“Grudge” is a film produced by Screen Gems and directed by Nicolas Pesce. This movie is the latest installment in the Grudge film series, which has seen a total of six films released. In this particular installment, the story revolves around a malevolent entity associated with a cursed house called Ju-On. Anyone who enters this house becomes the target of this vengeful spirit, and over time, the entity’s presence drives them to madness as they begin to perceive the Ju-On spirit everywhere.
The concept of the grudge stems from the belief that when a spirit harbors intense anger or a deep-seated grudge at the time of death, it lingers in the house and subsequently torments anyone who enters. One example from the film involves a detective who initially entered the house and was driven to such madness that he resorted to gouging out his own eyes in a desperate attempt to escape the relentless entity.
As the story progresses, one of the female detectives attempts to break free from the curse by setting the house on fire, which seems to temporarily rid her of the Ju-On’s presence. However, it is revealed that even when the house is completely destroyed, the entity resurfaces in the form of her own son.
Additionally, there is a subplot involving a married couple who choose to remain in the house, feeling a strong connection to the spirit world that resides there. The wife, who is nearing the end of her life, frequently encounters the entity and even gives it the name “Madeline.”
