1905 Film Network News Recently, the first stills of "The New Grudge" directed by Nicholas Pecher has been exposed. In the stills, the horror film veteran Lynn Shayelin Shaye faces the terrifying and heinous ghosts alone, with a sense of tension hanging by a thread. The bloody ghosts and avengers also feel like an American horror movie. The
film seems to have broken away from the Japanese-style horror film atmosphere of the original "The Grudge" and turned into a typical American horror film. It is worth mentioning that Lin Shaye, the star of the film, has starred in hundreds of horror films and worked closely with Wen Ziren. The story of "The New Grudge" is simple and straightforward. A house is cursed by a ghost, and the ghost brutally kills those who enter the house. A game of cat and mouse for survival and hunting begins.
’s original version of "The Grudge" is a Japanese movie shot by Takashi Shimizu in 2002. "Grudge" refers to the curse of the person who died with grievance. The resentment accumulates in the deceased’s residence. Anyone who touches it will die. And a new "grudge" is created, which will continue to spread the terrible death, and the "grudge" will always guard the haunted house and curse every visitor. Although the story uses the old Yinzhai horror film model, Shimizu Takashi still shows a strong personal style in it. Subsequently, the film was remade by Hollywood, and a trilogy was released in 2004, 2006 and 2009. Among them, the director of "The Grudge in the US" in 2004 was Takashi Shimizu himself.
However, the reputation of the series continued to decline in the United States. In 2009, "The Grudge 3" directed by Toby Wilkinson became a mediocre film. I don’t know if Nicolas Pecher’s "The New Grudge" can help the subject return to the mainstream film market after 10 years. After all, in Hollywood, the "Call of Souls" universe and "Recall" have opened a new era of horror films. According to the plan, the film will be released on January 3, 2020.
