TASK 5- Rewiev of a Film-

This film is starred in by Sarah Michelle Gellar, the main character of “Buffy”, the famous vampire serial, which made her a renowned actress.

The plot tell us about a guy who threw him from his flat’s balcony, dying instantly.Then it’s shown a family looking for a place where to live , due to Matthew- Jennifer’s husband- had been sent to working in Japan, the place where the story happens. Finally, they choose a beautiful and roomy house, where strange things happens.Jennifer is the first in realize suspect things and she decides to investigating about it; sadly she is attacked by terrible soul of died child, which kills her and Matthew with a scaring shout.

Cast: Jason Behr, KaDee Strickland, William Mapother, Bill Pullman, Rosa Blasi, Clea Duvall, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Grace Zabriskie it’s shown Karen-Sarah Michelle Gellar-, a social service student, who belongs to Care Office, institution that makes social service.Due to Yoko, a nurse that carried out Emma care, doesn’t go to Care Office,

Karen was contacted to replace her. Karen was so excited with news, since this is the first time that she goes to looking after somebody. We are talking about Matthew’s mother, an old woman that spent the day sleeping, without eat and speak neither.

When Karen went to Emma’s house( the same where Jennifer, Matthew and his mother lived together), realizes, such as Jennifer, of mysterious happenings, for example a child shut in wardrobe. Once , Emma got “static” looking towards roof, then Karen, did the same and saw an horrible thing that was getting nearer and nearer and kills to old woman and affects seriously to Karen, who never came back to be the same after this.

To make shorter the story, I tell you that child and his mother( who at the end of film kills Karen’s boyfriend) were killed by the father and husband of them, because he discovers his wife fell in love of man who commited suicide at begining of film.

The subject that director wants to show is related with an ancient japanese legend called “The Grudge”, which tells that when somebody dies in a dramatic situation, the place where this occurs and each person that visits it, get cursed.

I think this film is quite interesting, since director approaches get us near from japanese culture, which is quite strange and unconnected with a lot of people.Moreover , this film shows excelent actors, they do a nice job, definitely they are credible.

On the other hand, there are things that I didn't like , for example, some grotesque scenes that show a woman without her mandible and dripping blood.
