Nzosaba Matenge well thats your personal preference. in your case, dubs would be a lot worse than subtitles. a dub is just someone speaking over someones lines so it doesnt look right. a sub on the other hand just has a translation to read.

I watched the first grudge wayyyyyyyy too young and now even in my 20’s when ever I hear that noise, my heart rate and adrenaline shoot up and I get super anxious. Let’s just say watching this while video was very difficult...

[@anafano1613]

I love this video and your work.... But Kayako didn't had an affair with another man. She fell inlove with another man (who was her son's teacher) and even evolved into an obsession. Her husband found out by reading her diary; which she wrote how she felt about him.

[@elleofmusic]

Thank you for pointing out the things that made the originals so special! Ju-On and even the first two Grudges are my favorite horror movies and I was disappointed with how heavy-handed things were in the trailer when the originals were all about atmosphere and dread with long build-ups and brief but powerful payoffs. The lack of Kayako taking center stage surprised me too, because like… it's her, she's the curse. She is often a very tangible entity, even… Oh well.

[@cyankeungkhamphong6080]

to the people who say that they were dissapointed and they had high expectations...what did u expect?? lol. american movie remakes of any horror movie literally suck. there was no reason to remake this AGAIN

The way you describe your feelings about this movie are an exact mirror of my own. Like, the movie wasn't BAD per se and the acting was pretty good imo, but something was missing for me and I suppose part of it was having Fiona become the Grudge instead of Kayoko coming from Tokyo to terrorize America. Idk. I love this series but this installment disappointed me so much. Also, thank you for the in-depth research you delivered! I really admire your passion. Keep up the great work.

I just want to say I will waste my life for 10-30 minutes for free here with you rather than go to the movies and realize I wasted $20-$40 AND had to leave the house AND had to buy expensive concessions AND wasted 2+ hours of my life. It makes me that much more hard on the movie and how it makes me feel. That being said I've only seen the hunger games movies/Divergent series in theaters. It's been a minute.

The witch deserves a sidequel but it can be through the parents perspective instead of the children

[@guywglasses3910]

If I had a chance with The Grudge- I'd definitely make it a "tv series" on like, Netflix or something like that. Make it an anthology series and each season would focus on a different person/family experiencing The Grudge. I'd make it a psychological-horror, specifically for the purpose of diving into the mental state of someone who becomes possessed by The Grudge, but also the build-up to how each "grudge" plays into how they get possessed. So much wasted potential.

i was prob 10 or 11 years old when i saw this movie. im not sure what the circumstances were because it was the probably first time i ever saw a movie that wasnt a disney channel original on tv or the first two star wars trilogies. i mean maybe before that i had seen a movie that falls under the horror genre, but i remember the 2002 grudge very vividly because it changed my fucking life. it wasnt the first time i was having a "monster under the bed" phase, but this movie.... my dad had to sit in the bathroom with me when i took a shower, it went beyond being scared of the dark. i think a lot of kids can agree that your bed, under the covers, that was the safe zone. but this movie made sure that my 10 year old brain knew that nowhere was safe.

[@ninjastorm540]

What he said in the beginning was really funny cause the Grudge really did ruin that soung for me.
