Loved this..Fantastic .I haven\'t seen this one before..

Creepy as hell! Good stuff.

good stories about a bad house.

Ahh, these were taken from the American version of the Grudge I & II. Still a great story. Creepy!

ACTUALLY THE AMERICAN VERSION RIPPED OR SHOULD I SAY REMADE IT.

Hollywood always taking their filthy hands and @#!%ing up sum movie, just like they tried to remake shutter

JUDI i watch alot of asian movies and is the american industry who is remaking horror movies from the asians sorry the grudge was made by japan filmakers,just like the eye ,dark water,and so many more asians are the kings when it comes to horror get youre facts right.

I hate that America steals Asia\'s movie ideas. I think A Tale Of Two Sisters is coming out in America, (not in theaters) Maybe I\'m wrong.

But Japan made Ju-on way before American made The Grudge.

I hate the way all of you guys(most asian) have this complex about americans. If it wasn\'t for america you wouldn\'t even have film to make movies with. And sure america is ripping off alot of asian films. But not for saying, hey america made this first, it\'s respect for the asian films. Of course asian horrors are more interesting and i like them better but alot are just stupid. America has good films The Shinning, Texas Chainsaw, The birds, all the Twilight zone episodes. They have good stories so you asian who knock american horror or movies should really think about what you are saying first of all.

\"Kingpin\" your going way off base and completely off the subject, talking about past movies when they are talking about now especially given the fact that most American horror movies now don\'t say that they are remakes, Saying \"if it wasn\'t for America BS\" now that is just rambling, you do understand that Americans and Europeans back in the day kept more records then Asians and Africans because they were too busy being poor, so you really don\'t know who made what first, because it would be like saying America came up with paper and gun powder first~ forget this, who the hell does science think they are saying that Pluto suddenly isn\'t planet, now that is some BS...

Also, didn\'t notice \"kingpin\" assuming people are Asian that are complaining, you’d be surprised about opinions of your fellow Caucasians...complex about Americans? BS, I might as well ask you about things like why the media portrays Asian people like nerds, losers, and psychos in the media or in horror remakes? such as the movie \"21\" based on a true story when surprisingly it was really 5 Asian people who did it and Shutter where they change everyone to a Caucasian and the psycho girlfriend an Asian? Get off the pride train...you’d be surprised how well people lie to make themselves look good. Being born in America and learning history and over-time realizing how twisted it really is stinks.

I never fret too much over who-made-what first. In reality, you would be hard-pressed to find anything that is actually 100% original in any form regardless of what side of the globe it\'s created on. Any media, film or otherwise, is inherently formulaic.

scary:

Can\'t we just all get along? We are a world of writers, directors and film makers. Why should there be sides? If it is good the world will like it, doesn\'t matter who makes it. Entertainment is important to all people, let\'s just be entertained, the source is unimportant. We are all human, and some day there will only be one race, a blend of all. There is no superior nation or race, we all have something to give and/or share, all are included. Let\'s maintain freedom and freely exchange, all becoming stronger together, all becoming united in love.

8/10. xxx

CORRECTION: this is not taken from the American versions of grudge one and two. The original are Japanese and the Americans took it and remake it into American versions. Which are why the Asian version are much scarier.

Much scarier indeed!

And by the way: this is definitely NOT taken from the american version, this is the very first Ju-on, released only in Japan BEFORE they did The Grudge!!!
But it is true, there are great asian movies, usually bad american remakes BUT also great american movies. No need to argue...

I usually don\'t watch the remakes, not since \"The Ring\". I was actually terrified at the American version but not so much with \"Ringu\". I still liked Ringu better. As for all the others, I will only watch the originals from Asia with the subtitles.

By the way...didn\'t a Japanese director make the American remake of the Grudge? Takashi Shimizu...wait...thats the same guy who directed \"Ju-on\" !!!! *gasp* how can this be?

I almost wet myse...ah crap!

Ok people stop talking about how America steals other horrors because they dont!They ask before remakeing it!

Fucking badass movie

i would like to give a virtual high-five to Kay, u Rule. :)

Wow.. way to be gay and argue on a movie website. Yall are sooo cool and so affected my life with your idiotic discussions. If you want to have an argument do it somewhere else. People like me read the comments to see if it is a good movie... A decent movie.. No one cares about your stupid little ramblings... So go be a hero somewhere else and freaking stick to the topic of the god dang movie.
.. Thank you.

Nice Movie.gr8 acting..8/10.

Kayakofan: You\'re right. The American movie corps. do have to get permission first. They\'ve been asking for the rights to a lot of movies lately, but they\'ve been being denied recently because Asian film makers don\'t want their movie to get a bad rep like a few remakes and originals have. I\'m actually take a class on this and it\'s really interesting - the battle between the originals not being remade, but Hollywood persisting.

