The Grudge

[2004, Movie]

The Grudge: Review

Screenwriter Stephen Susco and Takashi Shimizu cherry-pick the best bits of the scary Japanese Ju-on horror series and add Western characters, but wisely resist the temptation to beef up the subtle horror with cheesy special effects. The result is one of the flat-out creepiest films ever released by a major American studio. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as an American in Tokyo who gets sucked into a typical, nondescript house that happens to be plagued by a nasty curse. Read the complete review for The Grudge

Ah... my favorite time of year... the leaves are turning, Halloween plans churning, and Masters of Horror Season 2 is off to a screaming premiere tomorrow night [10PM ET/PT on Showtime]. As I weave my dark tvguide.com web here for the new season, I wanted to give Season 1 a short "re-capitation," and take us all through Season 2 "ghoul school."The Premise and The ExtremeMasters of Horror began as a dinner conversation among acclaimed horror directors, which soon became TV history-in-the-making.

Showtime was up for this premise, and without MPAA intervention, 13 seriously extreme 1-hour horror films found a home on cable TV.And Then There Were 12The horror and cult community eagerly anticipated the 13th and final episode, directed by Japan's legendary Takashi Miike [Audition; Ichi the Killer].
