Yo! For real for real, The Grudge scared the s*** outta me! Big ups to my man Kid CV for hooking up the sneak peak -- if it ain’t Carlito’s way, then we got a problem, but back to the subject at hand. Let me tell y’all something, I keeps it gully in the hood man, but when it comes to spirits and demons that a toast can’t burn and a banger can’t cut, then I’m feeling pretty helpless, you know what I’m saying. Much respect due to Takashi Shimizu, son put together a masterpiece in my opinion. And just to let you know, it takes a lot for a movie to scare me, man. The Exorcist ain’t really do me no harm, and I was only 8 when I peeped it. I’m 24 right now, and The Grudge left some psychological trauma effects on me.
The movie’s basically about two ghosts that haunt a house, and if anyone even sets even one foot in that house, it’s a wrap for you. The ghosts will follow you wherever you go until they merc ya ass. Even with a PG-13 rating, the movie was pretty gruesome. So who’s the next victim to get got? Yup, Sarah “The Chipmunk” Michelle Gellar.
On the reals though, Sarah Michelle Gellar did her thing in this joint! She wasn’t trying to be hard like Buffy or nothing like that, she was straight up ace, but she played that role to a T. She played this chick called Karen Davis who traveled to Japan to hold her man down in school. Her man was that alien dude on “Roswell” on UPN, the main character. He was a bird, but that’s neither here nor there. So whatever whatever, she becomes a home attendant for this old lady that doesn’t talk and just sleeps all day and stares into space, cause the old lady’s regular home attendant mysteriously disappeared (but we see what happened to her before anything pops off. That scene was gangsta as hell too.) So now it’s on Sarah to take care of the old lady.
Once inside the house, a whole bunch of wild things start to happen that even I wasn’t ready for, and if I told you once, I’ll tell you again, I keeps it gangsta. But some things, I wasn’t expecting, and it really caught me off guard. My body hairs must’ve stood up like 10 times. I got to the block after the flick looking like a porcupine, son. Whenever one of my dawgs gave me a pound with a bear hug, they left hand was a little bloody like, “Damn O! Did you go to acupuncture and forget to take out the needles from your back?!”
The gangsta thing about the movie was that people were getting done up every 15 minutes or so, so you know the body count was pretty deep, and who doesn’t love a movie with a big body count? And on top of that, In between all these murders, the story line gets iller and more gully. And we don’t have to wait the whole movie to see the demons either -- we get to see the first demon damn near at the beginning of the movie and every time someone gets it. That’s what’s up!
The atmosphere for the movie was great. It was real dark and gloomy. The story line was on point and the acting was poppin’. But one of the more intriguing things about The Grudge was the fact that there was like three different stories told that tied into the big picture lovely! It was like flashback sequences, but not little scenes or images, It was like 15-minute story flashbacks. That was tooooooo gangsta. There was not one boring minute in the movie.
When it was over and I was out, The Grudge gets five gangstas!!!!!
The movie was a horror classic in my opinion. When I said Five Gangstas, my man Khalid was flipping, like, “I refuse to accept that.” And when I told him it was iller then The Ring, son was ready to start thumping with me. That’s my man though, so I can’t blame him for how he feels. But I really do feel that The Grudge was more gangsta than The Ring. If I could, I’d give it 6 gangstas, but I can’t. The Ring was a classic too, don’t get it twisted, but Grudge was just on another level with all the scary s***, storylines and the ending will not disappoint. If you don’t agree with me, then holla back, cause I stands by my story! Uno.
