The Grudge

synopsis


A remake of the Japanese horror hit JU-ON, THE GRUDGE is helmed by its original director Takeshi Shimizu. Like its predecessor, this Hollywood version of the film takes place in Tokyo, but most of the main characters are American, including Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a young social worker, and her peers. When Karen enters a seemingly abandoned home to look after a mentally disturbed resident, she soon discovers that there's an evil--and very aggressive--presence in the house, and it's lashing out at every person that sets foot inside. Having directed both the original JU-ON and its sequel in Japan, Shimizu was very familiar with his own tale of terror by the time he directed its 2004 incarnation. Using many of the key actors from the previous films, Shimizu recreates the story with the added advantage of a Hollywood budget. As with many Japanese horror films, THE GRUDGE relies on atmosphere over plot, resulting in a series of utterly chilling moments that will leave viewers fascinated and unbelievebly frightened.
