The Grudge (2020)

Welcome to Satanists on Cinema. We are your hosts Satanist Cameron John and Reverend Campbell. Satanists on Cinema is a film review and commentary series that will give you a death curse, after you have started the video feed. It’s not that we want you to die, it’s just that we don’t really want you to live without our grudge. Unless you provide us with an endless supply of scooby snacks. Seriously, we’re out… we can forget this whole death curse thing for a scooby snack, what do say? Welcome to our review of The Grudge.

Log Line: A house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death.
The Grudge describes a curse that is born when someone dies in the grip of extreme rage or sorrow. The curse is an entity created where the person died. Those who encounter this supernatural force die, and the curse is reborn repeatedly, passing from victim to victim in an endless, growing chain of horror.

Buhler stated in April that the film would not involve the 2004 film or any of the Japanese Ju-On films. Instead it would introduce new ghosts, characters, and mythology. Buhler also clarified that although the mythology would be pushed forward, they would try to keep the “concept and spirits” of the films.
In September 2019, The Grudge director Nicolas Pesce expressed interest in a crossover film between The Grudge and the American The Ring film series, which was done for the first time in 2016 with Sadako vs. Kayako
Breaks the first rule of horror: don’t show the bad guy in daylight.
White male ghosts are not as scary as Asian female ghosts
