"Be afraid... Be very afraid."

"Three years ago, three of my colleagues were investigating what happened in that house. Two died mysteriously. The third was never found".This is the dialouge from one of the scariest movies i have ever seen till now.I hardly watch horror movies because i am not comfortable watching it alone and it brings me nightmares.But fortunately or unfortunately i watched Grudge when i was studying in Bangalore and it really scared the hell out of me.The quote 'it never forgets and it never forgives' just brings me chill in the spine.Frankly ,the movie haunted me for many days.

Actually it is the remake of Japanese movie Ju-on The Grudge directed by Takashi Shimizu and the remake too is directed by him and must say he did a great job.Ghost is almost similar to The Ring movie,white face,long hairs,similar kind of costumes.I think every Japanese ghost looks like that (Ha..ha...ha..).

The movie is narrated through non linear sequence of events and the story unfolds through flashbacks. The protagonist (Sarah Michelle Gellar)  enters a house to take care of a old women faces the curse of the ghost.The ghost will kill whoever enters the house knowingly or unknowingly to avenge the its death.(bad ghost huuh...)She tries every method to escape from the ghost but in vain.It finally kills her husband and bunch of others including a police officer who is investigating the case of the mysterious deaths in the house.But the Sarah somehow escapes from the ghost but gets killed in the sequel.The squealing voice of the ghost is the best part of the movie.Hats off to the person who dubbed the voice,she did a great job in scaring me and my room mates and may be many more people around the globe.

Without doubt it is a very good movie in my point of view but please stop making horror movies because it scares the shit out of me(especially Korean and Japanese).I heard Tale of Two Sisters is a very good movie and i am trying hard to ignore it.
