Hollywood remakes

[gubi-gubi]

The Grudge on the other hand just seemed stupid; it went for 'something suddenly pops out' kind of horror & just ended up be lame. And there was sooo much about it that felt left out, but seeing as how I've never watched the original I have don't know if there was, & was wondering if someone could enlighten me on this.
I've had one guy tell me both movies were better in japanese format, but he was just trying to sound like an elitest.

Thing with The Grudge is that the Japanese one was crap and didn't explain anything at all. In fact it's a Japanese trait to have films that are vauge as hell. The Japanese Grudge had less explanation in it than the USA version which then leaves the USA script writers trying to add some story in it (like with the teacher or whatever in the USA Grudge). Same with all the horses and stuff in the USA Ring.