Eden: I think you need to relax. They\'re not stupid ramblings. It IS a Asian movie site, they WERE talking Asian movies, so what if the discussion got a little heated? If you don\'t like it - don\'t read it.

Hey this is not working for me it always gets over in 4:40 mins......

wao / wow
japanese american...
guess what... the first 2 juons both are made by the same director...
what happened is simple...
a certain famous director in the US, saw the japanese versions in a screening and liked them so much, that out of respect...note that word for some of you who might need to respect others in the forems and opinions...
not that i\'m saying any of you don\'t...

but anyway the director in the us had the people from japan come over and between the 2 worlds of japan and America...the two \"American versions\" of ju on, were born.

it\'s a mutual respect for both the countries and cultures...
Asian and American...

which btw... i\'m Asian and American mixed...so what\'s that make me...lol here\'s a thought...
try the singular race of Human...and stop drawing petty borders...

My mum doesn\'t have a face

I\'m sorry about your mom, Captain. But yeah, to reiterate what some people have been saying. . . It\'s getting annoying hearing the same argument about who made what, who sucks, and who\'s better. Aren\'t there forums for this?

Kingpin - get a life. Texas Chainsaw isn\'t horror is a \"slasher\" movie. Watching a crazy white man butcher people is FAAAAAAAR from horror. Asians are more spiritual and thus believe in the supernatural. Twilight episodes are a thing of the past (get over it!). Asians rock when it comes to horror.!

slasher is horror, different ppl find different things scary. Take Jaws I thought it was crap but it ranks up there with the great horror movies, I don\'t think it is scary but understand why it is to others.

Anyway..this was Fuckin awesome 8/10.

With the whole America Vs Asia movies thing take it as a compliment if someone remakes a movie from your country (even if they fuck it up).

My sister no longer watchs Asian horror movies alone after the Grudge :)

@all of you .stop fighting over who made this and remade that. its really fucking stupid.

this streams way too slow :S Anyone else\'s loading slowly??

It says \"video stream not found\", so the link doesn\'t work :(

Sucks.Video not found.

we are fixing this now , we be up soon

Umm... There\'s no video.
It\'s just blank.
D:

Look above you.

i put a budgie up my nose
www.ollie-johns.co.uk
fuckin love this site

This movie was creepy, but definitely not scary. I personally found the \"scary\" parts laughable. Personally, I sort of like the American version better, but the Japanese one is pretty good as well. If your looking for this to scare the crap out of you, then don\'t waste your time.

Miaw....
Toshio so Kawaiiii..... ^^

thanks for fixing this vid, i\'ve wanted to watch it for a while, now.

there\'s no video, not working..

these movies, the ju-on series, are the greatest horror movies of all times :D there are no american copies that can beat these, fuck the US. japan is the best when it comes to dark, creepy, horror movies

I agree with Livia , i did not find this scary or creepy at all. There were a few scenes where i had a laugh or two. Speaking of which i cant see how its suppose to be scary when Toshio has his mouth open for one it doesnt go well with the \"meows\" and two it looks more like his got a jaw problem.

Get a grip guys so what if the American Remakes aren\'t up to scratch with some of the Asian Horrors, what Geminate said is true movies are made a produce purely for entertainment but some might argue there maybe other purposes now days. But it was created purely for entertainment so lets just enjoy it together.

I\'ll just point out that im an Asian. Oh and for the movie i give it 5/10 it just made the cut.

9/10
This film is a masterpiece, period.

And it’s stupid complaining about who’s ripping whom off. After all, the first horror movies we’re made by Jews (when we weren’t busy pioneering every other genre). ALL films are rip-offs. No ethnicity has a monopoly on talent,
so shut up and watch the movie.

For Asian Horror Movie fans many of the writers here don\'t seem to like Asian Horror, Horror, or know much about what they write about. The so called American movies were made in Japan, by the same Japanese Director who was fortunate to get some American money and a team of great producers (i.e. Sam Raimi) to make a higher budget JAPANESE horror movie that also had a few American Actors. If it were an American Movie, the female ghost would have been named something like Kayla, and the boy would have also used his middle name , like Justin Thomas Milquetoast. Well, something like that. I suggest all of you people who seem to think that we will like you better if you act like you hate your country, like your president does, to stop. We\'re not impressed.

i\'m confused..kanna went to feed the rabbits..later the body of someone in the rabbits cage was found they found a jaw along with it saying the jaw was someone else\'s.. then you see kanna without her jaw at home...who was in the rabbit cage then?

now THIS is horror.
and i love it.
i must of watched this hundred times already.

Could anybody tell me what movie has a japanese(asian) lady appearing on the background of every photo the one guy took? i forgot most of the movie. all i remember, almost to the end of the movie this guy develop all his pictures and when he takes a good look at his picture, he sees a young(around her 30s/early 40s)asian lady in the background of every picture he took??? AND ITS NOT SHUTTER lol

This wasn\'t even scary man lol, and the movies too damn short.

i watch and enjoy these films cos the american market has dried up on good storylines, i realise because they need to put bums on seats there will never be a truly scary shit yourself film being made cos its all about making money..

