Center
Primary
The film's central focus on supernatural horror, an inescapable curse, and the psychological terror it inflicts on its victims, lacks any discernible political or ideological message, placing it firmly in the neutral category.
The film features a diverse cast due to its setting in Japan, including both American and Japanese actors, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative is centered on supernatural horror and does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film 'The Grudge' is a supernatural horror movie centered on a vengeful curse. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or plot points present in the narrative. Therefore, the film has no impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2004 film is a remake of the Japanese horror film 'Ju-on: The Grudge.' The core ghostly characters (Kayako, Toshio, Takeo) retain their original genders from the source material. New human characters were introduced, but no established characters underwent a gender change.
