i have to admit i haven not see grudge 1 and but i have see the ring so i understand that asian horror film be a bit different . but really and this film be terrible and not the least bit scary . incomprehensible be a good descriptor . corny and predictable and dull and yes . the plot just leave me go what . a you have a succession of undeveloped character get bump off in disjointed future past future sequence that just leave you scratch your head . large chunk of the film go unexplained such a the whole schoolgirl extra storyline and why ghost woman and boy be target people who hadn not even be in the house ( boyfriend and schoolgirl extra etc ) and why the hell ghost woman reborn a evil child wait five or six year to kill mum on a whim . etc and etc and etc . sorry and this one just leave me thankful we hadn not pay good money to see it at the movie .
