Like the horror movie villain who just won’t die, the raddled corpse of the Grudge franchise is set to twitch once more with the news that a third sequel is on the way.
Bloody Disgusting reports that Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures are planning to reboot the franchise with a remake of original film The Grudge . Which of course was itself a remake of Japanese chiller Ju-On. Keeping up? Good.
