As a pure, light, PG-13 thrill machine, The Grudge is fairly successful. But it is not especially memorable.

It's refreshing to see a PG-13 horror film that aims for good old-fashioned spookiness.

It's enough to send you home with jiggly knees and a tummy ache.

[Blu Ray] Only the hi-def obsessed should double-dip for this one, DVD owners can still sit pretty.

Grisly ghost story lacks plot; not for tweens.

It's no more impressive than hiding in the dark and shouting 'Boo!' when someone walks into a room.

...just cannibalizes itself, exploiting Japanese spirituality for a few Saturday-night shocks...

It's just not the kind of frightening that stays with you very long, unless of course someone decides to make the same movie . . . yet again.

Almost every single one of the American characters has maybe a third of the personality of the ghosts that haunt them, so you begin to think the grudge itself is less a curse than a perfectly reasonable eviction strategy.

Generally speaking, I like a little more plot with my 'Boo!' moments.

Completely misses the point of the original.
