Top 12 creepy horror movies that you shouldn’t watch alone
11. The Grudge
Following on from the success of The Ring, the 2004 movie The Grudge is one more creepy example of this trend.
It features a nurse, played by Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar, who witnesses a terrifying ghostly attack while caring for a patient with dementia.
As the movie unfolds, we learn that these ghosts have good reason for holding a grudge against the living, and that they are determined to continue to carry out their reign of terror.
The producers decided to base the movie in Japan to add a sense of mystery and isolation that makes the events seem even more terrifying. The film is based on the theory that when a person dies in violent circumstances, a curse is born that transfers to another living person and then causes their untimely death.
The curse becomes a vicious cycle growing even more powerful with each victim. Studio executives brought in director Takashi Shimizu who was also responsible for the original Japanese version.
The film is an impressive remake that features an incredibly disturbing death gargle from the vengeful spirits that will stay with you long after the film has ended.
