The Forgotten, The Grudge

Rented from Blockbuster: A pair of stylish horror flicks.

The Forgotten

I'll tell you what was "Forgotten" here - the friggin' third act. What an atrocious ending to a fairly promising chiller. Come to theink of it the second act was fairly pedestrian as well. So The Forgotten starts off well, stylish direction, teriffic NYC & Brooklyn locations, decent (for a genre flick) performances but then...

Not so much bad as very disappointing.

The Grudge

Fairly good remake of the modern Japanese horror classic Ju-On - likely due to the masterstroke of having the original Japanese director helm it while keeping the film in Japan.

The original edges out the remake in most areas but for the subtitle phobic The Grudge is an excellent substitute and for the rerst of us a worthy re-imagining.
