The Grudge

Despite flawless direction and a perfect score, the film suffers from a confusing story that leads nowhere. The script tries to be yet another reboot — this time finally grounded in the U.S. (until now, the franchise had struggled to break away from its Japanese roots) — but it misses the opportunity to improve and streamline a plot whose final twist is poorly executed.

It has some scares but the film relies on them too much and it's just boring, dull and bleak.

Miserable, boring, and never even remotely scary. This movie is so bad, it makes The Grudge 3 seem pretty good by comparison. All around an abysmal film.

I love both the original Japanese film & the 2004 American reboot, but this technically continuation of the 2004 film is not good, & I hate to say that because it has so many great pieces! An outstanding cast, two great producers, a visionary director & some genuinely solid effects, but it's all wasted on a cheap script & bad scares.

Boring, pointless, overuse of horror. Was glad when it was over

I watched this because of Sam Raimi involvement as producer. But where's his signature style?

"Can't recommend it" is an understatement. It was nothing like the original movie, was trying to be ominous and only had a few jump-scares. Not worth the time.

The star and half is solely for having a great cast (notably Lin Shaye and Betty Gilpin). The story was ineffective and the constant jump scare attempts of bloody, gorey messed up faces that pop up in a shot, then disappear in the next shot, were more annoying than scary. I found myself zoning out and had a hard time keeping my attention on the film.

whoever voted so low u deserve to have the same ending as miss matheson. it was very good and 20% is WAY too low. anyways this is a great horror movie and the jump scares are VERY present. the overall storyline was good tho not very original but how it was put together worked pretty effing well

This movie is horrible lol and I’m usually more patient. Very low budget feel.