My goodness you guys are ridiculous. BTW for your information alot of Americans produce really good Horror, mostly in books. In fact we have an untapped resource of Horro here in America that is almost perpetual. A fantastic writer. HP Lovecraft. Yes some films have been made based upon his stuff or regarding the genereal Cthulu Mythos, But you know what? and mind you Im a Caucasian myself and a proud American. I think the reason alot the American remakes are sucky, isnt just because they dont know what they are doing I think its a couple of things, First its cultural. American fans of Asina Horror Should get this with out even thinking. Cultural. What scares them may not scare us. vice versa. For instance I thought the original-Ju-on was Creepy, and I liked the story. But I thought the American Versions were far superior in the sense of horror. and thus far creepier. Sorry the bad guy is Asian, but it had to be someone. Part 3 in America sucked though.
Second I think its simply dumbed down. I dont mean to imply the Japanese are smarter than us, but I definitely think they are more well educated. Many Americans barely understand the TV they watch. Have you ever really sat with a diverse group of people all watching the same show. Some of them have no Idea what is going on. Even when they are paying attention. Its like guiding young children through a movie. Lets face it, America is a really dumbed down country. I hate to admit it, but its true, Im surprised we are where we are, and we have the people who dont waste time with football to thank for it. Quarter backs are just grunts waiting to be handed a shovel, by the guy with a pocket protector. hahahaha.

omg, just stop talking all this nonsense! if you like it, you like it, if you dont, you dont. if you dont like it, you dont have to start criticizing it, not to be mean.

this movie is not working please fix it soon...

Just checked it and the movie is working fine.

Judi... the american version was copied from the japanese. I had it way before the american one.The pulse was another movie copied by America. I guess the Ring started it. lol

Not meaning to offend by the way. I am an american. I love and respect the japanese. Most of my friends are asian esp... japanese

Can you possibly change the player to the google one or have multiple links to players. I can\'t finish any movies because of megavideo. Much appreciated. Love this website.

Actually can you do that about all the movies. Thanx

I just love all of ju on series. except the grudge 3(2009). real SUCKED...!!!

Video not working. only a blank white screen.

Just checked this movie and it seems to be playing fine. Try refreshing the page and try again.It can take a few seconds for the movie to appear

i love this site n thank u 4 hosting it! 4 some reason it only lets me watch 40mins of it! how do i stop this 4rm happening soi can watch the full movie?

Great movie! LOL the only person with good sense in this one is that chick that got the hell outta there
LOL! Creepy stuff, I will check out the rest of them.

why so short? because i was born this way you rude swine!

i am korean and live in korea though i go to america too. i will have you all american movie haters that to us asians, america makes the greates horor movies and the greatest just movies of all time. you just like asian movies because its a change from yours. but american movies are so realistic and make you think they can happen to you. JAWS. i was scared to go swimming. THE FOURTH KIND. i had the ladys scary face in my head forever. DAWN OF THE DEAD. that was the creepiest zombie move ever. AND MORE. so just SHUT UP. lets all agree that we have our own opinions. i speak on the behalf of most asians.

A good story but it didn't creep me out, thanks for the film AHM x

lol this debate has on who made it first has been goin on 2 years now :) i think tho asian horrors are much better then us ones i couldnt take a photo for weeks after seeing shutter and have a sore back now for some reason :/ and the messages in asian films are so much better like in suicide club or bupha rahtree

hm americans..steals everything..even the word americans..do they think that only they are the hole america? ^^ and yea they steal the credits of the movies and get oscars etc..bull shit

I read all this stuff about Am-Horror vs As-horror and the like...I for one just think Americans and Asians have different ideas as to what horror really is. America tends to go more for the "ick" factor aka Blood, guts, and gore. Asians use something humans have in abundance: fear of the unknown. If you don't know what's happening, you will be more scared. A more fitting match up for Asian horror is Supernatural thriller. American horror is great...but more often than not, more bloody. If you like a good amount of blood with your horror, American is the way to go. If you don't like large amounts of gore and guts, but still want to wonder if you're still ALONE in your room at night when no one is there, then go Asian horror or supernatural thriller. I would go into the latter category; I don't like watching a movie that has blood somewhere on the screen for over 50% of the time.

Second note: Yes, Hollywood "steals" movies and remakes them. Yes, they try to take all the credit sometimes. But they did put some effort into it. The story isn't theirs, but the time and money for actors and Sp. Effects are. If you like the originals better, good for you. If not, no need to fight about it. If America just took films, dubbed them, THEN tried to take credit for it, we might have a bit of a disagreement. But they put just a LITTLE less effort into it than the makers of the originals. I think the Sp effects of the American version was better, and Kayako was creepier. But...I like the story of Ju-on better. It all a matter of personal opinion.
BTW...If I sound like retard...now you know what you sound like.

