The Grudge

--Reviewed by Lindy Loo

Saw The Grudge this weekend. Here's what I thunk.

Plotline: Sad and washed up. Sarah Michelle Gellar goes to work temporarily as a nurse for an old woman who lives in what turns out to be a haunted house. The house is haunted by a young Asian boy and his mother who slowly pick off people who come into contact with them.

Scariness factor: Like watching your grandma hobble towards you with a Casper mask on. There wasn't a real scary moment in the whole film which was extremely disappointing. They showed too much of the beings that were haunting the place--it would've best been left to the viewer's imagination. And never was I nervously sitting on the edge of my seat.

Originality: Blatant Rip-off of both The Eye (elevator scenes and creepy Asian child) and The Ring (girl with long hair hanging over face lurching towards camera).

Other High Points: None. (Except maybe for the creepy noise that accompanies the ghosts and only because it's easy to imitate and annoy people with.)

Other Complaints: Sarah Michelle Gellar does a shower scene and we don't get to see boobage. What kinda lousy horror movie IS this?

Grade: D
