Remake
In 2004, Sony Pictures Entertainment released an American remake of the film. The film was directed by Takashi Shimizu and starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jason Behr. The main plot of the film followed Rika's experience within the house but with a different ending. The American sequel Grudge 2, however, mirrors a similar ending where Aubrey meets the same fate as Rika.
