Reviews

Despite a strong cast led by Andrea Riseborough, 'The Grudge' fails to live up to its potential, earning low ratings across multiple platforms. IMDb rates it at 4.4 out of 10, indicating a general lack of viewer satisfaction. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a paltry 20% rating based on reviews, depicting a critical consensus that the film falls short in delivering genuine scares or a compelling plot. Metacritic's score of 41 out of 100 further solidifies the film's mediocre reception, with many reviewers criticizing its reliance on jump scares and predictable horror clichés. While some may appreciate its atmospheric tension and visual style, 'The Grudge' ultimately disappoints as a horror movie franchise reboot.
