7. Critical Response
Despite being based off the original Ju-on: The Grudge, viewers have compared
elements of the film to another J-Horror remake called The Ring as both
antagonists (Samara and Kayako) look strikingly similar.
The Grudge received mixed reviews, earning a "Rotten" rating of 40% on
“thumbs down” but Classic FM's film critic Simon Bates deemed it the scariest
film he had ever seen.
