| | | The Grudge 2
Check the trailer here or click the add here in GB
Looks rather interesting, maybe even worth of going to see it.
Other opinions?

| | Certainly if SMG is in it then it might be worth watching

| | | Not sure, but this may be a SPOILER...
Don't get too excited, I've read that SMG only makes a cameo appearance in the beginning and it's only maybe the first 15 minutes according to someone who has seen it. |

| | | I kept hearing about how awful the first one was from so many people, then I watched it myself. Best frickin horror movie in a long long time. Most "Horror" movies are about gore and slaughter, slitting a neck from behind and stuff, not what I want to see. The Grudge gave me a perfect sense of fear and anxiety without using blood and slaughter, which I liked.
So, I will most definitely be going to see the sequal, I really hope it lives up to the first movie at least. |

I have seen both, and still think Asians are better making good horror movies...
(this doesn't mean the Hollywood version of The Grudge was bad, not at all)

| | | I dunno which one I saw really. It says columbia pictures and Ghost Sound Pictures on it, so I'm guessing hollywood. |

You can make the differences between the versions in the facts that:
1) Asian version has only asian actors
2) In asian version, actors only speak Japanese...
So, if they spoke english in the film you saw, then it's definately Hw version...

| | | Although the Asian version is a true classic that doesn't mean the HW version is bad. SMG did a good job IMHO. And the film went against some HW rules. For instance, it didn't have a happy ending.
I'll go and see The Grudge 2 just because I'm a fan of Takashi Shimizu.
And if you like The Grudge/Ju On, be sure to see Ringu as well.

| Done that already. Damn it was good one

I should have put 'I agree with Kipi' somewhere...  I usually reread my posts before I submit them.
