10 Upcoming Movie Reboots That Might Actually Work
5. Grudge
The American remake of the Japanese horror film came out in 2004, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The third, and final film in the American series came out in 2009.
The reboot will be the first in the American franchise not to have the involvement of Takashi Shimizu, the original creator of the series. So, fans might feel some concern about how the new film will reimagine the chilling horror.
Why It Might Work:
The Grudge refers to a cursed or vengeful ghost created when someone dies while experiencing extreme anger and sorrow. The reboot will take this concept and focus it on a detective trying to solve a case that drags her and her young son into a dangerous haunting by a violent ghost.
Said to have a similar vibe to Seven, this mystery focused horror story might just be the reboot the series needs.
