Just wanted to know:
Are you referring with "The Grudge" to the 2003 Japanese Movie "Ju-On: The Grudge" or the cheap, trying way to hard 2004 American Remake with Sarah Michelle "I'm so damn boring" Gellar?
I haven't seen 2000's "Ju-On" yet, but I really liked the Japanese "Grudge" - that movie was rad! -

I almost liked the American version of The Grudge better than the original. I don't feel that the added gore took away from the film at all, not did the removed sceen about the school girl who has the curse, whos friends come to visit her
It was also nice to see that they tried to show a bit on the ghost family, and how they all died. Definatly better than the American Ring, but then again, this made by the same guys who made the original.
My gripe with this is Gellar! I was shocked at what a good job she was doing in the film
till the end where she faces off with the ghosts herself. Everything was going smoothly then, BAM, she seemed to drop out of character, magically cease to be totally horrified, and jumped into her Buffy character almost, or rather a sceen from Die Hard? I dunno, I just feel that she insisted upon doing that in the film, and the director, trusting her judgment, ok'ed it.
All in all the remake was a great ride, just a BIG let down in the end.
Anyhow, what you guys NEED to do, is get a hold of the Ju-On series:
Ju-On - The Curse 1 and 2
Ju-On - The Gudge 1 and 2.
This is the REAL way to experience this movie!
Also check out Dark Water, a film I personally feel is even better, even though it shows less. Amazing, but true!:) -

Dude
Actually there aren't 3 versions of this film ..
ju-on the curse
ju-on the curse 2
ju-on the grudge
ju-on the grudge 2
the grudge
So .. these 5 movies were made right ?!
But these movies ain't different versions of eachother except for The Grudge which is a remake of the 3th movie, but also has hints & scenes from the first 2 movies.
Correct moi if i'm wrong !
But if u wanna know which one is better u should see them yourself right ?!
But if u wanna know which one I think is best i would say Ju-on The Grudge ( original ) But this is only because i've seen this movie first instead of Ju-On : The Curse 1 & 2.
U still dig whot i'm sayin'?! -

The Second original is the best.
This one (Ju-on the Curse) has the story of the teacher. Same actors who play Kayako & Takeo in remake but different Toshio.
Ju-on the Grudge is mostly the rest of the story but is much better & a lot more easier to understand than the first one. It's Very, Very creepy. Same actors play Kayako, Takeo & Toshio as the American version.
The Grudge Remake.. Good until about 30 mins from the end then well it just sucked.
Basically with the remake what they did was take teacher story & the rest of it & put them together.
I haven't seen the other 2 yet so I don't know how they fit in. -

The Grudge.alright
Ju-on..INCREDBLE
The Grudge was enjoyable. For a while I loved it. Until today. Today I saw Ju-on, and I must say, the people who wrote The Grudge screwed it up SO bad. They made Kayako stupid looking and unrealistic, made it WAY to much like The Ring, and lacked Toshio to much. It wasn't as scary, while now, after watching Ju-on, I can't type without shaking. They cut out the futuristic scene, the best part of the whole movie, and just screwed it up.
So Ju-on. Obviously.
Samara's my sister and Saddako's my cousin. Beware, their powers are alive in me. -

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. -
