    Studio executives: We're gonna remake The Grudge and by remaking it, we need to stick to its Asian roots. Let's cast John Cho as Peter Spencer.

    ‘Grudge’ rhymes with ‘fudge’, which is appropriate - because this was messy, hard to digest and left me with diarrhoea.

    This film was incredibly choppy and the story was incredibly weak (what story?). It felt like random scenes strung together. Yes, I gave Cats a slightly higher rating. There's a scene between Lin Shaye and Jacki Weaver that is completely awful. Both actors are wonderful.…

    1. It Wasn’t That Bad, You Guys Just Hate Horror Movies 2. If you would’ve taken the overarching story out of the film and kept it as just the smaller vignettes, it would’ve been a little more interesting and fresh, I’m sure.  3. Would die for queenie Lin Shaye 4. Basically…

    I dunno guys... I’m not the hugest fan of the American Grudge franchise outside of the first film, and I had zero expectations for this because of all the extremely negative reviews but if I’m being honest I think this is probably my second favorite (or favorite?!?) of the…

    "The Grudge/Ju-On" has always been a strange franchise, equally filled with terrifying and comical moments and a purposely confusing timeline. The latter aspect is perhaps what makes the franchise less friendly to the general public compared to "The Ring/Ringu", for…

Three films into his career, Pesce is batting below average: Last year, he dropped his inventive sophomore stunner, Piercing, and demonstrated range and precision not as evident in his hollow, unrepentantly nasty debut The Eyes of My Mother. With The Grudge, the worst proclivities of that movie override the sensibilities of Piercing and combine with studio horror’s “just play the hits” ethos, resulting in one of the year’s most unpleasant releases to date.

Sadly, The Grudge is an underwhelming entry in the long dormant franchise. This cursed production — delayed from release last year — hardly feels worth the wait, and is certainly not worth the price of admission.

The movie's attempts to expand The Grudge's mythology generally don't work, and its stabs at being grittier and more realistic than the films before it are undone by its over-reliance on bloodshed and just plain unpleasant details for shock value.
