Nicolas Pesce's iteration of The Grudge is a dark and moody slow-burn thriller that's occasionally disturbing, but mostly just a retread of what came before it. Actress Andrea Riseborough gives a compelling performance as the film's lead, but most of the film feels like something better is trying to get out, but that never quite happens.

Pesce’s script undercuts whatever intrigue exists in the narrative constructs cribbed from Takashi Shimizu’s films. Read more

Although it tries to revive the brand by including new ingredients and extra gore, The Grudge reboot is mostly a grosser rehash of what's come before. Read more

Jump scares are telegraphed, CGI and practical effects are unimpressive, editing is uninspired and, worst of all, the sound design lacks any of that goosebump-inducing inspiration Shimizu used to such great effect. Read more

Nicolas Pesce’s reboot of The Grudge tries but fails to breathe new life into a crowd-pleasing but outworn franchise. The scares are predictable and tedious, the creature design is bland and disappointing, and Pesce and co-writer Jeff Buhler’s overlapping storylines make the film feel jumbled. Read more

The Grudge is yet another example of a Hollywood studio hiring a filmmaker with a unique voice and then stifling them with commercial constraints. Read more

The Grudge adds virtually nothing to the already inferior American adaptations of the J-Horror phenomenon. Read more

It’s certainly not scary or even slightly disturbing. Instead, it’s bland, unimaginative, and painfully boring. Read more

Het acteerwerk van hoofdrolspelers Lin Shaye, John Cho en Andrea Riseborough is niet eens zo slecht te noemen, maar de uitwerking van het verhaal is gewoon slecht. De tijdsprongen die worden gemaakt zaaien enorm veel verwarring en er is een groot gebrek aan spanning.

Op een aantal (onbedoelde) grappige momenten na is het lastig om wat positiefs te benoemen. Zelfs de elementen die nog enigszins interessant zijn worden namelijk beter gedaan in andere Ju-On adaptaties. Read more

The Grudge heeft eigenlijk helemaal niets te bieden. Je kan beter de versie uit 2004 met Sarah Michelle Gellar nog een keer kijken. Read more
