In The Grudge, Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is an American student living in Tokyo with her boyfriend Doug (Jason Behr). Asked to fill in for a nurse who fails to show up for work, Karen ends up entering a house that destroys the lives of anyone who enters by causing them to die in a fit of incredible rage.
