I'm watching "The Grudge" and I'm bored; is it worth finishing? (Spoilers)
Seriously...this thing sucks big time. I fell asleep the first attempt to watch it and the 2nd time I decided brushing my cat Evita would be of more interest.

I'm just not digging this movie. I'm at the part where they flash back to the first family movie in (with the crazy old lady). Should I even bother watching more of this or am I wasting my time

:shrug:

PS - spoil away, knowing the ending has never stopped me from watching a movie!

1. Try to find the original Japanese version "Ju On"
Much Creepier.

2. No, it's not...
It is a really bad movie with plot holes that you could maneuver a semi through. I haven't seen the Japanese original, so I can't address it.

3. Doesn't something require a plot to have plot holes?
I watched about half of it and couldn't figure out whether or not there actually was a plot, so I turned it off. And it's VERY rare thta I won't sit through a whole movie just to give it a chance. The whole thing was pure style over substance. Sure there were some creepy visuals and shit, but there was no actualy plot.

What the hell is wrong with horror these days? It seems like nobody can (or wants to) make a genuinely good horror film anymore, and as both a film nerd and a huge fan of the idea of horror films (no necessarily horror films themselves, due to the general shittiness of them) that is really annoying.

4. No, no, and No...
"The Ring" ripoff. Couldn't watch the end either. Didn't get that far. Absolutely not worth it. You'll probably want the last 3 hours of your life back. Just my opinion!:)
