A curse born in Japan is simultaneously unleashed in the U.S. Those who encounter it are consumed by its fury and met with a violent fate. Producer Sam Raimi brings us the untold chapter of this horror classic starring Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin with Horror Movie Legend Lin Shaye (INSIDIOUS, OUIJA), and Jacki Weaver in the darkest, creepiest, most shocking film in the series.

It's a mess. It's all over the place, there's like four different stories all flickering in and out every three minutes. I heard the ghost can now move, and was expecting some globetrotting to solve the mystery. Instead you get random shorts- here's proof: A man walks into a store, says "hi" to the clerk, and then in the cereal aisle, the ghost snatches him into the shelf. No explanation given, man wasn't in any other scenes. Was this a deleted scene, or completely made up by me? Exactly.

Not a reboot as it relies on the 2004 film as a base for it's story. They used amber tone for the night lighting and I felt myself spending more time thinking about how I've never seen that color on real life at night, realizing I was completely taken out of the story. The whole film feels like it could have been reduced to about 45 minutes.

Eh. The movie itself is told in a very disjointed manner, jumping around instead of having a linear timeline. This makes it confusing and convolulted, not as well-told as the original Grudge movies. The fact that Kayako isn't even in the film makes it feel like it's not part of the original story... like a whole other movie with very little connection to the original. Not that great. I still prefer the original. And no -- this is NOT a remake.
