CobraKevin Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Summary: In some Japanese town, an incident occured in an old house that left behind a curse. Anyone who enters the house is exposed to the curse and will be followed for life by it. Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) enters the house as a substitute care-giver for an elderly lady who's son and daughter-in-law currently live in the house. She gets exposed to the curse and tries to help investigators solve the issue concerning what happened/is happening with the house. Pros: A few hot chicks, freaky setting, freaky characters, and lots of other freaky shit. Cons: A little slow, quite a few flashbacks some may find hard to follow, and the ability to fuck over the rest of your night. Conclusion: 4.75/5.00 - Quite possibly the scariest movie ever. EVER! For those that don't get scared at movies, give this one a shot. For those that saw it and didn't think it was scary, please feel free to enlighten me on a movie that was. For those that scare easily and/or enjoy being scared (like me), prepare to seem 5 again when bedtime arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 What made this movie so scary? Was it just the setting or what? I'm not bashing just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I saw it and I can tell you that I have not been scared by a movie in a long time. I recommend it, highly. It's the sounds, the setting, the camera work, the freaky little kid and his mom. It was a remake of a Japanese film called "Ju-On" and the original director was the director in this one too. I guess it might be scary because it was different from the normal American scary movies. Like it was fresher? But then again, people might not like it because it might not be what they're used to.

I'm not bashing just curious. The freakiest Japenese kid and his mom make the strangest, creepiest noises, and can be literally anywhere at any time in virtually any form. Yeah, pretty freaky.

Berto Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 i though tit was freaky but the plot "has been done" just the hole disturbed familly haunting shit. I thought the movie would explain all the different forms of "ghosts" and why some of the stuff happened, all in all the movie was scary as fuck but as far as plot it really wasn't that great. SPOILER some of the shit they didn't explain bothered me, like why that girls jaw was ripped out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 It's the reactions of the characters that make it scary too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mandible, so lil yoko got her jaw ripped out, too. Originally posted by Eastside Juggalo: What made this movie so scary? Was it just the setting or what?

When you close your eyes, you cant help but flash back to some of the shots from the movie. Usualy when I have an asian girl coming up from under my sheets its an entirely different situation. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlygirl18t Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 me and my boyfriend went and saw it last night. I thought it was pretty good, i jumped. I hate going to movies at easton. All of the super young kids are there and they ruined the scare affect a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual Webers Suck Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 The only thing that sucked about this movie is that Bruce Cambell wasn't anywhere to be found, despite the fact that Sam Raimi had something to do with it (Ted Raimi badass however). Did anybody catch the couple of Evil Dead references? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at the very least have security checking in on every theatre constantly. Kids ruin way too many movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 10:00pm-midnight you'll see kids in the freaking building and supposedly for some time there is supposed to be a law prohibiting those under 18 from even being inside Easton. Doesn't seem to work very well. So tell your friend "THE LAW" to get his or her shit in gear for me. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
