there's enough to like in "The Grudge (2020)" to make it better than the two previous sequels. That being said, it does nothing to elevate this dead IP out of the quagmire it presently resides
the real asset here --as well as the movie's main likely problem for many viewers-- is its bleak tone
Review rate : B-by Clark Collis[Entertainment Weekly ]
the new entry has all the hallmarks of the first round of remakes, but the pitiful retread only succeeds at proving that the potential for this franchise died long ago
pointless horror reboot has lots of blood, jump-scares; A curiously talented and interesting cast was somehow lured into -- and subsequently wasted in -- this pointless, tired, reboot/revival of the long-running Ju-On Japanese-based horror series
"The Grudge" 2020's worst offense is that it utterly fails to find its own voice, its own take on the material. It fails to build any semblance of momentum. As a result, each of its purported “scares” falls flat on its ass
