The Grudge is a 2020 supernatural horror film written & directed by Nicolas Pesce (The Eyes of My Mother). It is the fourth entry in the American Grudge series (itself based on the Japanese Ju-on franchise), serving as a sidequel set during the events of the first two films. Sam Raimi, who produced the first two films, returns in the same role here.Detective Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough) is contacted by Peter Spencer (John Cho) about an encounter while visiting a house for sale. As Muldoon proceeds with her investigation, she begins to discover a series of gruesome deaths connected to the house…and in doing so draws the attention of the malevolent entity that resides within. With time running out, Muldoon must uncover the mystery if she is to hope of saving herself and her son. Demián Bichir (The Bridge (US), Alien: Covenant, The Nun), Betty Gilpin (GLOW), Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom), William Sadler (Die Hard 2, Demon Knight, The Mist), and Lin Shaye (Alone in the Dark (1982), Insidious, Ouija) also star in supporting roles.The trailer for the film can be found here. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| The Grudge (2020) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Fiona, who quickly left after seeing the ghosts, not realizing that they would be able to follow her. William Matheson notices the ghosts, but sees them as being peaceful, and potentially inspiring given the confirmation of some form of life after death, not realizing their vicious desire to speed up that afterlife. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Grudge (2020) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: While Peter is taking a shower, ghostly fingers can be seen in his hair. Floating hair effect present in the trailer is reminiscent of the opening credits of the American films. It's not the first time when someone is attacked by a ghost emerging from a bathtub filled with dirty water. Peter taking care of injured Melinda is reminiscent of both Kobayashinote (in the very first Japanese film) and Peternote (in the first American remake) taking care of injured Toshio. In all 3 cases they spent a whole day in the haunted house with the respective child's ghost. Parents drowning their child and then as ghosts doing the same to the curse victims, happened both in this film and in the first American remake. One of the posters for this movie is scarily similar to the poster for the first Grudge remake. | |

Actor Allusion: Played with somewhat. In the Japanese dub, Faith is voiced by none other than Takako Fuji herself. Fuji is best known as the original actress that played Kayako Saeki. Whether or not this is intentional is unknown. | |

Soft Reboot: Of the American Grudge series. None of the cast or characters (save for a brief Kayako cameo, albeit played by a different actress) from the original trilogy appear here, but it's set in the same continuity and Sam Raimi (who produced the first two) returns as producer. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Fiona Landers unwittingly brings the curse from the Saeki house in Tokyo to her own home in the USA, kicking off the events of the movie. Basically everyone who steps into the haunted house gets themselves and more often also other people killed by the curse, only making the curse stronger and increasing the number of murderous ghosts. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: Kayako's role is significantly diminished in this installment. She only appears briefly to pass the curse onto Fiona, which kicks the whole plot in motion, but is otherwise uninvolved in the events that follow. Instead, Fiona goes on to become a vengeful spirit herself and perpetuates the curse in America. | |

Murder Into Malevolence: One side of the eponymous grudge curse is this - some of the people killed by it return as ghosts to attack or at least frighten its next victims, the other makes its still living victims descend into murderous rage, which they retain as ghosts. | |
