I just don't think the American films do the originals justice.
Oh, it isn't a remake? I thought it was. I saw the Japanese Premonition a couple years before the American one came out, so I was like "Oh damn, another remake" but eh. I'm glad it's not.
I watched The Grudge and The Grudge 2 also, but that was because the original director was still the director for both films. And after being a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer almost my entire life, I stalk anything that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in.

I know. That annoys me to no end.
Huh. I hadn't heard about that. I'm staying far away.
They absolutely don't.
I haven't seen the Japanese one yet. I saw a preview for it though, on another DVD. and the storylines are completely different. I think even the premise is completely different, for each.
I actually heard of The Grudge before Ju-on, so I didn't have any idea who the director was at the time.
I looked into Ju-on, after watching the first Grudge film.
That's when I first heard of her too. (I'll need to PM you.)
