The Grudge (2004): "Demeownic Ghost Boy"

Part of that early aughts trend of Hollywood remaking Japanese horror, The Grudge (2004) made quite the impact on pop culture. It also decided to handle its American adaptation a little differently. Not only did the movie maintain its original setting and even some of the cast, it also kept on writer/director Takashi Shimizu to realize his same vision for a new audience. So what actually changed? On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re spending a little time abroad as we talk about the original franchise, spooky ghost boys, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the terrifying moments that have haunted us for years.
