Review: 'The Grudge'

Premise: Will this movie scare?
Pros: Yes
Cons: Jumbled plot
Scary as hell. Stars Sarah Michelle Gellar (delightfully delicious) and Jason Behr (mofo hot) as a young in-love couple who comes across a horrific evil hidden terror that dwells in a house in Japan. Action. Scares. Etc. What the audience would like, I think, is more character development between the two headliners. (And, alas, there will be a sequel according to production company Ghost House Pictures, so who knows?) There are some nice fish-out-of-water moments about what it's like to live abroad. Nice work by actress Grace Zabriskie who appears as the older mentally ill woman; she seems to pop up a lot in different kinds of great supporting roles (you might recognize her from Seinfeld as George's dead finance's mother). Great character actress.
Number of stars: Ah, who cares.
