It's a brand new year, which means January gets to be the traditional "trash month" once again. In Portugal, it's actually one of the best months of the year since all of the Oscar-contender films are released (late) during these first few weeks. However, it still contains the formulaic action and/or horror movies. The Grudge, a reboot of a remake…

The fact that this is how my 2020 film-watching career starts seems like a **REAL** bad omen for this year.
Update: Oh boy.
_Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs._

Despite a fine cast, this latest entry (and quasi reboot) is pretty dull. I did like some of Pesce's direction and shots, but far too many of the cliched zingers from these supernatural-horror films. Probably won't remember very much about this in a few days (if not less)... **1.75/5**

Although handsomely shot, with several good actors doing their best and a small handful of unsettling visuals, 'The Grudge' is ultimately a dull, disjointed mess that is riddled with cheap “boo!“ moments. I hope Pesce rebounds quickly from this failed effort in franchise-building and gets back to making the kind of idiosyncratic films he's clearly capable of.

**Deserves massive re-evaluation**
Yet again, it feels like nobody even gave this film a chance. The original films were the same repeated slop of someone entering a place, a bunch of visions and then death. So, I find it strange how nobody has an issue with the lack of story in those films.
Nicolas Pesce actually attempts to tell something brand new while retraining the classic Grudge formula. Each storyline isn't meant to connect like a …
