i went to go see ju-on: the grudge today at a little empty theater near the ocean. this is the japanese version that is playing the indie circuit right now, before the hollywood version comes out for halloween starring buffy.

anyway, if the american version is even half as scary, it will be still hard to watch. this movie was frightening. it's hard to explain unless you've seen it because it's more visual and horrific than simply saying there's a bad guy or something. it's creepy and never stops; in fact the movie opens by getting under your skin immediately. i sat with my hands almost covering my eyes the whole time. scary.
