The Grudge (2004)
Directed by Takashi Shimizu
4.0/5INSTINCT "MINDY"91 minQuick Hit
The Grudge rips like a supernatural dread machine—creepy, dread-filled, with zero interest in comforting you.
Full Take
The Grudge leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Takashi Shimizu keeps the tone creepy without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
