After the
Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel last week another horror movie has tried to get the heads up a couple of weeks before Halloween. This time it's
The Grudge 2, a sequel to the remake of the Japense original which does not follow the storyline of the Japenese
Grudge 2. That's simple enough, here is what the critics had to say...
"The more Grudge films you see, the more the rules in this universe are unveiled as totally random -- to the point where you stop caring". Peter Hartlaub - San Fransisco Chronicle"The Grudge 2" has no substance, no suspense, numerous fade-outs, and finally no explanation. Better to rent the original".Wilson Morales - Blackfilm.com"The Grudge 2" marks a disheartening turn in horror, as it's an unforgivably boring film. Worse, if the laughter I heard during the screening was any indication, it may end up being a better comedy than "Employee of the Month." - Pete Vonder Haar - Filmthreat.com"It doesn't make a lot of sense and sometimes it's even laughable, but it's also scary as hell. Shimizu does cheesy, jump out of the shadows scares better than just about anyone. If that's what you're looking for, The Grudge 2 really delivers". - Josh Tyler - Cinema Blend The movie is currently weighing in at a 6% rotten rating on rotten tomatoes with 17 of the 18 reviews all being negative so far. Ouch! I hope to God this movie doesn't make any money this weekend, i'm sick to death of the crappy Japenese horror adaptations that we are being subjected to every year. Let's get some originality in horror for Gods sake! The movie is released next week for those of us in the UK. source -
