A horror movie is supposed to be scary right? The Grudge is not scary and relies on ineffective jump scares. The story and plot are tragic. It isn't even so bad it is good. It is just bad.

I am confusing....how we can call this movie 'The grudge' or 'horror'. This movie is a total insult for the japanese version.

The Grudge is one of those films that has amazing talent in front of the camera as well behind it but somehow doesn't translate into anything worth your time or money.

My best guess is that the film, as originally shot, had all the makings of a very good (or even great) horror film, but some klutz got hold of it and edited it into a dud. There’s not a weak actor in the cast and the film itself is not dull for that reason alone, but the pace is glacial. The plot is also interesting and not as derivative as you would think since it is based on a Japanese original, which many of us (including me) has seen. My thumbs halfway down are for the editing, pacing, and overall gloom. Note I said gloom. Doom would have been more interesting, but anything other than murkiness was beyond the resulting film here.… Expand

Overflowing with predictability, weak writing, and a virtually-nonexistent plot (if you can even call it that), The Grudge is a cauldron whose baren contents are nothing shy of a hodgepodge of mediocrity and inconsequential plot points. The entire film lacked a central conflict from which the story could branch out and evolve. Rather, the movie frivolously, senselessly, and non-chronologically, skips from timeline to timeline, with each time chunk being permeated with overly-disturbing images to both discomfort the audience and deter from the film's scariest aspect: its inability to call itself a story. It pains me to degrade Screen Gems, the studio behind this movie and many acclaimed films (such as Searching). Unfortunately, the studio entirely missed the mark, which they usually surpass with ease.… Expand

Lazy and unnecessary, The Grudge is yet another horror reboot with a weak story and very little scares. Throw in a bloated ensemble of unlikable characters and an incoherent, nonlinear timeline, and you're left with an unscary, unwatchable mess.

Let me start by saying that I am not usually the one who writes reviews, first and foremost because English is not my native language. And I think everyone should form their own opinion.

With that said let's get this going. The grudge 2020Let me start by saying that I am not usually the one who writes reviews, first and foremost because English is not my native language. And I think everyone should form their own opinion.

With that said let's get this going.

The grudge 2020 is a bad movie and a cheap cash in on the name and legacy of the Grudge franchise.

It is not scary, it is not moody, it is not gory.

But what it is is boring.

So boring infact that one of my mates almost fell asleep in the movie theater.

With a lack of focus, and complete disrespect for the cultural and original source material, it is hard to find anything that can save this movie.

The acting is okey at best, but lack of direction in the script and scene progression makes it hard not to see the characters as bumbling idiots that have no idea or clue on why they are there and what they are supposed to do.

Music is minimal to none existing and the sound department is lacking over all.

One sound that was right though was the iconic grudge girl breath? Asthma? Allergies?
The sound she makes.

Problem is that they over use it, everyone is breathing like that and that is taking the creep factor out of it. So in the end the movie is a messy cheap confused movie that doesn't really know what to do with the rights and legacy it has been given.… Expand

And I say this because it's extremely tiring to see how film studios believe it will be enough to recycle their franchises after a few years completely neglecting the desire and interest to do something new or with more quality for that matter.

They're cheap to make, no doubt about that, but this kind of cheap and hollow attempts will get you cheap and hollow entertainment.

The story itself was very engrossing, if a bit confusing at times due to the shifting timeframes. But, My friend and I enjoyed the characters and the actors who played them. Even an Oscar nominee shows up! Jackie Weaver. The story picks up from 2004 with a woman who stayed in what I guess was the original house where The Grudge got started. I don’t remember much about the first one, so I can’t verify the accuracy of the backstory that propels the movie forward. But, it is certainly very creepy in places and we really enjoyed it.… Expand

Save for a few nice cinematographic shots and a few cleverly hidden ghosts throughout the film (if the viewer was paying attention), this film was NOT The Grudge. A few jumps, but nothing in comparison to any of the other films. Kayako was in the film ONCE - in the first two minutes of the film. Toshio was nowhere to be found. The rest of the film consisted of her rip-offs, in America. it just didn't feel like a film from the franchise, the only part that felt familiar in the slightest was Kayako's croak sound.
You can't stick Kayako's hair on the promotional posters, call it "The Grudge" and pass this off as a film from the franchise.
A harsh rating of '1' for the okay cinematographic shots and Jacki Weaver.… Expand
