Scare yourself senseless...3 times!

Advantages: 3 great scary movies in one!

Review of The Grudge / Gothika / Boogeyman (DVD)

Buffy, Cat Boy, and Misslocated

Advantages: A little kid who makes cat noises
Disadvantages: Real children are now disappointing

The Grudge is a remake of an original japanese horror flick. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Bill Pullman are the most recognisable stars. The sounds and camera angles add to the suspense and the horror parts are well done - i.e. not pushing the blood and gore angle too far - but concentrating on the suspense up to that moment. The special effects were well done; it has a creepy child (SO many horror flicks use this since the days of "Village of the Damned"); ...
