‘The Grudge’ Featurette Promises A “Much More Intense Experience” Than The Previous Films
What can we expect from the newThe Grudge? According to producerSam Raimi, a “much more intense experience” than anyGrudgefilm before. This newThe Grudgefeaturette has a glimpse at some creepy scenes from the new movie, as well as the cast talking up how damn scary it all is. While it’s in their best interest to talk this project up, you have to admit that the footage on display here does indeed look creeptastic.
The Grudge Featurette
Is there any buzz for the newGrudge? I can’t tell, but I remain cautiously optimistic. While there wasn’t exactly a hugeneedfor aGrudgereboot, the talent involved with this project is too good to ignore. The cast includesAndrea Riseborough,John Cho,Betty Gilpin, and more, and – most promising of all – comes from directorNicolas Pesce, the filmmaker responsible for the nightmarishThe Eyes of My Mother.
Pesce only pops-up briefly in this featurette, while producer Sam Raimi (who also produced the previousGrudgereboot) gets to do most of the talking. Raimi promises a movie that both ties into the originalGrudgewhile also opening the story up for all-new thrills and chills. It definitely looks as if we’re in for something new here and not a retread of the same old thing. That’s good! And after the box office stumbles ofMen In Black: Internationaland the recentCharlie’s Angels, Sony is in need of a hit. And horror continues to draw a crowd.
InThe Grudge, “a single mother and young detective, Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough), discovers that a suburban house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death. Now, she runs to save herself and her son from demonic spirits from the cursed house in her neighborhood.”
