I was feeling the same, especially after seeing the not-so-wonderful remake of Ring. I thought this was going to be just another pointless remake.
I was dead wrong. The Grudge was absolutely excellent:
even better than the original.
I felt that the plot was much improved; the original was really five seperate stories which were interconnected by the house. While it is still essentially the same story, it comes accross much more unified and coherant in the remake. Spoiler:
They left out, wisely in my opinion, the story involving the schoolgirls.
When the film was over, I looked over at one of my friends. She was completely pale and looked like she was in shock. She said very very little after the film and on the way home. Now if that's not a great reccomendation for a horror movie, I don't know what is!
