Please, her life was at stake, as that of her sister, you would think that she would let it end there. Other than that, you don't feel anything for these characters. I will confess that I did enjoy seeing Shawnee in a new horror role carrying over from the SAW franchise. But i think this was even worse than the others. Not that that idea has changed, though when presented under better lighting, the aura has a much more higher level of creepiness. Sullivan explains about Jake, and learns that Lisa and her 8-year-old sister, Rose, have both seen the same things Jake had making Sullivan realise there may be some truth to what he was saying. Kayako and Toshio's curse continues by haunting ''The Grudge 2'''s only survivor, Jake, who's now confined to a psychiatric hospital after his family's alleged suicide. Awards Adrian Halen There is always something good about a movie, however bad it may be, or so I thought before watching this movie. I had very low expectations for this film. Wrong. And worst of all it ends up leading right towards yet another sequel - thinking of that makes my tommy ache and i don't feel like sleeping .. Those feelings should have been coming from the movie and not from knowing there will be a 4'th Grudge or shall i call it The Smudge. This one lacks at many occasions, firstly it does not have any horror in it.. i mean if you have seen the first two parts, they make u jump up from your chair, you need to take frequent breaks in order to get a relief and it might haunt u in the night if you are not into horror movies and if you believe in supernatural thingie. This film wasn't even slightly scary but something about it was still quite enjoyable. However, it's definitely not the best either. 09/28/2018 You know you're in trouble when the creepy white skin kid now looks like a not so creepy white skinned teen with a bad haircut. Overall the movie was OK, then towards the end the film took a big crap. Thanks. I think mainly due to the re-occurring white faced asian girl that has overstayed her welcome, though I still don’t mind it as long as its done in a scary way. Here comes the next instalment in ''The Grudge'' series. For starters, in the grudge films you don't see the ghosts grabbing people and snapping their necks like when Dr.Sullivan was killed by Kayako and in the beginning with Jake flying around the padded room. I say this from a disappointment standpoint rather than a need to slam the filmmakers. As a Grudge fan I really “want” to be entertained and supportive. What we don't see here, like in the first two films, is when she grabs people. It was a cop out, a clichéd Hollywood ending for a horror movie. This aspect has completely been lost in this last movie. Come on Hollywood! However, it's definitely not the best either. The Grudge 3 is not too bad of a movie and addition to the Grudge series. Granted not as tedious and insipid as the sequel, this 2009 follow-up starring actress Shawnee Smith still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Except for a scene or two ,this movie for me doesn't qualify as of a horror genre to me. We encourage you to read our updated PRIVACY POLICY and COOKIE POLICY. Firstly it's worth noting that I watch a TON of horror films. The ending really sucked in my opinion. Grudge 4 will most likely be announced, if it's not already announced, in the near future. The Grudge 3 was a direct to video had an estimated budget of $5 million and grossed over $38 million from DVD sales. As far as I can tell, this isn't a digital picture, so there isn't any ghosting/interlacing. Okay but passionless tale of attempts to end the curse by a Japanese woman who goes from Japan to Chicago where the curse has situated itself in an apartment building. The original story, even though it's not one of the scariest ever, had that Japanese talent to creep you out without actually showing almost anything in the screen and leaving most to the imagination except some crucial scenes. The Grudge 3 definitely looks lower-budget than the other two, and the footage seems on the soft side, but this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation is clean, with solid colors and a reasonably high amount of detail and clarity. I have followed the Grudge series pretty dedicatedly, although I have to say 3 is pretty much that. I really liked the Japanese films (Ju-on and Ju-on 2), while the American remake was decent enough and it's sequel while I wasn't that taken by it still it had its moments. To be honest, i was expecting perhaps something, probably too much, that would perhaps be original and new to the third grudge. 2: The story is very repetitive. The worst in the series and progressively worst from 1-3. What irked me the most was how towards the end Lisa one minute believes everything Naoko says, then at a crucial point decides she don't. I had read some of the reviews on here (good and bad) and wasn't holding out much hope. So if you want to see what happens after the point that the Grudge2 ended then this will give you that closure.The first movie was new, I'm now finding this storyline as old and tiresome. The Grudge 3 is not too bad of a movie and addition to the Grudge series. The same goes for the blue kid “, Toshio”….ok he is really blue in Grudge 3. Then at the end showing that a new curse was created was interesting, I just hope that there won't be another American grudge film. 4 out of 10. That's what happened to me, but being prepared for a bad movie I was able to enjoy it for what it was. I was wrong. Even though it is not scary, it could be OK if the story was interesting. As the rage spreads, it becomes clear that Jake's horrifying stories are true, and the Japanese woman is the only hope of finally burying the Grudge once and for all unless she becomes another victim. Nothing noteworthy about it with the exception of Shawnee Smith - who seem to become a regular in horror movies and Marini Sirtis from Star Trek. For instance, the CGI face that appears in the painting. In the meantime, the Japanese Naoko (Emi Ikehata) decides to travel from Tokyo to Chicago to stop the curse of her sister Kayako. When Jake's mysteriously killed in his cell, Sullivan investigates further by going to his old apartment, and it's here she meets Lisa, sister to Max, the building's super. I mean, after the abysmal 2006 sequel, it couldn't get any worse, right? W*nkers. Now they need to stop it once and for all before the curse reaches more people and becomes horrific. REVIEW: From the very opening credits, the Grudge franchise has almost taken on a TV series persona. In Chicago, the boy Jake (Matthew Knight) is interned in a mental institution and his therapist Dr. Sullivan (Shawnee Smith) does not believe that he is haunted by the ghost of the boy Toshio. I thought that this round most of what we see is just a re-cap of what we’ve seen before. The end result is an inherit more detailed look which takes away form her previous eerie ghostly presence. The Grudge 3 (2009) is a 1h 30-min rated R American/Japanese supernatural mystery-thriller horror film that is the third installment in The Grudge series and was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Chicago, Illinois, USA. Flashbacks are presented from the first 2 films, if you are a newcomer jumping right in almost in the same way as you’d see at the start of a CW series. Shimizu has now taken a producer's role as up-and … The ending wasn't really surprising. Take my advice Hollywood, leave the grudge films in Japan, as cheap as they may seem, they are 1000X better than what your doing to them, but if you insist on making more, have Takashi Shimizu direct them instead of just writing a little for it. Film Reviews. I always preferred the original Japanese titles to the second rate American remakes, but as there was no Jap Grudge 3 it became a no brainer (in every sense of the phrase). Goes Full Drool On Amazon, Death of Me arrives on Blu-ray and DVD 11/17. The series has lost its way and become a waste of time. This third installment of the popular Grudge horror movie series also stars Marina Sirtis, Beau Mirchoff and Johanna E. Braddy. It’s just giving more folks a reason to slam films than they deserve. Nearly the entire movie takes place in the same apartment building with the same stupid people who don't believe anything. 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 that is true, then evidence of that is present in this new Grudge release. Though as we’ll find out, her appearance is pretty short-lived. 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 the past. A very quick down and dirty CGI compositing trick that any desktop dabbler can do now nowadays Things like that cheapen the journey. 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.
