August 19, 2008One of the very best horror movies to come out in ages.

I eventually lost all patience. The movie may have some subterranean level on which the story strands connect and make sense, but it eluded me. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
It isn't frightening. Sometimes, in fact, it's laughable. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The opening minutes hit us with a shocker on a par with the shower scene in "Psycho," and the tension rarely lets up thereafter. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
An abundance of above-average scares ultimately makes The Grudge's portrait of contagious anger, violence, and death creepily unsettling. full review
