I don't know if anyone saw this coming, but the U.S. remake of "The Grudge" raked in 40 million over the weekend. That sure surprised me. I'm guessing people went to see the movie for Sarah Michelle Gellar than anything else, but hey, whatever works!
Before I get into this, let me say that 7 Samurai was very very very awesome.
Moving on; since when was this news? Copying films.
Secondly; its not like its a smart idea.
Take the recent copycats. Ringu and Ju-on.
Both sh*t movies in my opinion, whether in Japan, or otherwise.
So America's big push is to crank out remakes of bad Japanese films.
With that said...who cares? I mean...its not like hollywood wants to remake a fairly recent GOOD Japanese movie like Adreanaline Drive or something.
Speaking of bad horror films, is there a horror film out of Japan that doesnt have to do with shock or gore?
It seems like every horror film of recent times has to deal with brutality and shock tactics. Whatever happened to intelligent horror? I know nobody will agree with me, but a movie like Phantasm. What happened to films like that?
