The fact that this is how my 2020 film-watching career starts seems like a **REAL** bad omen for this year. Update: Oh boy. _Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs._

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.

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 to making the kind of idiosyncratic films he's clearly capable of. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-grudge-the-movie-reboot-curse-claims-another-victim
