Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: More than anything, The Grudge suggests that it's time for Shimizu to move on.
Rotten: As it turns out, there is such a thing as a horror film with too much mindless killing.
Rotten: Adds nothing to the haunted-house genre aside from the horror of spilled ramen noodles on tatami mats.
Fresh: It's enough to send you home with jiggly knees and a tummy ache.
Customer Reviews
I Love This Movie!!
The Grudge was awesome, sure it's a remake and usually remakes are really bad. But there is something about this one that i just loved.
UHhh
Well it could have been better it was a great movie, but it would scare the pants off 8 years olds lol anyways I liked this movie my friends and I made fun of it after the millionth time watching it but It was cooL!
One of the few good remakes
Many people have mixed opinions about this movie, but I loved it. It is one of the only good remakes out there these days, and it is truly terrifying. The sequel was horrible compared to this one. I'd recommend it!
