So she appears in the beginning as a pale ghost then? I didn't hate The Grudge like a lot of people do (the unrated DVD version that came later is better than what was in theaters), but the story was confusing. I never understood just HOW the curse gets passed on...

This film is a curse.. After watching this movie I got a phone call from someone telling me that I would die in 7 days... then there was this black oozz dripping from my ceiling.. it turns out that the boogieman's toilet was over flowing. Well, I snatched my skeleton key, locked up and got the hell outta there. Anyone else noticing the crappy horror movies Hollywood is churning out? Its all just a bunch of white noise.

I'm missing the horror in today's so called "horror movies." Maybe I'm just getting too old or jaded to be scared anymore, or maybe there just aren't any new ideas out there...I don't know. It just seems that everytime I get excited for a nw horror flick I am so let down once the ending credits roll.

"story was confusing"... This coming from the same people who thought Mission: Impossible was "too intellectual".

Gellar should just do the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and get it over with. She is already typecast as it is. At least she would be working with a better script. (and no i am not a whedonite.)

I don't know if the "crap" from "crappy horror movies lately" stems from the fact Hollywood remakes horror movies from Asian horror movies and just dilutes it for mass Western cunsumption or the fact that they've picked crappy Asian horror movies to begin with to remake.

Although I am curious how the remake of "Day of the Dead" will shape up. Odds are we'll be seeing sprinting uber-zombies in this one...

Sarah Michelle hasn't been typecast, shit she was in The Scooby Due movies, sure alot of her material is mostly horror but that's because she loves that franchize and you didn't get the grudge, the ghost itself attaches to the person that saw it last, the ghost can also look like that person, that's how it moves from place to place, cause it knows everything about that person. Its called the Grudge because it doesn't want anybody else to be happy, the spirit is pissed cause of the fact that it got killed or whatever and yeah she will probably have to die because nobody else survived the curse.

Gellar can't act.She is a hot chick who got popular and a crap show.When Buffy Reruns die,so will her career.
