\n\"\"\u201cThe Grudge\u201d franchise is back, and ready to terrorize John Cho and Andrea Riseborough with a vengeance. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for the 2020 reimagining of the legendary J-horror franchise, which is directed by \u201cThe Eyes of My Mother\u201d breakout Nicolas Pesce and produced by \u201cEvil Dead\u201d horror icon Sam Raimi. The supporting cast includes Demi\u00e1n Bichir, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, and Jacki Weaver.
\nPesce\u2019s \u201cThe Grudge\u201d is not a reboot or a remake but a continuation of the English-lanague horror series that started with the 2004 movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The team behind the 2020 horror film are calling this new \u201cThe Grudge\u201d a continuation of the series rather than a direct sequel. Sony\u2019s synopsis reads: \u201cA single mother and young detective, Muldoon (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.\u201d
\nWhen asked at New York Comic Con how his \u201cGrudge\u201d would be different from all the previous movies in the franchise, Pesce promised Sony\u2019s openness to an R rating would result in the most disturbing \u201cGrudge\u201d yet. \u201cThe movie\u2019s way more fucked up,\u201d the director said. \u201cNot that the wave of J-Horror in the early 2000s wasn\u2019t fucked up \u2014 but this is really fucked up.\u201d
\n\u201cAs far as the imagery, it was finding that balance between [old visuals and new visuals],\u201d Pesce added. \u201cWe\u2019re finding the key elements that are just how the grudge expresses itself. So much of this movie is about the fact that this can happen anywhere and that it happens everywhere. It can spread like wildfire. Having certain touchstones was important. Obviously with a franchise we don\u2019t want to throw everything out. There is certain stuff that is fun for the fans to see again in a new context with a new spin.\u201d
\nSony Pictures will release \u201cThe Grudge\u201d in theaters nationwide January 3. Watch the trailer in the video below.\n<\/div>\n
