While the new Grudge seems to be a complete retelling of the original story, director Nicolas Pesce teased that it will tell a parallel story to the 2004 version.
is sparked when a man murders his wife Kayako and their son in a jealous rage. Kayako returns as an
onryō, a vengeful ghost common in Japanese folklore, and spreads her death curse to all those who encounter her. franchise. While it’s unclear if she will appear in the same way she did in the original films, the upcoming reboot teases someone who looks a lot like her, including shots of her famous tangled locks. In one scene, Detective Muldoon , who is tasked with investigating mysterious deaths in her city, sees a woman with that same long black hair crawling underneath her son’s bed.
That makes sense, considering the way the death curse in the film works. As people die from supernatural encounters with the onryō, their spirits become capable of creating the curse as well. Thus, if someone touch by the grudge in Japan flies to America, and dies there, the chain of horror may continue across the ocean. That could be how we get parallel stories, set in the exact same time period, with the same ghostly Kayako at the center.
