The Grudge

Why was this made? Why did they think it was a good idea to remake this? Why does it take the plot of the original film and throw it out the window? Why does it look like an uninspired, totally predictable, and an overall sorry excuse of a horror film?! It's 2020, people! A new decade is already here... STOP REMAKING STUFF THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REMADE!!

So get this: it's a remake of the film that is a remake of the Japanese Horror film: Ju-On: The Grudge (fantastic movie, BTW) and they took that and made it into one of the most predictable stupid films ever. And it's already 2020, and I thought unnecessary remakes were outlawed (they should be). I don't even see who is the target audience of this film, and I don't see who will watch this film a second time.

Weak Storyline, Bad Cinematography, and Unnecessary Jump Scares makes this film not worth your money. What a complete disaster! TERRIBLE film!!

Good photography and direction but the script makes no sense. From the beginning to the end I asked myself: why this is happening? What's going on here? I was a fan of the original one, the original story and the turn at the end made a great movie. So why this?

Went into this seeing the 4.3 rating and being like aww man it's gonna suck, it's really not that bad, the film does a lot of time jumping around but you can follow it, the story line is mehhh, but theres a lot of scares, cringe moments, anticipation, it's not a 4.3! Watch it alone, late at night with headphones on and you will enjoy!

I see some people here calling this a remake and I'm thinking "Where they even paying attention!?!". This movie is a sequel and takes place during the same timeline of the 2004 version and the years 2005 and 2006. Only this time the curse has been brought to the US by the first nurse that was taking care of the elderly lady from the first movie. Anyways, I have to say the editing is a mess and most of the characters are lifeless, but the actors did their best with what was given. I actually like the cast and I think Lin Shaye and Jacki Weaver are the highlights of the film. Its biggest mistake was not bringing back the iconic ghosts that fans have grown to love. This is their franchise.

Detective Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough) moves to a small town in Pensylvannia with her son Burke (John J. Hansen) to work in the local Police Department. She is assigned to be partner of Detective Goodman (Demián Bichir), who has recently lost his partner Detective Wilson (William Sadler) that was obsessed by a murder case. When Muldoon and Goodman find the remains of a woman in a car in a closed road, Muldoon realizes that her address was the same of the murder case Wilson was investigating. She decides to investigate the house and soon she learns that there is a curse for those who enter in the house.

"The Grudge" (2020) is a horror movie based on the vengeful spirit from the excellent "Ju-on" (2002) and the American version "The Grudge" (2004). The cinematography is uncomfortable and the viewer startles in a couple of scenes and in the end, it is a reasonable entertainment. The conclusion is predictable. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "O Grito" ("The Scream")
