bad actors and not scary at allToshio and Kayako were boring-lookingand it had too much bad scenes

I've always found The Grudge to be better. Even though I saw the Grudge first I think it's much better. THe girl was done better in The Grudge, they did have a bigger budget on the film but I'm not going to say the others ones better just because they did well enough with a small budget. America had a bigger budget which made the movie a LOT better. So I always loved The Grudge.

I enjoyed both, actually.
However in Ju-on, they don't explain that Toshio's mother was attemopting to have an affair with a teacher, and the possibility that Toshio may or may not have been Toshio's father's real son. They hint at it, but that's it.
In Grudge, I disliked the whole "twu wub" deal with Sarah Michelle going to the haunted house AGAIN to save her boyfriend, who is stupid enough to try and burn it down. If it were me, I would be single again. -

The American version is Ju-on for Dummies. Everything is explaned or is tried to be explaned. It's turned into a typical OMG JUMP version of Ju-on and is simply just another crappy remake. It has the same faults as the American version of Ringu. I was scared at it at first but then it just started being boring. I've tried seeing it more than once but it's just boring. I would say it was turned into a more Western ghost story than where it originally came from.
Ju-on is confusing, little is explained, you are placed into what the characters sees or feels and it's all about suspense. There's a point in how it's made. Not as big a bugdget but it shows that you can make a movie like that without an American budget. I can actually watch this one again and again and find something else I didn't notice. It intrigues me which is far better that OMG JUMP version.
