Read THR's review of 'The Grudge' here:
A ponderous attempt to breathe new life into a money-minting franchise that has already been milked for three American features — in addition to innumerable films, comics, novels, and games in its native Japan — Nicholas Pesce'sis so distant from its source material that it might cause viewers to ask what was so special about the modern J-Horror phenomenon in the first place.
This Pennsylvania home was first haunted in 2004, when a woman named Fiona Landers returned home early from a job in Tokyo. She was mightily creeped out by her time there, and, as we watch the trash bag that quietly begins to breathe as she stands beside it, so are we. Treasure that scare, viewer, because it's the film's most novel image by far. Fiona comes home to her loving husband and their daughter Melinda .
Don't get comfortable yet. Two other couples are tied to this grudge-bearing house, whose dead inhabitants keep returning to haunt future visitors, and the film spends a long time seeming to believe we'll be equally invested in the whole gang. One couple bought the house after the aforementioned massacre; another were simply part of the real estate transaction.
