Keep in mind, characters aren't necessarily supposed to know they're in a horror movie. And of course, one character has to slowly follow a strange figure that shouldn't be there in the first place. Some of you might be a little agitated to know that The Grudge does follow some clichéd horror movie conventions, such as a character investigating a creepy noise in a dark attic with only a cigarette lighter to illuminate the way. But then SHUT UP and WATCH THE MOVIE! This ain't a comedy and it certainly isn't a coffeehouse, so quit killin' my atmosphere. Unfortunately, when most moviegoers get scared they like to scream and then laugh and talk about it for 2 minutes afterwards. And they're manufactured frequently and shrewdly enough to keep you in a constant state of unease. Some people think jump scenes are cheap ploys to get a scare from the audience, but they're really well done in this movie. That's right, this baby is stocked with jump scenes! If you're having a hard time deciphering my complicated terminology, then let me explain that a 'jump scene' is one in which something startling happens to catch you off guard and makes you jump in your seat. Talk about being in a powerful grip of rage. The audience at this movie was probably the most obnoxious crowd I've ever had the displeasure of watching a movie with. All I can say is if that were true then the movie-going public better hope I never die in a theater. It's a 'stain' that forever becomes a part of the place where the death occurred, and it will kill everything it touches. According to The Grudge, there's a Japanese belief that when someone dies in a powerful grip of rage, then a curse is left behind.
