The Grudge
Curse follows you
The Grudge is a 2004 American horror film, a remake of the Japanese film Ju-On, about a curse that afflicts anyone who enters a house where someone died in extreme rage or sorrow.
The title refers to the vengeful spirit's eternal resentment.
The franchise spawned sequels and has become shorthand for an inescapable, relentless haunting: That ghost followed them like something out of The Grudge.
