The Grudge

Italian Gothic, Japanese Folk Horror, and the Wronged Woman

A video essay by Kat Ellinger covering the transposition of the Hollywood revenge Gothic to Italy, the trope of the "wronged woman" including incarnations by Barbara Steele and other horror icons, and ties to similar narrative strands in Japanese folklore and cinema from Kwaidan to Ring. Included on Blu-ray as an extra on Lady Morgan’s Vengeance (1965), disc one of Arrow Video’s four-disc box set Gothic Fantastico: Four Italian Tales of Terror.
