Continued the dog's tail that no one wants-"The New Grudge (US Version)"
Today we will talk about the movie "The New Grudge (US Version)".
The title of The Grudge (2020), also known as the new US version of The Grudge / The Grudge 4 (US version) / The Grudge (Taiwan).
As we can see from the film title, this film is adapted from the classic Japanese horror film "The Grudge" by the screenwriter and director Nicholas Pecher, and remakes a "New Grudge" that tells an American story.
Nicholas Pecher is young, and his hobbies are concentrated in the horror film range. "Mother's Eyes" (2016), which he served as the editor and director, appeared in the form of a black and white film. The score was not bad. IMDB scored 6.2, which attracted some attention from the audience. Afterwards, one of his works was not as good as one, and his score steadily declined. By the time of this "The New Grudge", it had reached IMDB 4.2, a record low.
Maybe Westerners are more outspoken and like strong visual stimulation, so in "The New Grudge", the grieving mother and son who traveled across the ocean became a new era grieving mother and daughter with American native characteristics.
After blaming the mother and daughter to settle down in a house, they started to harm the world without stopping. Their dress completely abandoned the fiasco appearance in the original version, and adopted the zombie dress very much. It seems that there is no sticky blood plasma and the rancid smell that can be heard across the screen, so they can't indicate that they are ghosts.
Moreover, the mother and daughter not only want to eliminate those who have entered the house, but also expand the scope of their business. They also have to kill some of the characters that have appeared in the film that are not the faces of passersby, and they seem to have a little control over their faces.
Let the flame purify everything. I don't know if the character in the film is a fan of Naglaros, the formal logic is beyond ordinary people's thinking.
These mysterious characters are not looking for assistance when encountering abnormal situations, but they are thinking about it by themselves. The film clearly stated that the FBI will be there in a few days, but they want to go to the sea for a while.
In the old version of "The Grudge", the origin of the grudge is clear. Kayako was suspected of coming out, so unfortunately he was killed by her husband along with his son Junxiong. Kayako's strong resentment when he died became a grudge and started with Junxiong. kill. The basic method of committing crimes is that Junxiong comes out to scare people, and Gaya Coconut takes action.
Here, the main task of the little girl is to stick there like a wood, which does not seem to be scary, while the old mother comes out to harm people dirty, the atmosphere of horror is not good, but the place is quite dirty.
It can be said that "The New Grudge" discarded the advantages of the old version, forcibly adopted a multi-line narrative method, and wanted to express the terrible tragedy over a period of time. But the result was only to let the audience see that the director's narrative skills were really lacking. Rory talked a lot about a few stories, which was actually just to show the old and scary tricks, and had nothing to do with the grievance story.
The mysterious operation of "The New Grudge" makes people wonder, I don't know the significance of this adaptation of the remake.
I remember the last time I watched "Sadako vs. Kayako", I laughed very happily. This time I watched "The Grudge" and I was too sleepy. I don't know if I was too tired during the day or the movie was too hypnotic. Friends with insomnia can try to use this film to hypnotize before going to bed, it may have a miraculous effect.
Whether it is "Sadako vs. Kayako" adapted and filmed by the Japanese or the American version of "The Grudge" and "Midnight Ring" that the Americans are constantly remaking, I really hope that everyone will stop repetitive. The original story has brought horror elements to the extreme and has become a generation classic, and it is a masterpiece of horror movies recognized in the hearts of all fans.
If the latecomers want to make a breakthrough in the category of horror movies, they must not take the old IP of their predecessors to remake it. Competent creators must, like Wen Ziren, either create a "Chain Saw" series without ghosts, or create a ghostly "Call of Souls" movie universe.
Taking the remake of the previous classic remakes and adaptations, there will never be good results. People with insufficient abilities will definitely not shoot well, and Yuzhu is in front, and the audience is endlessly complaining. Those who are able will not choose the remake of Hu Gai. After all, those who can remake the classics into new tricks will choose to use these new tricks to create their own brand.
The dog's tail that no one wants,
Time wasted by it in vain.
