So, I didn’t realize this movie isn’t even the ORIGINAL original of the whole “Grudge” series? There are two “Ju-on” movies BEFORE this one…but I didn’t add them to my calendar, so you’ll have to watch those on your own, I guess. Here I’m going for this one first, and then the American remakes…for better or for worse.
Read more...I don’t have much to say about this one. I like Franka Potente, though her character’s not super likable in this.
Read more...I decided I wasn’t going to rewatch the first movie before rewatching this one, and…I’m not sure if that was a disservice to this or what, but I just wasn’t as entertained by this sequel as I remember being the first time I saw it.
Read more...I definitely should not have enjoyed this movie as much as I did. It’s a bit longer, and feels that way…it’s not really scary (unless you’re scared of insects in general), and a lot of it is just silly.
Read more...This was a weird movie, but everyone in it was so good, and the story was more interesting and original than I was anticipating!
Read more...I watched this because it had a title that kind of fit into a theme with yesterday’s movie…but I’m thinking this movie actually has more in common with The Open House, and not in a great way?
Read more...I wanted to like this much more. It’s got a whole lot going for it! Maisie Williams! Creepy old couple in a big old house!
Read more...It’s Mother’s Day in the USA (unintentional rhyme, sorry?), so this is…well, it’s not really “appropriate” but it’s…fitting?
Read more...I thought this movie was nominally thematically appropriate following the last two movies. And at least it’s better than The Happening?
Read more...I wish this movie were better. I think it might be the oldest remake I’ve watched yet? It’s old enough to be a Throwback Thursday pick itself!
Read more...This is partially a nostalgia-driven rating, but also this is truly just a classic horror movie. Made on a shoestring budget with minimal special effects, this movie is apparently a pretty faithful adaptation of John Wyndham’s The Midwich Cuckoos, which I admittedly still have yet to read.
Read more...First, I want to make a (much smaller) content warning about discussions of suicide in this movie.
Read more...I liked this one more than I expected, but still not a lot. I’m sure it didn’t hurt that it was quite short and action-packed.
