The Grudge


This American version of a Japanese horror film takes a look at the Japenese belief that if someone dies in a rage, their spirit hangs around to infect anyone it meets. Our heroine is a young student who goes to look after an old woman in a spooky house. There, she is soon seeing spectres and ghouls, and her investigations lead her to a mysterious young boy, tied up in a closet...
