How come nobody tries to 'beat down' the ghost?


C'mon, if I was backed in the corner by the ghost, i'd at least try to whip it's ass. Fight back do something. Instead the people crawl away whimpering. Just pick up a brick and smash that trash.

I mean yes lol.....all the victims do is stare at those ghosts in awe will they are killed. In reality One would beat the crap out of those poor ghosts.

ALRIGHT. You would bet down PERSON in self defense if they were to attack you.

BUT. Imagine if you saw a ghost appear in front of you. And you know it is going to kill you. But you don't know how. The characters are frozen with fear because they have never seen anything like this and they don't know what it is going to do to them.

Its a GHOST for Christ sakes. It probably won't die even if you pick up a brick and smash it. Remember its not human. So it does not have the same strengths and weaknesses that we have.

You make no sense. How would I know it's going to kill me? If you don't know what it's going to do, how do you know you'll die? It's a ghost and?? Doesn't mean I can't grab it little bugger by their legs and slam it into a wall or toss it out a window. It doesn't have the strengths and weaknesses but i'd at least try instead of sitting there cowering till I die. That's as silly as the Jason movies when the chick falls and starts to crawl. Get the hell up and run why are you crawling still!! These people should have tried to fight back. If they fail, then that's a different story but these people didn't even bother to try. Not trying = deserve to die.

"You make no sense. How would I know it's going to kill me?"

Well the b*tch is *beep* crawling towards you in weird way with a scary look on her face making a creepy noise. What else would she do other than try kill you? Give you a *beep* lapdance?

"It's a ghost and?? Doesn't mean I can't grab it little bugger by their legs and slam it into a wall or toss it out a window."

You musta realized by now that Kayako will *beep* you up. Look at Yoko; she got her jaw ripped off. Look at Aubrey; she got her neck snapped. Look at Jake; he got *beep* up all over the *beep* room.
The best thing to do is just run instead of being a cocky tough guy like you think you are. Thats risking your life.

"Get the hell up and run why are you crawling still!!"

Takashi Shimizu wants the characters to be so scared that they feel powerless to the ghosts. Yes Kayako is not so scary now because we are more accustomed to her image but these characters have never seen anything like this. I mean its not often you see a ghost, let alone a ghost thats is as vivid and physical as these ones.

I dislike it when people underestimate characters in horror films. Yes they have done dumb stuff but think of the possible reasons; they are injured, the have to think on there feet, they don't know they're in a horror film, they are injured, they aren't all strong or fast runners.

The Grudge = Run or Die
Because self defense obviously doesn't help.

Well yeah... but thats not the point of this argument

to be honast I agree with the OP... I would atleast try to fight back hell if shes gonna take me out ima pop her in the face a couple of times so she remembers killin me lmao

reply

Don't know if any of you have seen either the made for tv Japanese Grudge movies. There's one scene where she materializes from a fallen wig while some girl watches in "horror" for what takes at least 5 minutes for her to fully form from the wig. I can understand the frozen in fear concept, but at some point you're gonna come to your sense and GTFO of there or fight back or something.

However like someone else pointed out, that despite the form of being a 100 pound woman or a 60 pound boy, their strength is well beyond anything human and would mess up anyone trying to fight them hand to hand.

reply

Frankly speaking, I would've tried to run, but fight if I'm cornered. Even if I knew they super strength, just sitting there frozen in fear as they kill me is not a good way to go.

Because then it would be something from Scary Movie lol

reply

What if you were backed into a corner and you started coming at her acting like her making the same noise? She would prob have a wtf moment.

reply

You cannot hurt that which is already dead.

reply

you make a good point but remember the ghosts/spirits look very odd so the victims were usually creeped out to even react properly. lol

reply

i would fck it
