What an absolute pile. I’m not really sure what I was expecting from this. Just, oh, another horror movie. Oh, another Grudge movie. There’s only two scenes that I can think of on why this was slapped with an R-rating. The jump scares were so predictable — you know when they cut the suspenseful music and it’s nothing but silence — you know it’s coming. That’s the sad part of the R-rating — my toddler would have really loved those parts. The jumping back-and-forth from story to story story was pretty annoying. She’s a cop, she goes into the bad house. Then the other families that were also linked up to that house are wandering around through the whole movie making Grudge noises.

There were a few good parts — I liked when John Cho’s character goes after his wife. I liked when Andrea Riseborough’s character plays back the tape and sees someone coming out of the bathroom. Lin Shaye’s kitchen scene. Those were fun little thrills.

The ending, wow, saw that coming. It was all just a mess. Kind of like my sloppy writing right now. If you liked it.. let me know!
