A single mum policewoman is intrigued by the story of the house where she moved into and its connection with an old case of her new detective partner.
'The Grudge' is a horror film that simply continues the legend and curse of the original films rather than trying to make a remake. The idea is not bad, but the implementation leaves much to be desired. Many talented names got put together (Bichir, Riseborough) but not so much for the screenwriters' side, with them throwing in a random heap: cheap jump scares, time jumps without warning or purpose, questionable character choices and dramatic scenes without an anchor, and they just put that on repeat. Made no sense whatsoever
