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.