Man do i hate you bunch of assholes.Go fuck you're self.If you don't like American movies don't watch them.But guess what you say you don't like American movies but you'll copy every thing about are country,from music to films,and also clothing.So go on and talk about America stealing you're movies but you sell you're own self out by helping remake these film's.There filmed in Japan by Japanese director's.So if you don't like it blame you're self.

Best horror movie I have ever seen and totally took me for a ride on the roller coaster, which in my opinion is what the best horror movies should do. And no gore, sex, violence actually seen on screen. Shows how it can be and still scare the living day lights out of us, i.m.h.o. Watched it in the dark, in bed, recovering from a migraine so sound down to zero reading the English subtitles, (easy as script so minimalist), and it scared the living daylights out of me. Without the sound, try it, if you get the chance it is even more scary, and I actually felt at times the dark face was looking straight at me, expecially when the guy was reviewing the video on his own when the security guard disappeared, and the others left the room. Oh boy oh boy, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Oh this is a superb classic!! Would buy it on DVD for sure. Oh my God I was frightened the whole way through. Wonderful fantastic movie!! The best.

Actually the first two American Grudge films were directed by the guy that made the Japanese versions.

Uhh, Kay... 21 (if youre referring to the Blackjack movie) wasn't based on Asians at all.

Anyways, the American releases of the Grudge were directed by Takashi Shimizu. Just so everyone knows. It wasn't a bunch of Americans saying "Let's steal Japan's idea!"

man f*ucken creepy but good movie so dawn scary of how she crawls on the floor with blood hate the cat boy bleh they put to much powder on their faces

Okay guys, cut it out. I was reading through the comments and was really surprised by all the arguing O.O

Ju-On was indeed made first, and yes, The Grudge is the American remake. Personally I think they're both pretty good. Ju-On plays a little more on the mind, but the American version (since it was made later) has much better special effects and isn't afraid to show gore.

So who cares which was made first? They're both very good, and I honestly enjoy watching them. This should never have been turning into a racial mudslinging =.=

"cassie"the point is that all of you like the movie its a good movie whether you like this version or not the story and the concept is the same sure some things are diffrent chun hei is right i have a korean friend named hyun he hates korea and loves japan when i asked him why he said becuase hes tired of his culture he likes diffrent things like he hates korean movies i like them . he likes american and japanese movies.its how it is .and all countries are twisted not just america its the same every where in mexico in japan in korea in englad germany africa everywhere every country has done something stupid or inhumane but whatever its human nature get over this bs and whatch the movie and enjoy it nothing is perfect

great movie, but personally i prefer the American version of the first movie, coz they kinda string the story together much better. But the jap version of the 2 & 3 are much better.. Anyway, asian horror movies are creepier and the story always has a nice progression, and unlike some american movies, the people killed are not just random people who happen to come across the killer, they're actually part of the whole plot, which makes horror movies much nicer to watch than just showing people get their heads chopped off pointlessly. But i'm not saying american movies are cheap, i love them, especially gothika .

check it out before sayin somthin about grudge remake and watsoevaa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grudge

i don't know what's going on after watchin for 3mins then it suddenly stopped and says "YOU HAVE WATCHED 72 MINS OF VIDEO TODAY" "PLEASE WAIT 52 MINUTESN OR CLICK HERE TO ENJOY UNLIMITED USE OF MEGA VIDEO". sorry but i'm just confused i just started watchin for 3mins how come it says i have watched 72mins of video today... help pls....

the baby torture scene is really fucked up

There is no screen Sada. Please fix this.

how could someone say this was a remake of the american version!? that pisses me off. america (my country) effin ripped off this movie! they (i dont count myself as american) are always stealing movies from asia, and the remakes always suck!

we all know they need permission to remake a movie from asia, but how is it that america cannot come up with original ideas anymore? they are making remakes of asian movies, and making movies based on books, and even remaking old movies.....i want something interesting AND original. something new would be nice! (by the way) im american, and im complaining about america. not all these people are asian on here.

last one. i hope noone else posts anything else about remakes and whatnot (i just like to express my opinion >_

wow...i didn't think kayako could get any weirder...すごく変だね。

Technicaly remakes introduce people to asian horror.For an example I found out THE RING and THE GRUDGE were Asian horror movies before they came to America and now im in love with Asian horror and at least The Grudge was made by the same director who did the Japanese version.

Ah sada,you know how to scare us all dont you?Great movie

I usually like the original Asian movies better (like this one) but just to stir the pot, I'd have to say I have seen some really dumb Asian horror movies as well as American ones. Neither country always gets it right.
