I really liked the first movie. It genuinely scared me. The second one was just plain bad, while the third was a slight improvement. But honestly, I don’t think there was any need to make them at all. The first Grudge was enough, and the sequels didn’t really add anything new to the story.

Generic and uninspired, The Grudge 3 is a vapid and pointless horror film. The story follows the evil spirit of Kayako as it attempts to renew the curse in a Chicago apartment complex after having been brought there by a former curse victim. It’s a completely ridiculous plot that doesn’t make much sense. The acting is particularly bad, but not as awful as the makeup and special effects; which are the worst of the entire series. The Grudge 3 is an insultingly atrocious film that’s all tropes and no substance.
