a i have notice with a lot of imdb comment and certain reviewer seem to demand that every film they see have smugly intelligent plot that wallow in there own cleverness . i be not one of those people . if i watch an action film and i want to see explosion and gunfire and heroic . if i watch a comedy and i want to have tear of laughter in my eye . you get the idea . therefore watch a horror film and i primarily want to be scar . the grudge be a very scary film and in both it well execute jump scene and and it creepy imagery . i have be a horror film fan for many year and and i be talk about the master such a dario argento and rather than director of some of the treadmill teen horror flick that be churn out these day . if you want to be scar and watch this film . way scary than the original japanese ring ( which i also think be a great film ) .
