The Grudge (2004)

The English counterpart, The Grudge, takes us to America--no, wait. This remake takes place in Japan as well, in a similar house, and helmed by the same director, with the same murderous trio of obake! The only difference is that now there are a bunch of American expats around who are even less able to cope with it all. There's Sarah Michelle Gellar's pensive and perplexed expressions (which she refined during the Buffy years), Bill Pullman's brief but effective cameo, and plenty of floating black Medusa hair. There are also spooky eyes...thanks to Grace Zabriskie's Thousand Yard Stare™️!
