This Friday, Sam Raimi’s The Grudge, based on the Japanese film series by Takashi Shimizu and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer), comes out. From Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ Thrills Turn to ‘Grudge’ Chills:
It was produced by Raimi as the first release from Ghost House Pictures, which he formed with long-time partner Rob Tapert to bring horror films to U.S. audiences.
Although best known for directing the two ‘Spider-Man’ movies that combined for nearly $1.6 billion in global ticket sales, Raimi’s early career centered on horror movies with titles like ‘The Evil Dead.’
Sam Raimi’s best known for directing Spider-Man? And his Evil Dead movies are just a footnote? Wow.
