Accepting that The Grudge inflicts pain
Hi there,
I watched House of 1000 Corpses last week, and The Human Centipede 2 two days ago. They left me highly joyful, surprised and interested. Tonight I gave The Grudge (2020) a chance, because it is available on Netflix and a friend recommended it or the original. It was very worrying and horrifying to notice the emptiness of the movie... so standardised, so impersonal and in a way predictable. I need to accept that I have to indefinitely stop watching "Hollywood horror movies", because the stylistic mistakes in them are too much to bear. I just read that the BBFC initially called The Human Centipede "undoubtedly tasteless and disgusting". From this we may conclude that the BBFC at the time featured one or more employees who don't understand a thing about movies. The aforementioned predicate applies to The Grudge (2020) if you ask me, and not to The Human Centipede . (Cheers to Tom Six for a remarkable cinematographic performance. ) Oh man... Please do reply to my post, as I feel lonely in my opinions. |

I didn't see Grudge 2020 and won't waste my time unless someone I trust recommends it. I watched the trailer and it just looks like a series of "something is behind you" or "something jumps at you" scenes. Some horror is style, but the trailer looked like hack visuals and hack story. I really don't know who bothers to watch this when there are some many better things to do. I did see Ju-On (2000), and speaking of "It was very worrying and horrifying to notice the emptiness of the movie", I kind of felt that way about Ju-on. It's fairly crafty, but found it hard to relate or care about the characters and was a bit bored and found the story a bit shallow. But a lot of folks here liked Ju-On. That was your better shot at a decent flick. You gonna try Ju-on? Last edited by Sculpt; 09-07-2021 at 12:58 PM. |
