The Grudge

Audience emotional responses are primarily dominated by intense fear and anxiety, stemming from the relentless, vengeful supernatural spirit and the pervasive curse. The film effectively creates a deeply disturbing atmosphere through its chilling visuals and sound design. Anticipation is high as viewers await the next terrifying encounter or revelation about the curse's mechanics, often leading to moments of surprise through well-executed jump scares and unexpected plot developments. There's also a significant sense of curiosity as the mystery of the curse unfolds, and some confusion due to the movie's non-linear narrative structure.
