So I went for The Grudge 2 last Thursday. I know it’s an adaptation of Ju-On but the sneak preview was so tempting I had to watch it. Stupid me, paying money to scare the shit out of myself. The Grudge 2 isn’t exactly adapted from Ju-On. The characters are but the storyline is different.

Look at those big eyes, they are so spooky I feel like digging them out of their sockets. Come to think of it, I don’t think I wanna since it would look worse. After watching the movie, the signature sound will not get off your brains for quite sometime. You know, that *GROOOOAAAAKKKK* sound. It’s so eerie that almost every single creaking sound you hear, you’d translate that to Kayako Saeki being nearby you. So much so that I have been mimicking that sound almost everyday since I watched the movie.

To Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, you’d be disappointed to learn that her role ended pretty early in the movie. She was dead even before half of the movie. The plot of the movie itself was pretty twisted. I just don’t know how to say this, you just have to watch for yourself. True, the ghost wasn’t exactly scary but it was the sudden appearance and also those freaky eyes and make up that did the trick. There were a couple of times I jumped off my seat when that fucking Kayako Saeki appeared.

Look at that, if a hand suddenly grabbed me from the back when this scene was showing, I would have jumped up and my hands would have automatically smack whoever was behind me. That motherfucking bitch kept scaring the shit out of me.

Look at that evil stare. If it was real, I would have fainted already. Those eyes, after makeup, they are just freaking spooky, OK! Watch the scene where she popped her head out of the basin which Eason(played by Edison Chen) used to develop photos. Ultra shitty scary!!!

Anyway, I am not gonna spoil the fun any further. This movie is a must watch and I rate it a 4/5 stars. It kept my eyes glued to the screen the whole time and the thrill was non-stop. Guys, this is a definite watch with your girlfriends. She’d be so scared she’d hug you so tight you cannot even breath. To those watching at home, switch off all your lights, blast those speakers, put up the bass for best effect. No regrets!!

Now speaking of the movie, when I was in the cineplex, some assholes were speaking so loudly at the back. I hinted with a loud SHHHHHSSSSHHHHH and those mother fuckers didn’t get it. I did that several times and still they DIDN’T get it!!! I felt like going back there and slapping the shit out of them and then turning them in for The Grudge 3!!! Fuckers, it’s a cineplex, not your home. Do everyone a favour, fuck off if you have to talk so loudly. Also, if you are coughing so badly, don’t come to the cineplex. I could do without those stupid coughs. They were so loud they sounded more like he was about to vomit!! There were also a bunch of girls sitting on the same row as I did, I could see they were scared till wits, but they just had to do that *GROOOAAAKKK* sound to anticipate what was to come, just to reduce their shock. They were also giggling like nobody’s business. It was like as if I was watching the movie in their homes. WTF!!!
