THE GRUDGE is super unsettling... Movie Reaction (first time watching)

[@dan_hitchman007]

The quickest Bill Pullman cameo in movie history. Audience: "Hey! It's Bill Pullman! I know him from ID4 and Spaceballs! He's aweso..." SPLAT! LOL! Speaking of Bill Pullman, Aria, you should put "Sleepless in Seattle" and "While You Were Sleeping" on your to-watch list. Great comedies! 😉

No happy ending thats what made this movie a classic

[@BigGator5]

"I just want her to leave me alone!" Fun Fact: The open-mouth gasping sound of the ghosts was made by director Takashi Shimizu. How I Met Your Mother Fact: Jason Behr met KaDee Strickland on the set of the film and both began dating due to their interest in Japanese culture. They eventually married two years later. Movie Magic Fact: While filming the infamous shower scene, Sarah Michelle Gellar discovered she was allergic to Japanese water, as it caused her skin to itch. So as to properly film the scene safely, Gellar was dressed in black hefty garbage bags from the waist down and in a little tube top. Cultural Respect Fact: Before filming, the cast and crew went through a ceremony where they were blessed so that nothing bad could happen to them for filming. Although the house was built entirely on a sound stage, the actors and cast still had to take off their shoes to enter, to be respectful. Casting Notes Fact: Ted Raimi, who plays Alex, is the younger brother of Sam Raimi, one of the film's producers. Yuya Ozeki, Takako Fuji, and Takashi Matsuyama all appeared in Ju-on: The Grudge (2002) and Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003), the Japanese films upon which this film was based, all reprising their roles as the doomed Saeki family.

[@Madbandit77]

Buffy fact: Sarah Michelle Gellar's co-stars in the film, Clea Duvall and Jason Behr, previously guest-starred on her hit TV show, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". Clea was in "Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight" (ep 1x11) and Jason was in "Lie To Me" (ep 2x7).

It’s always a blessing when classic actors can reprise their roles. And it a blessing a successful EASTERN franchise even agrees to work with Hollywood in the first place. I’m glad they let Takashi Shimizu re direct for the American version..

[@pahouaxiong1995]

FINALLY!!! THANK YOU!!! you're the first one that watched the unrated version (director's cut). Other youtuber watch the pg 13 version the most and didn't understand the whole plot. The lore is who ever enters the house is mark death and can die anytime. The main reason is that the husband though that kayako (mother) is having an affair and thinking that toshi (the boy) is not his son so he decided to kill them. I'm not japanese, the hospital scene, the cops were talking about can't find Susan anywhere and they were the first family that move in every since three years ago. The last scene, they were saying how did the girl (Karen) survived and they save the house.

"Is there a part 2?" you ask? Just one of the best horror movies ever made, honey. LORD, is there a part 2.

[@tomswift3482]

This is a 2004 remake of a 2002 film - Ju-on The Grudge - which was directed by the same person, but this one had a different writer, and changes were made so that it would be easier for American audiences to follow the story - original was seen as too complex, mainly owing to how the story was told. The original, although it was more stream of consciousness in its telling, was far more mysterious to follow, but ultimately gave a better background story, explaining the tale, more fully by movies end. It was also more frightening The movies also have differences, owing to different scripts. The white faced boy you mention, who was the boy in the house, was the poster boy for the original movie, and is likely what you saw. At 18:25, yes you are right - The grudge - basically the emotions are held by the house, so anyone whom enters, is subject to its affect. The original is better, as in the case of Ringu being better than the American remake - The Ring. There are a few Japanese horror films that have been remade, and "streamlined" for American audiences - but remain less than their originals. Pulse (2001), One Missed Call (2003) are personal favorites, along with Ju-on, and Ringu.

[@bigwill3462]

I avoided this movie too because this movie was scary to me back then

[@Mr.McMango]

I'm surprised you're watching the unrated version. Love it!

[@victornewmanforever]

Sarah Michelle Gellar's boss is Ted Raimi, Sam Raimi's brother. He was the possessed Henrietta in Evil Dead 2.

