I haven't seen this yet. But can I say, just please stop remaking good Japanese horror movies? Why do Americans think that they can remake a classic japanese horror movie and actually make it better? NO. This has never happened. Even the movie poster sucks. geez

The movie was quite average, wish there was more of a presence of the actual Grudge ghost, and not just the possession of characters. I do like what they did with the different interlocking storylines. Another thing that didn’t reach my expectations is the prevalence of Japanese folklore and the lack of it. The film only mentioned Japan when referring to one of the past movies. Overall, definitely not the worst movie, but I feel that it had much more potential to up the horror factor but also the Japanese culture factor.

It was disappointing. Guess I was just expecting more than what the movie had. Someone in the theater stood up immediately after it ended and said “what a wasted ” which was exactly how I felt too.

I went to a preview screening for this movie.

For the positives:
- there are some really good scores in this movie
- the title card flashes up in japanese which is a nice tribute
- the practical effects look amazing
- the casting is really good - at times the mother looks like she's on More

Despite a fine cast, this latest entry (and quasi reboot) is pretty dull. I did like some of Pesce's direction and shots, but far too many of the cliched zingers from these supernatural-horror films. Probably won't remember very much about this in a few days (if not less)... **1.75/5**

SWITCH.

5 years ago

Although handsomely shot, with several good actors doing their best and a small handful of unsettling visuals, 'The Grudge' is ultimately a dull, disjointed mess that is riddled with cheap “boo!“ moments. I hope Pesce rebounds quickly from this failed effort in franchise-building and gets back t More

It's a brand new year, which means January gets to be the traditional "trash month" once again. In Portugal, it's actually one of the best months of the year since all of the Oscar-contender films ar More
