What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dull and derivative, the rebooted Grudge wastes a talented cast and filmmaker on watered-down scares that may leave viewers nursing grievances of their own.

Charles Bramesco Inside Hook ...we're suffering from a dearth of true boogeymen, the figures that loom in our shared pop-cultural nightmares. It's the faces that stay with us. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Pesce has hired some fine actors and squandered them on a plot that isn't ingenious enough to justify the heartlessness that's all part of the package at this end of the horror movie market. Rated: 2/5 Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) The Grudge could have been something much more than just another notch in a never-ending franchise. As it is, the film is exactly as competent as it needs to be. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Its lack of surprising features, the extremely predictable jumpscares, and the complete disregard for the audience, treating the viewers like the dumbest people ever, make The Grudge one of the worst horror films of the last few years. Rated: D Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside Perhaps the greatest horror here is seeing a director’s talent be so misused. Rated: 1/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It ends up being an aggressively middle of the road movie and the kind we’ve come to expect in early January. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Colby King A true misfire in every sense of the word. Disjointed, not scary, unintentionally hilarious at moments, and an overall waste of time. The nail in the coffin for this already mediocre franchise.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/20 Full Review Cynthia J Absolutely hated the movie. Only stayed to watch because I had bought 2 tickets and I. Was so disappointed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/20 Full Review Kevin C it's a NEGITIVE 5 star, waste of money, time, and walked out more bumb then when I walked in. oh but I did enjoy the popcorn so I guess that was 5 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/20 Full Review Rebecca Slow moving, not enough scary scenes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/20 Full Review Read all reviews
