata and Kiyoshi Kurosawa--the Japanese horror film does have its conventions. But none of that matters if you're watching this movie alone at home on a dark night. Click, click, click.... --Robert Horton

        4 out of 5 stars *Meow* . . . Toshio? . . . Is that you? .......2007-02-15

        American Horror cinema has been in hibernation for too many years (or am I alone in thinking this?!) . . . and while we await a resurgence in original American horror, we give thanks for Asian Horror (note the word "original" because I have little interest in seeing remakes of "Texas Chain Saw," "Black Christmas," and "Halloween" . . . ohhhh yeah, just in case you didn't know, Rob Zombie is remaking Carpenter's "Halloween." Grrreeeaaatt.)

        But let's face it . . . Asian Horror accomplishes what American Horror rarely does (even the best of it) . . . it gives its audience "the creeps." It exploits every iota of the uncanny . . . leaving its audience a sweating, quivering wreck. Nonetheless, often times, you will find a delayed reaction to these films . . . you'll be driving home from work and instantly feel a cold shiver . . . "Toshio? Is that you?" Or worse, they appear in our nightmares . . . "Toshio? Is that you, again?" They work on a VERY deep, VERY subconscious level. Understand, there are rarely the "cheap thrills" that you find in American Horror, rarely the predictable scares . . . instead, the tension in these works builds to a skin-crawling crescendo. And Ju-On certainly is the quintessential example. (This film will show you why hiding under your covers is a VERY bad idea!!)

        The approach to Ju-On is rather surprising. It is a series of interconnected vignettes (think "Pulp Fiction"). And while this is initially confusing (especially if you experienced the American remake), it is a valuable approach . . . so, be patient. And if you do not understand everything the first time through, that's perfectly normal;) Many people enjoy multiple watches . . . enjoy unraveling its layers of mystery!

        Ju-On falls into the sub-genre of "Haunted House" . . . but not in the cheesy "Amityville Horror" way (which I actually love), but in a "Ummm, someone should burn down that house NOW" way. Trust me, you will never, EVER think of your attic in the same again!!

        As a final note about this film, take time to listen to the audio commentary reel . . . it is Sam Raimi!! If anyone has ever given America genuinely original horror, it is Sam Raimi (and Romero, but I digress!!)

        So, do not sit around waiting for the next great American horror film . . . I do not believe it is not coming anytime soon. Instead, watch Ju-On. And then watch Ringu, and Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara (the original "Dark Water"), and Marebito, and Audition . . . you get the picture;)

        4 out of 5 stars Great but sometimes hard to follow.......2007-01-14

        I personally loved Ju-on. This is the original movie that the american "Grudge" was based on. If you saw the american version it follows the original pretty well with a mix of america's sequal. It's in japanese and english dub. The only problem with this movie is that I can be hard to follow because you don't have a strict time line. You find yourself skipping around through characters and ultimately in a time warp. Sometimes you see what is happening now and in the past at the same time and you're not quite sure what is real. Other than that the movie is wonerful a suspense that is definately worth watching!

        3 out of 5 stars A Flawed But Worthy, And Occasionally Frightening, Dark Ghost Tale.......2007-01-10

        Several years ago, two made-for-tv movies were released in Japan - "Ju-On: The Curse 1" and "Ju-On: The Curse 2". Extremely well received, they spawned the theatrical movie "Ju-On: The Grudge", constructed so that it could be viewed either as a remake or as a sequel to the two earlier efforts (with the two "Ju-On Curse" movies being the only Ju-Ons I've yet to see, I can only speculate as to how the connections go, but that's the story anyway). The theatrical movie would go on to spawn a Japanese sequel (with a third entry reportedly in the works), plus an American remake and its sequel (which is actually totally unconnected to the Japanese "Ju-On: The Grudge 2").

