The scariest and creepiest movie I watched

It's decent. I think some parts have not aged well, but I will admit that there are some classic scenes in here

Good, all over creepy movie. The japanese knows how to make movies like this. Watch it alone in the dark with a fair amount of sound.

It has it's moments, but the original Grudge is ultimately let down by a very muddled and unfocused plot

Watched it when I was young, it haunted me for years after. It’s wayyy better than the American ones, by far.
