The Little Boy Says Meow: Ju-On: The Grudge (Japan, 2002) & The Grudge (USA and Japan, 2004)

When someone dies in an extreme rage, a curse is born. When it happens in Japan, it becomes a cult classic and spawns several sequels and remakes. But are they deserved?

Marcus, Melissa and Grady dive into the Japanese original and the 2004 American remake. Also, is Tina Belcher the reincarnation of its famous groaning ghost?
