All who enter a haunted house in Tokyo come to a bad end. Will the same happen to an American visitor (Sarah Michelle Gellar, above)? This is director Takashi Shimizu's lackluster English-language remake of Ju-On: The Grudge, his 2003 Japanese film. We say, "Why bother?" (PG-13)
Happy Hour
Anthony LaPaglia (TV's Without a Trace) is magnetic as a smart, self-destructive alcoholic, but this romantic drama goes nowhere. (Not rated)
Undertow
This backwoods tale about two boys fleeing a murderous uncle (Josh Lucas) is weighed down by bloody pain and soggy poetic feeling. (R)
