| Further Details Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment has released early details on The Grudge: The Extended Edition which stars Sarah Michelle Gellar. The new disc will be available to own from the 3rd May this year, and should set you back around $28.95 in total. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track. English and Spanish subtitles will also be provided. The only other thing we know, is the runtime, which is listed as being 98 minutes. That would make it around seven minutes longer than the theatrical cut. I'm afraid we have no other details at the moment, but we'll bring you the full spec rundown shortly. For now though, here's the official region one package artwork: |

| 1. After Bill Pullman's Death we Focus on his dead face and the eyeball on the pavement has slightly popped out looking like a white gum drop. 2. The Old senile lady when she meets Yoko (caretaker) is messing with tape and her fingers are covered in blood. 3. Later SarahMichelle shows up and sees the bandaged fingers as well. Its a new plot point I believe showing that she was the one who locked Toshio in the closet. 4. During the Open House the sister hears things and finds a cat figurine in Toshio's closet as well as remnants of his drawings. 5. During the American couples first night in the house the wife hears the clatter of what she believes to be the mother but is really Toshio. 6. They show a bit of Jason Behr w**king and studying before a recently discharge SMG shows up at his w**k. 7. Ted Raimi meeting Yoko jawless in the hallway is extended and she even stretches back quite a bit to show down her throat quite a lot. 8. The Bill Pullman scene where he shows up at the house and finds Ayako's body is longer. She falls out of the closet and we stay on her for quite a while. She seems to follow him throughout the room. Her neck is making crunching noises. 9. The thumping that you hear from the hanging body in the next room reveals that Toshio is pushing his fathers feet into the wall and that's why we have the sound! I thought this visual was pretty eerie. 10. Here is what makes the uncut uncut. The father killing his family scene. He grabs Ayako and semi strips her and grabs her by the throat and in his rage twists her head to an almost 360 and it splinters and cracks as she spits blood. The 'aaaaaaaacckkkk' sound is from her dying as her throat is distended. Toshio views the ENTIRE thing! This reveals why he is always bug eyed when on the stairwell looking down because this is where he was sitting. 11. As SMG is saving her comatose hubby we see more of the family death. It looks as if he cuts the cats throat in the tub and then he slams its carcass against the tub walls. We then actually see Toshio being drowned. He even has a moment where he looks at his father before he dunks him in. Then there are jump cuts of where the father placed their corpses. These spots end up being where they congregate. Toshio is dead in his closet along with his mother in the attic. 12. I believe in the US version SMG yells at Jason Behr 'not to look at her'...in this version the dialogue wasnt there. When Ayako is giving him the staredown of death. 13. In the aftermath of the fire we see a POV from SMG point of view in the ambulance as well as firefighters performing their jobs on the house. Thats it...after that everything is as it was in the cut version. The funny thing here is that Shimizu said this one would be more open ended with less resolution but it was just the opposite. If anything this version explains a lot MORE than you would expect. |
