    Storyline

    Edit
    • 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

      Max: I have been saddled with Rose since Mom and Dad died. Not you, me. She is not your problem!

      Lisa: What is wrong with you?

      Max: Not a goddamn thing, that's what. I'm young, healthy. I got all the time in the world since I was just fired. Yeah, what, are you surprised? Surprised that I couldn't manage a full-time job while raising a chronically sick 8-year-old?

      Lisa: You should have said something.

      Max: Gee, I wish I had. Oh, wait, I did, but you were too busy fucking Andy all over the goddamn building to listen to me.

      Lisa: Max, please, can we just all go? I mean, if we don't have to be here.

      Max: We're not going anywhere, sis. But you, maybe it's time you go.

    Same Old Stuff
    To be honest, i was expecting perhaps something, probably too much, that would perhaps be original and new to the third grudge. But i think this was even worse than the others. Nearly the entire movie takes place in the same apartment building with the same stupid people who don't believe anything. This is simply the same story told yet again. The ending wasn't really surprising. It ends so that yet another Grudge can come out in the future. Grudge 4 will most likely be announced, if it's not already announced, in the near future. Rated R because more blood, but not really gore so much. i would say this is a decent movie other than the fact that it is the same old stuff. Come on Hollywood! Give us some originality! 4 out of 10
