49KDer Fluch – The Grudge: Directed by Takashi Shimizu. With Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, William Mapother, Clea DuVall. An American nurse living and working in Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and spreading to another victim.
“In Tokyo, when the American student Karen Davis (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is called by a Japanese social support agency to replace her Japanese colleague Yoko (Yoko Maki) in the assistance of the American sick woman Emma (Grace Zabriskie), she realizes that something supernatural lives in the huge house. Inspector Nakagawa (Ryo Ishibashi) investigates a series of deaths of visitors of the subjected house, and based on a Japanese belief, he convinces himself that the place is cursed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Grudgeu0026quot; is a different movie of haunted house. I have not had the chance to see the original u0026quot;Ju-on: The Grudgeu0026quot; yet, but this story is much related to Japanese culture. The beginning of the film makes reference to a Japanese saying about rage, which is unknown in Western cultures. The non-linear screenplay works reasonably, but could be better and better. It gives me the impression that something is missing to be a great movie. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;O Gritou0026quot; (u0026quot;The Screamu0026quot;)”
