If it was the original Japanese version of "The Grudge", I'd have gone for that but it isn't so "Hot Fuzz" for me.

Ironically I have to dissagee with you, I found the re-make better than the original version.. and I never really understood why as the Original Ring was beyon comparison to the remake.. so much better..

The reason is... same director! bigger budget... and he is masterful at horror.

If you like the grudge you will like Del Torro's mama.. I will keep pimping it till someone else says they've seen it..

 

[Caribou]

SO MANHUNTER!!! I've not seen it! Yay!!!

it's an oldie but a goodie

I'm waiting for Hannibal the series next week on Sky... A cross between Dexter and Dangerous Minds I suspect.... Actually I think I just talked myself out of waiting for it

 

[psykokow]

I have a few episodes of it, but I have not yet watched it.. aparently quite disturbing..

Im have another series called cult, not watched it either... i enjoy my usual crap too much.. enjoying very much Defiance.

[Styggron]

looks like another set where I would say "none of them"

 

[psykokow]

it does have that dated feel, when Z listers were the A!!

 

[Frank]

My thoughts as well... The most 80's film I've ever seen

 

[psykokow]

I watched in HD thinking... is this really HD?? lol it was super high definition grainyness

I just watched it in SD, but there were some great shots in it.

There was also some great acting and an amazing plot. I'm not sure why I didn't think much of the film. It might've been the fact it took itself so very seriously. It might've been down to poor editing. The music was obtrusive. Maybe to a 1980's ear the electropop wouldn't have been so noticeable.
