THE GRUDGE 2020 Film Review - Lightning Fast Film Review - In 5 Minutes or Less
The Grudge (2020), the newest entry into the long running franchise last seen in 2009, attempts to bring the horror into a whole new decade for a brand new audience. Does it live up to the legacy of the original Ju On films? Is it a worth Grudge reboot?
Leveraging the immense popularity of the original Grudge & Ju On films, this new imagining from director Nicolas Pesce 7 produced by Sam Raimi fails to find a unique or interesting voice in a world populated by increasingly incredible entries into the horror genre (Hereditary, Midsommar, Get Out etc...).
John Cho & Elise Rainier feel completely under utilised in a horror film that lacks any real scares or impact, is this even the Grudge anymore or is it simply riding the popularity of an old franchise to find a new audience?
