The Grudge was one of a handful of Japanese and Thai horror films Hollywood sunk its remake claws into in the 00s alongside The Ring, Dark Water and Pulse.
Hollywood tackled The Grudge once before with a Sam Raimi-produced version directed by Takashi Shimazu, the filmmaker behind the Japanese inspiration, Ju-On (2002).
One new horror film that has received a surprise perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes is Annabelle: Creation, a prequel to The Conjuring series.
A reboot of The Grudge is in the works under the guidance of director Nicolas Pesce.
