Welcome back to At the movies in Kingston. A new decade of cinema about to begin! Here is whats new at the Kingston theatres for the week starting Friday, Jan. 3, 2019.

The Grudge is another remakeof the hit Japanese film Ju-On: The Grudge.You might remember the hit Sarah Michelle Gellar film of the same name a fewyears ago. It seems like The Grudge istrying to capture some box office magic with people who are looking for afright before school starts again. The film focuses on how if someone dies inthe fit of rage, their soul is attached to the place where they were killed. Needlessto say, the main characters all somehow get affected by said spirit. The Grudge is part scary movie/hauntedhouse, with no doubt lots of jump scares for the audience.
