'THE GRUDGE' starring John Cho - First Trailer
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
I'll watch it. Low expectations, but I like going to big horror movies with friends so it'll at least be a good time hopefully?
They took the spooky out of grudge and dark water and turned the ideas into shitty jump scares and tossed it into this piss yellow fun house of horror

As a huge fan of the series who's read the books, owns all the movies, and has toilet paper with stories by the author printed on it, I have a hard time disagreeing with that.
Doesn't look too bad, actually. Some creepy shots in the trailer.
I love Ju-On, so I'll watch it without expecting much.

Doubt I'll see this but I see that it has Demian Bichir and Jacki Weaver in it also so the cast they've put together is certainly quite good.
The director is actually solid as he did Eyes of My Mother and of course the producer is Sam Raimi which is also good. The imagery looks promising so I'll be happy to give it a try. In horror, you have to basically look at the director and producer and if those things are good then more than likely the movie will turn out good even if the writer is just okay. If you got a trash director though, it's not going to work out lol. Actors barely matter, but they can't be completely awful. They have to just be average enough to get carried by the script. Cast here is actually pretty good too though.
Great cast, can't say I love that yellow filter on everything. The Grudge 2004's look was so much better. This one looks a little nastier and grungier.
So is everyone going to die again? It seems like no one ever wins in these movies. Sadako vs Kayako was pointless because it was all that talking and ritual for nothing. It almost looks like John Cho's character dies halfway through and Andrea Riseborough's character takes over.

Oh gee i wonder if someone is gonna get puked on and then get some in their mouth and then scream and get more puke in their mouth...
Looks yellow.
As in, "Why the fuck is there a yellow tint to nearly every scene in that trailer?"
This thing was filmed in June of 2018, always had rough test screening reception and now it's dropping in January. Expect very little.
Also, Eyes of my Mother was all presentation and no substance so maybe this will get the look and sound down but without the feel.

A remake of a remake?
I saw The Grudge when I was young, and it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen.
Didn't see Ju-On until way later though, and by then I'd built up an immunity to scary movies. Kind of ruined it for me.
That damn sound the thing makes will always be the best type of sound attributed to a scary movie though. None of the recent scary movies that have attempted something similar will ever come close.
Edit: lol, they even copied the shower scene. This looks significantly worse than the first remake. I also wasn't aware that Ju-On was already a remake.
