'THE GRUDGE' starring John Cho - First Trailer
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
Not exactly. It apparently takes place at the same time as the remake.
It's a remake of the American remake of the Japanese remake of the Japanese original.
Yeah like I said. A remake of the remake (the latter being American) Although technically I think Ju-On the Grudge was already kind of a remake of an older low budget version and/or short story.
Looks like shit.
J-Horror has been dead for years now. You can't keep churning out Rings, Grudges and Dark Waters' forever.

How? The 2004 Remake very like Japan Version (same directer and cast)
The Curse start from Saeki Family incident in Japan.
It has to be better than the original remake, which I fucking hated, so it's got that going for it. I haven't even seen the Japanese original so it's got nothing to do with that, the original remake was just nonsensical horse shit and a waste of however much I paid for the ticket. Maybe watching it again this many years later would change my opinion, but fuck that movie.
The American Grudge was 15 years ago lol, I'm sure people have had time to breathe. Besides, in 15 years you get literally an entire new generation of audience that likely never saw the first one
if you hate remake you probably hate the Original.
Same Plot and Story telling(nonlinear narative) Even the director and saeki family cast are from original.
The Grudge was such a Japanese thing (that iconic Yurei look is pretty Japanese in itself). I think that's why the first remake worked, it still had that Japanese aspect, even though it was American experiencing the hauntings.
I remember reading at Bloody Disgusting that there's also some sorta infection when you get "Grudged"(I think they literally use that word) and the infected (it's not a disease, dammit) slowly turn into a rage zombie.
Meh, nothing I hear and see of this movie is doing it for me. Add on top the HORRIBLE piss yellow filter. This seems like another of those stragglers from the 00s that haven't got the memo that we aren't in the 00s anymore.

This is becoming kingdom hearts complicated stuff.
Trailer looked great.
lol I think half of Era would agree and half doesn't going by the Martin Scorsese threads.
I'll watch it because I love Ju-On and the original remake but damn that looks like an ugly mediocre movie. Maybe it's just the trailer, Sony doesn't exactly cut the best trailers.
The jaundiced colour timing looks hideous. Also laughed out loud at the edit at 1:03.
The director is super talented but this looks like another "indie filmmaker gets trampled by studio production" story in the making. Would explain why it was filmed 18 months ago and had re-shoots a whole year later.
Looks like a cool 18% RT with a $100 million worldwide box office.
Obviously the idea is to sell it to an entire generation of kids who weren't even alive when the American Grudge remake came out.
