“ The Grudge” Captures the Lead

“The Grudge” hit movie theaters everywhere last Friday, and it has already taken away the top spot from “Shark Tale” which has held the number one spot for the last three weeks. “The Grudge” is a remake of a Japanese haunted-house thriller staring Sarah Michelle Gellar. “The Grudge” was a low-budget movie which sold over 40 million tickets in its first three days of showing doubling the director’s expectations. “The Grudge” is rated PG-13 and was directed by Takashi Shimizu who stated that this remake only cost $10 million to produce.

Personal Insight: I saw “The Grudge” over the weekend and it was scary thriller similar to “The Ring.”
