Producer Sam Raimi delivers the latest incarnation of Takashi Shimizu's horror staple 'The Grudge,' with Andrea Riseborough, John Cho and Lin Shaye.
plays Detective Muldoon, a newly widowed cop investigating the violent history of a house in the small town she’s recently moved to with her young son. As she discovers the house is cursed, Muldoon begins experiencing the effects of that curse herself.
This new “Grudge” copies Shimizu’s non-chronological structure. Muldoon’s investigation leads to stories within stories — all about hauntings and murders — which Pesce weaves together with the help of an impressive cast that includes , Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, Jackie Weaver and Frankie Faison. “The Grudge” is like three interconnected short films, cut together to illustrate how one person’s sins can keep ruining peoples lives years later.and “Piercing” may be disappointed by how he toes the line here. His “Grudge” is truer to the original franchise than it is to his own more disturbing visions.
And, yes, it’s scary. Pesce’s art-film roots are evident in the movie’s slow-burn first hour. But in the final third, “The Grudge” piles on the explicit gore and jump scares — all leading to a final scene and final shot as terrifying as anything in the original series. If the angry, vengeful “Ju-On” ghosts must endure, they might as well be deployed by someone who knows how to make their attacks bruising.
