This current film, from director Nicholas Pesce, runs concurrently with the first American remake in 2004, occurring in Pennsylvania while Kayako also strikes in Japan. However, despite technological advancements and a swell in the horror genre in Hollywood over the last couple of years, 2020's The Grudge fails to capture the magic of the original remake and is much worse for a couple of reasons.



The Grudge (later marketed for home release as The Grudge: The Untold Chapter)[8] is a 2020 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Nicolas Pesce, and produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Taka Ichise. At first announced as a reboot of the 2004 American remake and the original 2002 Japanese horror film Ju-On: The Grudge, the film ended up being a sidequel that takes place before and during the events of the 2004 film and its two direct sequels,[9] and is the fourth installment in the American The Grudge film series. The film stars Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, and Jacki Weaver, and follows a police officer who investigates several murders that are seemingly connected to a single house.

A sequel was announced in 2011, with a release date of 2013 or 2014. In March 2014, it was officially announced that a reboot was in the works, with Jeff Buhler set to write the script. In July 2017, filmmaker Nicolas Pesce was hired for rewrites, based on Buhler's script, and to direct the film. Principal photography on the film began on May 7, 2018, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and finished on June 23, 2018.

The Grudge was released in the United States on January 3, 2020, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film has grossed over $49 million worldwide and received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its plot, characters and over-reliance on jump scares, but praise for the performances and atmosphere.[10]
