10 Obscure Video Game Movie Tie-Ins You Had No Idea Existed

10. Ju-On: The Grudge

The Grudge was one of the movie's responsible for the J-horror craze, that reached its peak with the Sarah Michelle Gellar remake in 2004. The first couple of entries were genuinely tense and creepy, but after milking something close to ten movies out of the thin idea of random people walking around a haunted house and meeting a ghost with a sore throat, it got old real quick.

Still, given the episodic nature of the franchise, there was the seed of a game idea in there, and if the developers could manage to import the tense atmosphere of the movies over it could have been great. Sadly they lost that battle and created what’s essentially a torch simulator for the Wii, where the player wonders aimlessly around inspired environments like an empty warehouse and an empty apartment building.

The flashlight you have drains batteries at a maddeningly fast pace, and while the game has a mildly creepy atmosphere and a few decent jump scares, overall it's really shoddy stuff.
