The Grudge was another one of those Hollywood works of marketing, as opposed to real film-making art. It was an entertainment product aimed at young girls. Not too scary, not too disturbing, not too bloody, not too original either, because that would only serve to alienate the dumb and young. What Hollywood's critics don't understand is that stupid people need to watch movies too. They are an active majority in every country and have rights, have needs. They need to be catered to, way more than smarter people. TV isn't enough, Jessica Simpson isn't enough. They need big-budget movies with special effects. They need the Olsen Twins and Orlando Bloom. It is the job of everybody who is not a fool to part them from their money, and Hollywood is playing it's part, are you playing yours?
