It is a pity that The Grudge goes so obnoxiously off the rails just as it’s building to a conclusion.
All of which makes The Grudge 2 an insidious mixed bag of thrills and chills, and I’m just not sure the good elements outweigh the bad ones near enough to make watching it in a theatre worthwhile.
The Grudge works, and I’ve got the sweaty palms to prove it.