        The basic premise, apparantly based on real legends from Japanese folklore, is this: when a person dies unnaturally, in the grips of powerful emotions like rage, they sometimes fail to pass on to the afterlife but instead become a 'Ju-On', a restless, violent spirit bent on havoc. Those who die at the hands of one of these Ju-Ons become new Ju-Ons themselves, and the curse spreads in this way. In this movie, a young Japanese health-care worker who makes rounds to different homes to care for the infirm, has as one of her patients an elderly woman who has recently moved with her family into a new home. Unfortunately for all, this home is inhabited by Ju-On spirits.

        It's a great premise, with wonderfully bizarre visually imagery and some genuine frights, including the unearthly, absolutely creepy sounds that emanate from the Ju-On ghosts. Unfortunately, a lot of the movie doesn't make sense. It's not the Ju-Ons themselves - I love horror movies where a rational explanation for the supernatural phenomena is never uncovered; it often adds to the atmosphere of mystery, eerieness and fright. It also wasn't the unusual way the story was told, flashing through different time periods; it was a little bit hard to follow (perhaps more so than it should have been given the cryptic, attention-demanding nature of the few other movies that have used a non-linear story like this but remained fully comprehensible; perhaps it would have worked better if I'd gotten to see the two "Ju-On Curse" movies first) but it was innovative and allowed the film to follow some really unexpected paths. The parts that I just couldn't figure out involve the human characters.

        For example, early in the movie the home health care worker is shocked to discover a strange, silent little boy locked up behind some boards in a room upstairs. She immediately rushes to the phone to report this, but (though the scene itself doesn't last this long) one gets the impression she leaves him alone up there for about twenty minutes while talking to the authorities on the phone, and then fretting about what to do next. Wouldn't any remotely rational person have tried not to leave the kid alone for any longer than absolutely essential, and try to talk to him and see if he's alright, try and get him to tell them who did this? There are a couple of other examples of this level of illogical behavior from different characters later in the movie (I don't want to get too specific there; I used the example I did because it happens so early in the movie) so it can't be attributed to one character just being overcome by shock and therefore acting in an unwise way - almost everybody seems to act in implausible ways. In the case of one example later in the movie, I've heard it suggested that it may be a cultural thing - that people in different parts of the world would react differently. I don't think I can fully accept that explanation - react differently to certain things, maybe, but everybody consistently reacting in ways to seem to defy all common sense and all credibility (the reactions of the characters in 1981's "Madman" look believable compared to some of the behaviors in here)? Besides, I've never found that problem of repeated implausibility in any other Japanese movies I've seen. Just using horror as an example, "Audition", "Infection" and "Ringu", to name a few, all made sense.

        Credit where it's due: despite these flaws, the characters somehow stay interesting and even likable. It's just that these strengths could have been so much more effective without the contrasting flaws.

        Production-wise, "Ju-On: The Grudge" looks and sounds beautiful, as is par for the course with most Japanese productions. The country's filmmakers as a whole seem to take the importance of things like lighting, cinematography, sound, etc., very seriously, and the results are impressive. The acting is high caliber, although again, I have to wonder how much more impressive it could have been if not for the character implausibilities.

        Overall, the movie is still worth seeing for its own sake, but it's especially reccommended for one reason: it leads right into "Ju-On 2", which is a tremendous movie. And one probably should see this one first, even though it and the American remake are extremely close. "Ju-On: The Grudge" is a good movie in spite of its shortcomings, it's just not anywhere near the cream-of-the-crop in the rich field of Asian horror.

        5 out of 5 stars Ju-On the GREAT.......2007-01-04

        I loved The Grudge...until I watched Ju-On! Now I am hooked on the Asian version...and the Asian counterparts of all English version films. After watching Ju-On, I decided to start watching all the other Asian versions of horror/thriller movies that I liked in English. The Asian versions are SO much better!
        If you like The Grudge, do yourself a BIG favor and buy Ju-On. You will not be disappointed.

