Queen of Pop The Grudge to make her long awaited comeback
Quote:
The original English language version of The Grudge was made all the way back in 2004 so, naturally, most of the world has forgotten it ever existed. It was itself a remake of the Japanese film Ju-On, produced by the same director, Takashi Shimizu. The Grudge was the slightly more cohesive of the two, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as an American nurse in Tokyo who goes to take care of a woman in a house permeated by rage and hate. It helped to establish the low-budget/high-yield horror film as a viable box office venture, not to mention that it made me afraid to open the attic door.
The reboot is being produced by Ghost House Pictures, the same company behind the original film, and Good Universe. There’s no word on a director as of yet, and it’s probably too much to hope that Shimizu will return for another version of his film. However, Midnight Meat Train writer Jeff Buhler has been tapped to pen the reboot, which probably means even more gory violence than before.
