Grudge own it on digital now and on
blu-ray March 24th this franchise is
certainly getting more intense with age
welcome to watchmojo.com
this list we're looking at some of the
scariest most gruesome most gory and
most challenging scenes from the 2020
film The Grudge which was the first
movie in the franchise to be given an
r-rating please note that while we're
going to try to keep unnecessary
spoilers to a minimum we will be
discussing plot points from the film
throughout this video number 10
pyromania what do we do when we're
scared close our eyes and light
everything on fire apparently when
detective Muldoon returns to the Landers
house it's with gasoline and a lighter
but then her son Burke who she left
outside in the car suddenly appears
inside his failure to reply to their
usual callin response makes her
suspicious what do we do when were
scared
close our eyes so she just goes for it
betting that her son is really a ghost
given that she can't really trust what
she sees or hears anymore
that's quite a gamble turns out she was
right but man setting what looks like
your own son on fire
that's gotta leave some drama
number nine the car corpse relatively
early on in the film the newly arrived
detective Muldoon receives a jarring
welcome to the force she and her partner
detective Goodman are called out to a
rather nasty car crash in the woods the
scene of the accident is anything but
fresh this body has clearly been here
for a while
rather than a fleeting glimpse of the
corpse however director Nicolas patch
really invites us to appreciate the fine
work of a special-effects crew by
lingering on the decaying cadaver the
gaping mouth
the shattered arms and twisted legs the
dry aged skin and delicate layer of
white mould this is one seriously
macabre work of art sure it looks like
something was in there with her number
eight a few digits short of a hand when
her partner gets a vase of about the
history of the house at forty four
Rayburn Drive detective Muldoon goes to
investigate for herself
LA Police Department no one answers the
door but when a voice can be heard
audibly crying inside she enters to
assist inside she finds a messy home in
disrepair and an aging woman who is
clearly in need of help I'm going to
talk to you about a woman we found the
sounds that she makes will immediately
make your stomach churn but it's nothing
compared to the shocking visual that's
to come after asking Muldoon to feed her
the woman grabs her revealing that her
left hand is made up of a series of
bloody stumps where her finger should be
and that blood is nasty number seven a
serious nosebleed when you start messing
with the well-being of child characters
in your film you're on the fast track to
earning yourself an r-rating but hey
this wouldn't be a grudge movie without
a spooky undead kid you scared me
historically it's Toshio a ghostly pale
little boy who's consistently held the
title of youngest actor to give us the
creeps in The Grudge franchise but with
this 2020 installment young up-and-comer
Zoe fish raises the bar as Melinda
Landers Oh God
sweetheart let's get you in today come
on it starts off with a fairly
aggressive nosebleed but in one of the
most shocking moments in the film the
silent little girl suddenly starts
hemorrhaging dark torrents of thick
blood creepy little kids are a horror
cinema staple but Melinda breaks the
mold your daughter is here she had a
little bit of a bloody nose but she's
doing okay now number six bloody hands
and knocking at the window the garage is
a franchise that has never shied away
from jump scares but even in a series
with many memorable ones this recent
addition is a standout in haunted house
movies there is a clear dichotomy
between indoors and outdoors as well as
light and darkness inside the spooky
house is where bad things happen outside
in broad daylight not so much and that's
what makes this such a standout moment
as the two police detectives get into
their car the more rattled of the two
receives the fright of his life as a
spectral figure appears outside his
partner's window
the jump-scare was effective enough as
is but the blood ensures that it really
stays with you number five what you
can't see can hurt you
when a character in a horror film starts
talking about ripping their eyes out and
said character is in an insane asylum
viewers should prepare themselves for
the worst
once you step into the place where they
judge never let you go this is never
gonna end but in this case the patient's
hands are safely fastened to the table
and so when the interview comes to a
close the audience breathes a collective
sigh of relief terrorized the filmmaker
was just toying with us
what a relief wrong cuts of the same man
being wheeled down the hallway in a
gurney hands once again secured as he
bleeds profusely from the two hollow
sockets where his eyeballs used to be
The Grudge has never been a particularly
gory franchise so this scene certainly
earned it some new fans
[Music]
number four a plunge that makes an
impact looking to capitalize on teenage
audiences many popular horror films rain
in the blood to achieve a pg-13 rating
as such we as viewers regardless of age
are conditioned to expect the camera to
cut away at a certain point and when it
doesn't it makes for quite an impact in
this particularly provocative seen a
woman throws herself down the central
shaft of a stairwell filmmaker Nicolas
pash stays with her the whole way down
even offering us multiple viewing angles
for maximum effect on the way down her
head connects with a railing with a
sickening thud before her body
essentially erupts upon reaching the
ground floor the visuals are messed up
but it's the sound effects that will
really stay with you
number three the double kill sometimes
you don't need to show the offending
deed for it to contribute to the
r-rating often with truly heinous acts
the before and after are more than
enough oh Jesus Christ
you scared me
in fact by omitting the actual event you
force the viewer to fill in the blanks
for themselves which is sometimes even
more effective than spelling out what
happened in the murder of a pregnant
woman by her husband no less it's just
about one of the quickest paths to an
r-rating you could take considering the
couple spends so much time of the film
fixated on the pregnancy the moment is
all the more horrifying number two
improper use of firearms filmmaker
nicholas pêche certainly has a knack for
ramping up tension releasing it and then
hitting you over the head just when you
think it's safe moreover it's in these
moments that he often goes the extra
mile to really embrace the possibilities
opened up by an r-rating a man standing
in the pouring rain staring into a
family's living room is usually a
precursor to something going bad and
fast he's here again yeah just when you
think the situation's been resolved the
man's been taken away he pulls out a gun
in the car crazy
Pesche could have said it all with the
flash of gunfire seen from outside the
car but he instead shows us the head
wound in all its gory glory before we

number one a slip of the knife remember
the Afra mentioned woman with the bloody
stumps four fingers well when you're
working with an r-rating you get to do
more than show them you can show how
they got like that the scene initially
plays like a moment of domestic bliss
perhaps even a medical miracle the
deathly ill woman detached from reality
is suddenly up and about preparing food
in the kitchen on a sunny afternoon this
is Madison I'm so happy to see you on
your feet except those aren't carrots
she's chopping up and there's a dead man
on the ground just out of sight yikes
and that deer horror fans is how you not
only earn yourself an r-rating but
really make the most of it
