The Grudge Narrative Essay Example

Japanese believe if a person dies in a fit of rage, their spirit continues to haunt the living.

The acting by Sarah Michelle Gellar during the movie was good and the rest of the acting isn't bad either, there really wasn't any actor that didn't do a good job fulfilling his or her part. The films special effects are also pretty good, they are also very freighting as well. The best thing about the movie and what really makes the movie so scary is that it has some great cinematography. The shots look good, and there are a great number of shots in the movie. The scenes are weird and a little outrageous at times from the repeated gruesome images of a bloodied woman, depictions of suicides, murders, to the disfigured body parts, but I do like how the film does fit the disjointed scenes together, it leaves your imagination filling in the holes far better than the camera can. This movie mange's to scare the audience not only with the visual aspect but also with the use of surround sound of creaking stairways, scary music, slowly opened doors and so much more. The film gives you all the surprises and scares you can handle in one movie. That is what I like most about the movie.