[@ariachanson01]

Ohhhhhh

[@dan_hitchman007]

As I mentioned to one of the posters here, sometimes on streaming services, they forget to add proper video subtitle tracks to international versions of a film that have non native speaking characters. "The Grudge" is one such example. There are no burned-in subtitles for movies and shows that get a world-wide release for home video or streaming, so each country can add their own. In order to get the subtitles for foreign languages you often have to manually turn on the subtitles in the app settings. The problem is that EVERYTHING becomes subtitled, not just for the foreign languages because those are subs for the deaf and hearing-impaired. That's one reason why I like Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray discs rather than streaming, if I can get them.

[@dan_hitchman007]

The poor ghosts just wanted someone to give them the proper medicine for their sore throats. Rattling and gurgling can become quite annoying living in a dusty house.

[@ariachanson01]

😂😂

[@MadcapMatt]

Another murder mystery similar to this movie is The Ring with Naomi Watts. Also very spooky but in a different way.

[@mattreaction]

Sarah MIchelle Gellar is also starred in her horror movie "I Know What You Did Last Summer"

[@lessismore8533]

That’s why they hired her for the Grudge! She’s a GREAT scream queen!..

THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THE UNRATEDVERSION I WAS SOO MAD NOBODY SAW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO KAYAKO AND WHY SHE IS SOO ANGRY. also fun fact: the grudge is an American remake from the japanese movies "ju-on the curse 1-2" and "ju-on the grudge 1-2" they are scarier than the american remakes.

[@smurfjimpan]

Yes! I've been waiting for people to watch this one terror from my childhood. I'm so glad you're one of the first ones. I watched this one in theater when I was 13. It scarred me. The same night, me and a friend went tenting in the middle of nowhere. Yuck.

[@markjuarez1791]

I enjoyed your reaction to this, Aria. Although I must say that I am not a big fan of this movie. There are some good scary and creepy scenes. Susan being pursued by the curse from her work to her apartment, and the surveillance footage tape are genuinely frightening. That being said, this movie just feels empty to me. I understood what was going on, but with no real resolve, it just feels empty to me. I still enjoyed your reaction. Keep more horror movies coming.

[@ariachanson01]

I know what you're saying. When I watched it again while editing, it did feel like something was missing but I just don't know what. I guess iI should watch the original one😅

[@markjuarez1791]

@@ariachanson01 Thank you, I'm glad you see my point. I'm sure you've had many people say this to you already, but I highly recommend that you watch "The Ring". Another re-make of a horror movie from Japan, that was made before "The Grudge". "The Ring" is a very good horror/chiller/drama, and I think you would like it. Cheers, Aria!

[@lessismore8533]

@@markjuarez1791just to let you know, the Grudge HAS sequels so the first one is supposed to end on a cliffhanger. Also the curse/villain is not meant to be beaten/destroyed. It’s an unbeatable curse. That’s why it feels “incomplete “ to you. The Grudge franchise was written this 2ay on purpose! It’s ok if it not your thing but just informing you that it’s not a flaw. It’s how the franchise is.

[@MadcapMatt]

One of my favorite Sam Rami movies is also perfect for Spooky season. Drag Me To Hell. The main actress in that is also in one of my favorite not scary movies called Matchstick Men also stars Nick Cage.

There’s supposed to be subtitles when they’re speaking Japanese. So idk why there aren’t for your copy of the movie. I’ve seen this happen with multiple reactors with different films.

[@dan_hitchman007]

Sometimes a particular streaming site will not include the correct forced video subtitles if they are using an international version of the film that won't have burned-in English subtitles for someone speaking a foreign language. That's why physical Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray media is best, besides the superior AV quality.

Well, I think it’s safe to say the first couple people it showed aren’t the main characters since they died ha ha. Also the original film Ju-On: The Grudge, is a little scarier/better than this one in my opinion, even with a much lower budget and it’s the same Director. Then there’s Ju-On: The Grudge 2
