"Ju-On: The Grudge"
Very good movie overall. Better than the US movie(s). Of course, leave it to us Americans to split one movie into two. I thought the part where she crawls down the steps was much creepier in this version than in the US version. Does anyone know if they used some of the same actors from this movie in the US versions? The "peek-a-boo guy" was hilarious, and he appeared in "Grudge 2". He looked like the same guy. Also the murdering father and Toshio (the little boy) looked like the same actor.
"Ju-On 2"
Totally different story from either of the US movies. Very good movie as well. Not as good/creepy as the first one, but it had an interesting plot. I liked how it showed each characters own story and then tied them all together.
I liked both movies better than their American counterparts, if not simply for the fact that they were originals and were Japanese.
Edit: Watched two more movies tonight.
"Silent Hill"
An okay movie overall. Pretty generic for the most part. I thought some of the acting was bad. I've never played any of the video games, but I thought the movie did have kind of a video game feel/look to it. I liked the whole religious fanaticism thing they had going on. Didn't find this scary in the least bit though, and some of the more gruesome parts didn't bother me at all in comparison with some of the people I was watching it with. Haha, the effects of extreme metal.
"The Wicker Man" (Original)
I was kind of disappointed with this. A lot of build-up and then it just ends. It was kind of interesting, but it didn't turn out to be as freaky or mysterious as I had hoped.
