    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although the film takes place in Chicago and (briefly) Tokyo, it was filmed in Bulgaria, for economic reasons. The location of filming caused issues with the predominantly English speaking cast and crew, who couldn't speak Bulgarian, resulting in the need for several translators on set.
    • Goofs
      (at around 57 mins) Naoko is incorrectly referred to as Naoko Saeki on her phone message. Although she is Kayako's sister, Kayako's married name is Saeki so Naoko's last name should be Kayako's maiden name of Kawamata.
    • Quotes

      Rose: [about oxygen tank] Can I breathe underwater with that?

      Max: You need a scuba tank for that.

      Rose: I could go in a shark cage.

      Max: You could, but I'd be careful. Sharks have a taste for little girls.

    Horrible.
    First of all, I have been a huge fan of Japanese horror movies ever since I saw the original Japanese version of The Ring nearly 8-9 years ago. I have seen a lot of different horror movies but I have to say, my favourites are The Ring and the Ju-On franchise.

    After seeing that there was a The Grudge 3, I had some hopes for it. But boy, if only I knew what was coming...Where to start? The acting was utterly horrible and the plot was forgettable. As for the scary parts, we all know whats coming, you see the boy in white, you hear that classic sound of ju-on and you see her approaching her victim, over and over and over again. There is nothing new to this movie and its about time to let the franchise take a rest.
