“The Grudge” (2020)

6.9

A great by the numbers studio horror film! Well crafted tension, terror, and jump scares. A tight story. Only downside being that the story is told in 4 different time periods that the film jumps between, so it can be a little hard to keep track of if you’re not paying attention. The characters were pretty one-dimensional, but it’s a horror movie, so there’s a pretty low bar for that going in. As with most films in the genre, the final 20-25 minutes ties it all together nicely. One of my favorite endings in a while, as well!
