Grudge, The

The Grudge (2004)
Dir: Takashi Shimizu

An American nurse working in Tokyo is exposed to a vengeful supernatural curse.
Solid remake of the J-Horror classic 'Ju-On'. Director Takashi Shimizu does a decent job of translating his own material for Western audiences and cleverly keeps certain actors and settings important to the the first film. It has a more linear storyline going for it, but doesn't quite manage to emulate the original.
