Clip of the Day - Tales of the Grudge
In anticipation of the release of The Grudge 2, Yahoo has put up three short films that deal with the curse outside of the main movies. Your mileage will vary dependent on whether you’re sick of J-Horror and whether you’re willing to believe that the curse could be transmitted from person to person with such ease. I have to admit, they’re far better than the remake itself, but I may be biased since the shorts have 100% less time travel. I especially enjoyed the depiction of horror in daylight, something rarely seen.
On a related note, does anyone else love these little bits of additional content? So many trailers and clips are just rehashes of the best bits of the movie, that it’s nice to see a little extra effort being put into promoting a film.

I like them when they’re done well. Kudos to Raimi for making this happen.

I just like the idea of standalone ads for movies, and would almost prefer to see a bad one over a well-edited “greatest hits” trailer at this point. Hitchcock did it all the time. I wonder why more producers haven’t attempted it.
