Second sequel to the U.S remake bypasses theatres
I’m not all surprised – the last one was an absolute stinker; I even walked out of the theatre about half-way through it – that “The Grudge 3” is going direct-to-video. I guess it’ll still make a mint on DVD anyway but more so, the DVD Premiere is such a major event now – take “The Lost Boys 2” for example – that it hardly seems like a demotion.
The second sequel to the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring remake of a superior Asian horror film is shooting in – of course – Bulgaria under the direction of Toby Wilkins says Bloody Disgusting. Matthew Knight, who played Jake in “The Grudge 2” (which one was he? Did he appear before I left the theater?), will be back for this next installment.
In the film, a young Japanese woman holds the secret to ending the curse of the Grudge. She travels to the haunted Chicago apartment building where she encounters a family battling to survive. Together they confront the ghost of Kayako to save their souls from their impending tragic fate.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has better things to do – like, say, feed Freddie – than to cameo in this latest one, so you can forget about any ‘surprise star cameos’ this time ‘round.
