We close out our month-long theme of movies we hated so much we had to dedicate an entire series to them… with a surprising twist.

This week on Film Jury, new juror Shannon Scott steps in and selects The Grudge (2004), a film infamous for its eerie atmosphere, fragmented storytelling, and that unforgettable croaking curse. But what was meant to be another unanimous takedown didn't quite go as planned.

While Shannon holds firm with a guilty verdict, both Kat and James break ranks and deliver a shocking not guilty, defending the film's mood, structure, and lasting impact on early 2000s horror.

Is The Grudge a confusing mess or an underrated horror experiment that still gets under your skin?

Tune in as we debate:

• Whether the nonlinear narrative works or falls apart
• The effectiveness of its atmosphere versus its storytelling
• If this remake holds up or belongs in the "so bad it's bad" category

Three jurors. One divisive horror film. A split verdict you won't see coming.
