MOVIE : THE GRUDGE(Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, KaDee Strickland)
Synopsis
In Sam Raimi and Columbia Pictures’ powerful thriller THE GRUDGE, based on the Japanese blockbuster JU-ON: THE GRUDGE, the normal façade of a modest house in Tokyo belies the hidden terror within. It is possessed by a violent plague that destroys the lives of everyone who enters. Known as “The Grudge, ” this curse causes its victims to die in the grip of a powerful rage. Those who are fatally afflicted by the curse die and a new curse is born – passed like a virus to all those who enter the house in an endless, growing chain of horror.
Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is an exchange student studying social work in Japan who innocently agrees to cover for a nurse who didn’t show up for work. When she enters the assigned home, she discovers an elderly American woman, Emma (Grace Zabriskie), who is lost in a catatonic state while the rest of the house appears deserted and disheveled.
As she is tending to the stricken old woman, Karen hears scratching sounds from upstairs. When she investigates, she is faced with a supernatural horror more frightening than she could ever imagine.
Within this house, a chain of terror has been set in motion resulting from a terrifying evil that was born years before. As more people die, Karen is pulled into the cycle of horror and learns the secret of the vengeful curse that has taken root in this house.
MY Review
Sometimes getting scared is good for you and Sometimes it is not. Take my word , this movie is actually going to rip your ghost fantasy into petrified reality . The movie opens with a house in tokyo where an old woman resides .But wait , the woman is actally virtually dumb which means there is something scary that is making her sick.She has to depend on somebody to get well . A nurse is sent to treat her medically . But the nurse goes missing . Then , on a parallel note , there is another story which is blended with another character that’s somewhat related to this strange house. Who so ever is the person (detective , nurse , cop ) everybody go missing .SO what is it that is so mystical about this house? WELL ! You need to watch the movie.
Believe me , When I watched this movie , I was feeling a bit scary about STRANGE HOUSES , which you see rarely.It is a good horror movie with innovative story.I simply loved it but sweared not to watch it again b’coz the visuals and special effects are very scary and rip - chilling .The movie is adapted from Japanese movie JU-ON.Do not watch it alone and do not watch during night time . You will not sleep that night . The sound effects are good and also the story theme .
