As you first click on The Grudge website, this title screen appears, with the DVD cover on show. The links down the side of the page allow you to "Enter the site" or visit other pages such as the "Trailers and Clips". There is also a link which allows the visitor to read a little about the "Synopsis". All of these links are easily accessible and user friendly.
The colours used are colours typically associated with horror, with a black background and red text colour. The lighting used in the photo suggests a dark side to the film.
As the user clicks on "Enter the Site", the full website launches and an intro to the film beins. The screen is completely black, and images appear with flashes (similar to camera flashes) along with text to introduce the storyline of the film.
Following the intro, the interaction with the viewer continues, as they put in their name and initials.
There is very little information on the screen. The use of a completely black screen with a focal point makes it very clear, and is very effective in conveying the genre and general theme of the film.
Following this, the user is then introduced to a game, and given instructions to complete a game. They are presented with a photo, and have to choose the correct place to go by clicking. This website is very interactive with the user, and allows the user to have a real insight to the film.
