Review of The Grudge (2019) by Clintvinder — 03 Jan 2020

Let me start by saying that I am not usually the one who writes reviews, first and foremost because English is not my native language. And I think everyone should form their own opinion.

With that said let's get this going.

The grudge 2020 is a bad movie and a cheap cash in on the name and legacy of the Grudge franchise.

It is not scary, it is not moody, it is not gory.

But what it is is boring.

So boring infact that one of my mates almost fell asleep in the movie theater.

With a lack of focus, and complete disrespect for the cultural and original source material, it is hard to find anything that can save this movie.

The acting is okey at best, but lack of direction in the script and scene progression makes it hard not to see the characters as bumbling idiots that have no idea or clue on why they are there and what they are supposed to do.

Music is minimal to none existing and the sound department is lacking over all.

One sound that was right though was the iconic grudge girl breath? Asthma? Allergies?

The sound she makes.

Problem is that they over use it, everyone is breathing like that and that is taking the creep factor out of it. So in the end the movie is a messy cheap confused movie that doesn't really know what to do with the rights and legacy it has been given.
