Just finished watching The Grudge 2. I won't lie, the movie put me on edge. Kayako is one freaky deaky lady I would not want to meet in any shape or form. But the real reason of writing this entry is not to point out to you that I'm chicken shit. No, my friends, this is a face off. In one corner, we have Kayako from the Grudge series. In the other, Samara of the Ring Series. Let the battle begin.
And, hey, just to warn you, this entry might be a little bit scary. Mainly because of the pictures I will be posting on this. Just warning ya.
Round one:
How do we meet these ladies?
Well, for a lovely evening with Samara, all you'd have to do is watch the tape. Super easy to avoid. And if you're ever peer pressured into watching it, just say, "Hey man! I heard that movie sucks. Now Cabin Fever...that's a movie!"
As for Kayako, it started out that for her to cling on to you, you'd just have to enter her house. Again, super easy to avoid (unless you're E-Dubbers who, for lack of anything to do in East Windsor, feel that breaking into abandoned houses is fun), but it switches things up in the sequel. Turns out the house was only binding the spirit in place. Once burnt down (which actually, I wouldn't say it was burnt down - it still stands) it released Kayako so that she now jumps from one victim to the next. You don't even have to be in Japan for her to show up at your door. A friend calls you moments before she dies and lucky you, you're next.
Point 1 for Kayako.
Round 2:
Who's a bigger tease?
And by tease I totally mean who torments you most horribly before she decides you're no longer fun. When the grudge sticks to you, you feel her (Kayako) around you. One moment you see a white robe, but you look again because something...just...isn't...right, and that's when she steps out. Plus you get annoying phone calls from her making that rattling cackle noise. The ghosts of your friends haunt you too beside her. She shows up in pictures, reflections, anywhere, everywhere. She crawls up through your bed. Scary.
As for Samara, well you watch the tape you get seven days to..uhhh...you know, disbelieve everything until the final minutes are ticking away or being a complete ass of a friend and tricking your other friends to see it. And what does one see after seeing the tape anyhow? Well, you notice that there is a circle in everything you see. Look, Starbucks Coffee has an 0. The school zone sign has two 0's. Did anyone notice that the wheel on a car is also circular? Lame. Plus, you notice ladders.
whoop-dee-doo
Plus, not only do you have to contend with Kayako, but also her son, Toshio. Never in my life had I heard a cat meow sound so scary as when he does it. And he seems to have the power to warp you inside the house. You think you could beat up this kid?
Maybe you can think it, but believe me you can't. Point to Kayako again.
Round 3:
When they walk/crawl, who really brings sexy back?
Well, they both walk the same to say the least. And they both look similar as they walk (long black hair over the face, pasty white skin, white dress). But I read that the actress who plays Kayako really moves and twitches like that. No cgi, no special effects or editing. All real. That's bad ass. Point to the actress, and another to the character Kayako.
Round 4:
Who's prettier?
This is the scary part. Two pictures below. Captured at what is considered by many their most frightening posture. And I'll let you make the final decision. First, Samara:
And, Kayako
Ugh, I can't even look at the last one. It freaks me out.
Well, that about wraps it up. We all know who the winner is here. Kayako is far scarier and horrific than her Ring counterpart.
Nuff' Said.
