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.

I can’t give this film high marks, which is a shame since it has such an excellent cast.

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

Can't give it a negative review as it was made with care and real effort. But the story has significant plot holes and inconsistencies that you don't want to think about too hard.

But the story has significant plot holes and inconsistencies that you don't want to think about too hard. Beyond the jump scares it's not terribly scary as much as it is depressing. The timeline jumps don't do anything for the suspense. I'd hoped it would have been better as I enjoyed the grudge with Sarah Michele Gellar.… Expand

While it is predictable and it relies on jump scares a bit too much, "The Grudge" is a fairly entertaining horror movie supported by decent acting performances, good cinematography and a surprising ending.

An exciting film with the well-known scary moments. The story unfortunately has no depth at all. Nice to stream or to watch TV later on.

The Grudge is well shot and has a good cast but overall it's a snooze fest that really adds nothing to the franchise. I think we could have done without this entry.
