If you have a pure affection for scary scenes you may find this movie pretty enjoyable. But most of us are human beings with a power to reason and that's where this film has completely failed us!
To start with I really don't know what this "grudge" means despite the explanation in the film. There's completely no logic.
Alright, a boy and an apparently innocent and good looking woman ( even in her ghost look) was brutally killed. They have turned into ghosts. I can take that. But why have they at the same time lost their minds and start murdering everyone they can get hold of? What are they up to? And can anyone tell me how the hell can ghost be reborn as human again? Is the reborn girl a hybrid inborn with the aptitude of pushing her mom down the stairs at the age of 5?
I mean, every day there are brutal murders to innocent people everywhere and these islands of grudges set up could have erased the human race in months if according to this"grudge" principle. What would the world be like if it is filled of grudged ghosts without humans?
The storyteller must give us humans some logic to chew on, some codes to comprehend ghosts' behavior, and some clues to untie the knot! This had not happened in the film. Instead, Shimizu untiringly performs the same trick over and over again , resulting in death after death from the same predators, and in very similar manners, and for no reasons.
Even if the logic is to be revealed in the later sequel it will be too late. We have to have a reason to bring us through these 3 hours of mutilation of human beings by angry ghosts to prevent us from becoming angry audience, and ending up having grudges against the movie.
Man, we need a storyline to go on! Not just scary scenes!
