The Grudge (2020: R)

Rated R. Released 2020. Running time: 1 hour, 34 minutes. Director Nicolas Pesce, Starring: Tara Westwood, Junko Bailey, David Lawrence Brown, and more. IMDB page.



Continuing the saga of “The Grudge” story line, another house is cursed with the vengeful ghost of Asian origin that this time plagues anyone entering the house with a violent death. It begins with a young housewife who murders her family in their home that gets investigated by a single mother young detective. She unwraps the disturbing and haunting details of the crimes and paranormal. She has to save her and son from the demons chasing them down. It was macabre, disturbing, and not at all like the other films of the same name. It was poorly done I thought. I’m glad it was a freebie (well less than a dollar with Regal unlimited since I had to reserve a seat online).
