fragmented structure was annoying. Normally they'll change the look of the filming at least to give you a clue that something is different.
And yeah, there are a lot of spoilers here. Tough shit. Why click on a link to a movie you haven't seen yet? You should expect spoilers. Deal with it or stop reading
There are a lot of things in the movie that were needlessly confusing.
Why did "it" have Gellar go in The Frighteners-style and go back in time and see what happened, and then let her out of the house? Why did the grudge kill the old lady and not Gellar? Only to back later and kill Gellar?
Why did some people die, and some people just got really scared? Pullman? The old lady?
If that house was infected, then wouldn't the hospital now be infected? And the daughter's apartment? And the Senior's center? Wouldn't all of Japan eventually be infected?
Why did the Grudge not kill everyone that was in the house? There were all sorts of police offers that were in the house immediately after the main murder. The lead detective's partner didn't die. I remember there were a few other people who had been in the house that didn't die.
I'll probably think of more.
This movie and Saw were both riddled with plot holes. I don't understand why it's so hard to make a scary movie that isn't completely flawed. Or at least make one where you don't realize the flaws until after the movie and you think back. But these movies were both movies that as I watched, I was thinking "well, that doesn't make sense".
