Anybody see the trailer for The Grudge? Doesn't it look awfully similar to The Ring? SEriously!
CloudUnionX
I wanna see that movie so damn bad.

I don't think it is. But I really want to see it.
TheSilenceInDiction
Haha, no it isn't.

The reason why you might think so is that the original (Ju-On:The Grudge) was made by the same people who brought you Ringu (The Ring)

There are a lot of similarities (I've seen all the Ju-Ons)
TV warps, photographs, etc etc.

okay yeah both movies freak me out. the trailer for the grudge...the kid is so cute! then he meows...and then he's not so cute anymore...
TheSilenceInDiction
Trust me, it's going to be more than the 'Meowing' that'll freak you out about him.

His name is 'Toshio', BTW...I'm guessing they're going to keep his name the same for the remake.

YAh since the grudge is suppose to be an america version of another japanese movie, it looks similiar to the Ring. Japanese movies have a tendency to explicitly show "ghosts" so yah it's similiar but it's a little different. I think the grudge would be good cuz it looks 10x scarier than the japanese version. Sarah Michelle is such a good screamer..haha

ooo thanks for clearing it up for me!

Ivisited the Grudge's website! OMG!! their site is so frickin scary mainly cuz its interactive.

Hey, no problem.
I'm big on jap horror films and indie films.

Anyway, if you think this one's scary, you should check out Ju-On: The Grudge 2.
I wonder if they'll make a remake of that sequel in the future.

Speaking of sequels, they're making an american remake of The Ring 2.

the grudge's trailor is creepy... so was the ring trailer...but the ring sucked ass and id i not get scared one bit, but i get a vibe off of the grudge...like i know its gonna be or IS scary...
TheSilenceInDiction
There're a lot of scenes that'll make you cringe or jump from fear.

I think the second one is freakier...
A lot of cool psychologically disturbing stuff, especially this one particular scene. rolleyes.gif

It can't be the sequel

my friend saw the ring 2

x_O im like 99,9% sure she did.. or did she just watch ringu >_>

i think it was the 2nd one though

the grudge.. wow.. i wanna see that cept im going to get a heartattack
yeseulx3
naw. it's not a sequel to the ring. the ring has a sequel called ring 2...
and it's coming out later on.

the grudge is the american version of the japanese horror movie series "juon"... and the grudge seems much scarier than the ring. i didn't think the ring was scary at all _dry.gif
mysticbreeze
It looks good I want to see it. biggrin.gif
xquizit

Yes, the Grudge is the American version of the Japanese movie Ju-On. I've waited so long. I wanna see it sooo badly!!!
Joyie
I saw Ju-On... but I don't understand Japanese. T_T I have Ju-On 2 as well, but haven't watched that yet...

But scary movies freak me out.
angel-roh
yea the Grudge is an American version of the Japanese movie of Ju-on^^;; i dont think the American version will be that scary but i kinda want to watch it cause i never watch any scary movies in American theater so im planning to watch it. anyways i watch the japanese version one and it was hecka scary... even tho i kinda did not understand it... heh that's why im going to watch the american version was... the japanese version one was very confusing... i hope they're showing ju-on 2...cause that one was hecka scarier... and ju-on 1 wasnt that scary at ALL

AND IT'S NOT SIMILIAR TO THE MOVIE RING.....


IT LOOKS RING CAUSE THEY'RE USING A GHOST WITH LONG BLACK HAIR.... BUT IT'S NOT A SAME STORY LIKE RING.
iheartsimba

Well, as an example, one of the Ringu movies tells the story of Sadako (Samara in the US ver.) before she was killed and all that good stuff.

No one reads my posts...
Cause a lot have repeated what I basically stated...Oh well.
And yes, Ju-On:The Grudge 2 is way better.
jennifish
i wanna watch it!!!
ShipuuShouken
spoilers about ring 2:

in ring 2, the little kid gets the same powers as sadako.... i think she tries to kill em and they are trying to run from her or something, i dunno. i only heard reviews
christiee_nax
oh ive watched the orginal japanese ringu movies.. the first one (when she was still actually alive and all) wasnt really freaky but the one after she was put in the well was kinda freaky..

"maybe to put an end to the story? the story didnt exactly get resolved in the 1st one, cept they hid it at blockbuster"

but didnt that kid, whats his name? iforgot. yah the kid, he said in the end like "she never sleeps".. she's never going to die! but i admit, ill watch it tho tongue.gif. i remember the first time i watched the ring, i was so freaked that i put a random picture of tobey maguire on my tv and another picture of orlando bloom on the oval mirror in my bathroom. haha!
