Film Intuition Reviews The Grudge 3

Jen Johans reviews The Grudge 3 for her extensive database/blog of over 1,000 film reviews. She has the following to say about the film:

“we get a strong sense… that at last we have a halfway decent plot.”

“[Wilkins] and his screenwriter Brad Keene must be commended for successfully building a good source of dramatic conflict with the revelation that the ‘curse’ of Kayako could have a solution once and for all.”

“[The Grudge 3] is the first one to fully reboot the franchise for American audiences by still retaining but reshaping the great origin story… Likewise, it makes me think that’s perhaps what should have been done all along to make better quality American versions that stand alone as worthwhile rather than simply ripping off Shimizu’s stylistically inventive original.”

“The deaths move from mysterious to grisly in increasingly horrific fashion until everything comes to a head in a truly pulse-pounding… blood-and-guts spattered ending.”