        4 out of 5 stars What scary used to be..........2006-11-14

        I saw this movie a few years back and loved it. It truly had me spooked throughout the whole film. I played it for a few friends and family one winter night (aged 15 through 70) and everyone was jumping and screaming from start to finish. It was great fun for everyone and they still bring it up to this day. I lent my copy out and (unfortunately) never got it back. Now I am buying it for the second time (I recently purchased a projector and this one will be played outside on the wall of my house). I seriously recommend this one!

          With vanity projects like 1989's schlocky Lock Up to his credit, it's a wonder Sylvester Stallone survived to make some better movies in the '90s. This is a brutal dose of macho action that Stallone squeezed in between Rambo III and Rocky V, and his fans didn't seem to mind, so who's to judge? It's not as bad as Sly's other 1989 disaster (Tango & Cash), but you'd have to be demented, drunk, or have really low standards to call this a good movie. But if you're in a primal mood you'll get a kick out of this grimy flick, which would qualify as Z-grade exploitation if it weren't for Stallone's beefy presence as Frank Leone, a cooperative prisoner who's six months shy of parole when he's relocated to a hellhole called Gateway Prison. The wretched high-security facility is commandeered by Warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland), who is determined to settle an old score with Stallone ... and you can pretty much guess the rest. Director John Flynn didn't exactly distinguish himself with this one (he'd go on to direct forgettable fare like Out for Justice and Brainscan), but there's more visual style here than you might expect, and Sly manages to take it all so seriously that you can easily enjoy this gut buster as an unintentional comedy. --Jeff Shannon

          Description

          "This is hell and I'm going to give you a guided tour!" With these chilling words, the warden (Donald Sutherland) welcomes Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) to Gateway Prison, a nightmare jail where every minute is hard time. The warden wants vengeance for the past; Leone wants only to survive the present. Their explosive battle of wills is the electrifying heart of one of Stallone's most heroic thrillers, LOCK UP. Stallone gives a monumental performance as Leone, a convict driven to break his own cherished code by a warden who will stop at nothing to get him.

            It's not the scary hit that The Ring was in 2002, but The Grudge makes a similarly convincing case for American remakes of popular Japanese horror films. Barely a year passed between the release of Takashi Shimizu's creepy ghost story Ju-On: The Grudge and the production of this American remake, set in Tokyo and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in her first post-Buffy horror film. About the only significant difference between the two films is the importing of a mostly-American cast (including Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and Grace Zabriskie), but The Grudge was reconfigured (by screenwriter Stephen Susco) to allow Shimizu to refine and improve the spookiest highlights of his earlier version, which enjoyed previous incarnations as a short film and two made-for-Japanese-video features. Surprising box-office analysts with a $40 million opening weekend, The Grudge may disappoint hard-core horror fans because it lacks gore and graphic violence, but as a creepy tale about a very haunted house, it's guaranteed to send a few chills up your spine. --Jeff Shannon

                The Grudge 2 is a spooky installment in Takashi Shimizu's hardworking Ju-on/Grudge series of horror pictures. It doesn't carry the disorienting thrill of the very first Japanese Ju-on features, but it's a lot creepier than anybody could have expected. The story picks up from the end of the first Hollywood version of The Grudge, and has nothing to do with Ju-on 2, Shimizu's Japanese sequel. Sarah Michelle Gellar returns (a distinctly supporting role) as an American woman traumatized by her experiences with a haunted house in Tokyo; younger sister Amber Tamblyn flies over to help out. This particular storyline doesn't have much meat on it; the murder house is still there, and people who go inside have a disconcerting habit of dropping dead. Fortunately, two other plots thread into the basic one: a group of American schoolgirls in Tokyo become intrigued by the legend of the house, and some Chicago apartment dwellers are unsettled by domestic anxiety and the weird sounds coming from next door. (This storyline, featuring Jennifer Beals, gives the film its extremely satisfying opening sequence.) As usual with these movies, sequences come to us in non-chronological order, and it's up to us to piece it together. You can guess where the film is going, but the slow trajectory toward its final sequences is surprisingly involving. The movie was widely panned upon its release, which says more about the presumption of the law of diminishing sequel returns than the film itself--it's a decent little horror flick. --Robert Horton
