Has The Grudge come to Sky Movies yet?

If not, any ideas how long it will be before it arrives?

 

Not yet, usually 6 months after DVD release I think, about a year after cinema release

 

Do yourself a favour.

If you haven't seen it, don't bother. To describe it as 'terrible' doesn't do terrible justice.

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

ar lass rented it on DVD - thought it was ok.

Saw The Butterfly Effect last week - that was ok as well

 

Its a reyt film.

Well worth watching, some great jumpy parts.

 

Is that based on Chaos Theory??

 

Thats what I'd heard too mate.

 

Yes

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

'Horror' by numbers. Seen worse, but not by much.

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

Agree it was rather formulaic (is that a word?) but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Is the original Japanese version better - cause from what I've seen of Japanese horror films they all seem to follow the same basic formula as well.

In fact horror films in general now - it's rare that I come across anything original and truely scary. Always on the lookout for a decent horror film (well not always as sometimes I'm doing other things like working and eating cheese! - ever tried working cheese?)

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

Pretty much, although the Japanesed versions tend to have some 'feel' to them. As soon as Hollywood get hold of them, they up the budget, drag in a star name and tamper with the plot a little to make it more palatable to a Western audience, and in doing so lose the mythology that made it good in the first place.

Not looking forward to the 'Dark Water' remake. And don't get me started on 'The Ring'.

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

Ah well I liked The Ring and preferred the remake to the Japanese version!

I fancy seeing Dark Water if only cause it'll probably have a decent soundtrack as its directed by Rob Zombie

 

RE: Do yourself a favour.

Rob Zombie directing? Hehe. Just can't get my head round that.

 

agreed - wasted 2 hours of mi life watching it

Its like a film that goes all out to be scary but in doing so goes beyond all bounds of being anything like real and it just bores you!
