The Grudge is the 2004 American remake of the Japanese film Ju-on: The Grudge. The film is the first installment in the American horror film series The Grudge. The film was released in North America on October 22, 2004 and is directed by Takashi Shimizu (director of the original series) while Stephen Susco scripted the remake. In the same tradition as the original series, the plot of the film is told through a non-linear sequence of events and includes several intersecting subplots.
The film is rated PG-13 by the MPAA and 15 by the BBFC for its content of mature thematic material, disturbing images/terror/violence, and some sensuality. The film has earned a cult status among many users on various Internet forums including Rotten Tomatoes and Internet Movie Database. The film has also spawned several sequels including The Grudge 2 (which was released on October 13, 2006) and The Grudge 3 (which is currently in pre-production for a 2009 release).
