Dead blue people scare me

From Moviesonline, "This just in, the sequel to 2004's scary thriller The Grudge, is well underway shooting. The Grudge, who in 2004 saw Sarah Michelle Gellar battling a mysterious and evil force, left audiences wide eyed and gripping their seats. The sequel, will have Gellar back, but will focus on Gellar's younger sister, who is played by Amber Tamblyn. The story is about Tamblyn and a host of new characters that return long enough to pass on the supernatural curse. The characters find themselves connected by the same terrifying curse that has plagued and taken the lives on other innocent people. The plot is rumoured to mainly be based around the Tokyo house, as a film crew do an investigation on the 'haunted' house for a TV special. And well, one by one, they all fall prey to the mysterious force. Horror director, Takashi Shimizu returns to direct the sequel.

Personally, The Grudge had its moments, and to be honest the best part of the movie is seeing Buffy back on the screen, but I felt even though the movie had its creepy parts, it almost didn't make much sense. We'll see what The Grudge 2 holds in store for us, and most likely will lead up to the trilogy which has totally never been done before, especially in the horror genre."

Pretty funny that Amber Tamblyn, who got whacked by Samara, is now facing off vs. Kayako and her spooky brat. Not the resume I'd want.

You know, it's puzzled me in the past when a movie has a non-linear storyline and that's the main thing people need to mention about it. Then I hear this guy say Grudge "didn't make sense" and I remember that we live in a country of idiots.
