Don’t waste your time not scary at all and very predictable
Disappointed
This is not even The Grudge. Save your money.
Worst movie
Story is all over the place
Waste of time and money..I’ve never seen something so stupid.

Very Slow...wait for the DVD!
this version should never have been made. extremely boring and not scary at all.
Horrible horrible waste of time and money
...
Surprisingly good
The plot was boring and confusing. When it finally came to a close it just didn’t leave me feeling satisfied. Yes, I jumped a couple times but that’s the extent of entertainment value I got from the movie. I had high hopes since I loved the previous Grudge movies but left the theater feeling dissatisfied.
Better than the original but still very boring.
Need to learn to wait for Dvd release for this remakes of good scary Asian movies. no justice was done.
Worst movie I’ve ever seen... even thankskilling was a masterpiece compared to that and I hated HASHTAG HATED!! that movie
movie sucks, boring and it's not even scary.
I love it
I was very unpleased after the preview was worth more than the movie!!!
that cliffhanger was so crucial lol don’t go watch unless ur bored and have nothing else to do
Skip it. It’s just not good.
Should rename The Snooze, or better yet “A Meth Heads Delusion”
You guys remember that scene from the older grudge movie when it was making its way downstairs bending its body in unnatural ways? Yeah, don’t expect to see anything like that in this movie. One scene got me, after that it was pretty boring. Flashes of scary images here and there.
Movie was alright. It was good in the sense that it kept true to the original creepy factor. enjoy the connection to the originals, but the movie was a slow burn and at some points felt drawn out. glad I saw it
The plot could have been better. The ending as well.
So pissed I wasted my time!
I fell asleep, that's how bad it was.
it was supposed to be a sequel but it was a poor remake with reused events and character with no reason to be there. Nothing made sense, the characters were just remakes, the ending was even the same as the first movie. it was so weird, the old cars the old TV's ? why ?
Don’t waste your time
Not worth seeing in theaters. Just rent it at REDBOX. I love scary movies and have seen all the other grudge movies. This one wasn't that good as expected.
Just terrible
Not worth the ticket price.
Do not watch this terrible movie.
i only gave it a 2 because it was done well
Worst movie
Wasn't great at all. Wait for it to come out on redbox it's only
Stupid
I still remember it. That’s how scary it is.
RUINED THE ORIGINAL
Left movie early. Worst movie by far. Bad way to start the year.
The jump scares were alright, some are pretty predictable. It could have gone better if there was an actual storyline though, it seemed like they just took chunks from the original movie, pieced some things together and left you hanging with redundant flashbacks. I’d rather watch this at home and not in theaters.
Love the concept of remaking a good Japanese horror movie but this whole movie was completely horrible was not scary was to fast of a movie jumping everywhere on the timeline and didn’t really explain the whole concept of the grudge (the girl) and the ending completely sucked everyone in the audience stood in the chairs wondering if that was it cause it was horrible hated it.
Almost fell asleep and debated walking out.
I BEG OF YOU DONT WATCH, movies complete bogus and I seriously held my head throughout the whole movie asking myself "What am I watching here?!"
Same plot at the 2004 version. Too much going on, story was hard to follow. Ending was predictable and a huge let down for such a big build up.
Bad ending!!!
Honestly I loved the past grudges but this one felt like they mashed up all the good scares from past movies and used them in this one, also it wasn’t scary and I’m so confused about the plot! Sadly walked out before it was finished T-T!
Hot garbage
this movie was not worth the time wasted. far too much flashbacks and no scares what so ever. and there are far too many things that dont equal the dates used.
Metacritic
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.
