I was asked why I never got around to ranting about The Grudge. I thought I did all my ranting while the movie was playing… Truly awful, not scary, barely any plot, fake behavior, unrealistic dialogue, and I’ve already wasted 90 minutes of my life on it. Why waste more?
Movies don’t scare me. And don’t try to give me recommendations about movies that scared the bejeezus out of you; every time I foolishly take someone up on their recommendation, I waste another 90 minutes on another plot-free piece of junk where the story would have only taken 10 minutes if the director wasn’t busy trying to stretch out the suspense. They just don’t. I’ve seen much scarier stuff in real life.
