Trivia:

Is the first film in either the Grudge or Ju-On franchises to take place in chronological order. more

Goofs:

Plot holes: It is unknown how Dr. Sullivan got any information about the Saeki family since Jake, her only source of information about the curse, never knew the ghosts by name. Allison never told Jake the names of the ghosts she brought with her from Tokyo in the events of The Grudge 2, and she was Jake's only source of information about the curse in the second film. This means that Jake could never have told Dr. Sullivan about Kayako by name, meaning Dr. Sullivan could not possibly have known the names of the Saeki family members and get information about them. more

Quotes:

[first lines]
Jake: Please, don't leave me in here.
Sullivan: Jake, I promise I won't be long.

Actually not that terrible, 13 June 2009
5/10
Author: Nathaniel Kidd from United Kingdom

I had very low expectations for this film. I had read some of the reviews on here (good and bad) and wasn't holding out much hope. If you've fallen in love with the Ju-On and Grudge films in the way I have in the past month your curiosity will probably get the better of you. That's what happened to me, but being prepared for a bad movie I was able to enjoy it for what it was. Yes it changes the storyline, yes it's cashing in, yes parts of it were illogical, but something about it wasn't that bad. I'm not going to even bother going in to all the ways it's wrong because I'm sure people must have done that many times already on here. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen or even close. For me the Grudge 2 still had the power to scare but here the fear factor was gone completely which was a great shame. Some die hard fans of the series are saying it's just as scary as the first two, some people are even saying it's one of the scariest films they've seen which makes me question their mental age. If they found this film scary I don't know how they even got to it because by all rights the first two would have scared them so much they'd have probably had a heart attack - literally scared to death... This film wasn't even slightly scary but something about it was still quite enjoyable. Maybe it's just because I love the series so much, maybe it was the characters, the pace, I don't know, and sitting through the whole thing was worth it for the last twenty minutes which I found to be actually pretty exciting. It's no surprise to hear rumours that Grudge 4 is in the works , and after that Grudge 5 is a pretty safe bet, they'll be cashing in on this series 'til the cows come home. W*nkers. Thanks
