Michelle Gellar worried about Takashi Shimizu evil dilemma origin!

The writer and director of Ju-On: The Grudge, Takashi Shimizu, created the original story as the third installment in the larger Japanese franchise, Ju-On, which Shimizu started in 1998. The original The Grudge was released in 2002, and after the success of The Ring in the US, Shimizu was asked to remake his own film for American audiences. More often than not, Americanized versions of foreign films fall flat, but under Shimizu’s directorial hand, the 2004 American remake of The Grudge, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, KaDee Strickland, and Clea DuVall, was successful.

That aching existential and practical dilemma acquires a different meaning, and arguably becomes more relevant, as the generation that endured the war, the camps and the aftermath passes away. Unfortunately, “The Song of Names” obscures and distances the powerful contemporary ramifications. Opting for restrained storytelling instead of piercing inquiry, and artful mise-en-scène over raw emotion, the film looks great and sounds great, but misses the emotional bulls-eye. The Grudge and The Ring are responsible for the uptick in Japanese-style horror made for American audiences, and still holds up as terrifying films. Like many other foreign horror franchises, The Grudge maintains its success and effectiveness through its ability to tell a good story.   apa1906.net/ratedr-watch-the-grudge-2020-online-full-or-free/
