Kayako is back to haunt Andrea Riseborough in Sony Pictures’ latest The Grudge, which runs parallel to during the events of the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring sequel. Played by Junko Bailey in the return of J-horror, this new poster gets right up in Kayako’s face.
In theaters next year, the Nicolas Pesce-directed film follows a detective (Riseborough) who investigates a serious of suspicious deaths all stemming from one house. Once she enters, the curse latches onto her and won’t let go. There are no cat sounds here and no sign of the little boy ghost (Toshio), but Kayako and her long black hair make quite the entrance.
Sam Raimi‘s latest production also features horror veteran Lin Shaye (Insidious) with Demian Bichir (The Nun). Also starring are John Cho (“The Exorcist”), Betty Gilpin (“Glow”), Jacki Weaver and Frankie Faison.
The R-rated remake will infect theaters on January 3, 2020.
