Writer-director Nicolas Pesce's (THE EYES OF MY MOTHER, PIERCING) reimagining of THE GRUDGE (pre-order HERE) with Lin Shaye hit Digital today and to mark the occasion, today we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip to share with you guys. Check it out up top!
This new version earned an R rating from the MPAA for "disturbing violence and bloody images, terror and some language" and takes place in America and – get this – happens at the same time as the 2004 Sarah Michelle Gellar flick. It follows:
A detective who investigates a murder scene that has a connection to a case that her new partner handled in the past. The killings occurred in a haunted house that passes on a ghostly curse to those who dare enter it. Soon, the curse spreads to a terminally ill woman and her husband, and another unsuspecting couple who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
THE GRUDGE was written and directed by Nicolas Pesce from a story by Pesce and Jeff Buhler based on JU-ON: THE GRUDGE by Takashi Shimizu. Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Taka Ichise produced. It stars Andrea Riseborough (BIRDMAN), Demián Bichir (THE NUN), John Cho (SEARCHING), Betty Gilpin (GLOW), with Lin Shaye (INSIDIOUS) and Jacki Weaver (BIRD BOX). Executive Producers were Nathan Kahane, Erin Westerman Brady Fujikawa, Andrew Pfeffer, Roy Lee, Doug Davison, John Powers Middleton, and Schuyler Weiss. Kelli Konop and Romel Adam were co-producers.
THE GRUDGE is now available on Digital and arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 24, 2020. Pre-order HERE
