The Grudge




 MOVIE:-



Opening date:-  January 3, 2020



A remake of the American remake of the Japanese horror favorite, Grudge once again focuses on a vengeful ghost with a long memory.


Movie review:-

This year in film starts with a tricky prospect—a brutal arthouse director handling a studio project (good) that’s also the second American remake of a half-scary 2002 Japanese movie (not promising). Can you recommend a horror movie based on its impressive meanness? Meet Nicolas Pesce’s new and improved take on “The Grudge,” which is often as nasty as you want it to be, its cheesy jump-scares and generic packaging be damned.
Based on the original script by Takashi Shimizu (who did the 2004 American remake of his film "Ju-on"), Pesce’s script is still about a Japanese home that is cursed by a murder that happened in extreme rage, and the supernatural entity that travels with anyone who has been in the home (in this version, an American woman brings it stateside before the opening credits). More than worrying about who’s-who in a new saga of cursed people, Pesce orchestrates a dense, foreboding atmosphere, where unlucky souls have to manage their own oppressive sadness, along with the shadowy, space-invading entities that pop up in the dark.


One of the first things you notice about this movie is how bleak it is—characters are introduced with the brutal cards life has dealt them, the kind no one wants to receive. Take Andrea Riseborough’s Detective Muldoon,

Movies story:-


An American caregiver investigates the motives of a vengeful Japanese ghost who wants to kill everything in its path. Karen is assigned a new client, the almost catatonic Emma, living in a haunted home in Japan. The house has a horrid past, once occupied by a couple Kayako and Takeo, and their young son Toshio. When Takeo learns that Kayako is obsessed with another man, an American professor Peter, he kills both his wife and son in a mental rage, before ending his life as well. He then hides the bodies in the house. Peter too dies, jumping off his balcony when he learns of Kayako's murder. A curse is now born on the house and whoever inhabits it.



The next family that moves in are American expats, the Williams. A man and wife, with their ill mother Emma. Soon, they too are harassed by the ghosts of all three. The couple dies, as if abducted by Toshio and Kayako. The next day, the current caregiver Yoko drops by and finds Emma, she is also taken and killed by Kayako. Karen is now assigned to Emma, and Toshio and Kayako appear to her and she passes out. Emma is now dead, and Karen survives and asks the investigators about the house and learns its history. Meanwhile, the ghosts have killed the sister of the Williams guy, Karen's boss, and now, the lead investigator of the case who tries to burn down the house to no success. When Karen returns to the house to look for her boyfriend Doug, she finds him hurt and the ghosts attack them. A fire is about to start but Karen is able to get out. Doug dies, Karen recuperates, but since the house was never burned, she is still haunted by Kayako.
