3.0 out of 5 stars Great but ambiguous, February 6, 2009

By

D. Anderson "Anime Junkie" (Los Angles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Grudge 3 (DVD)

I was also one of the few who saw it already and to be honest, it was a big improvement over The Grudge 2. The acting's pretty decent and the story was a lot more coherent this time around. The deaths weren't all that special but they definitely stepped up in the violence department to say the least. The ghosts were more aggressive and the story gets pretty intense as we get closer to seeing if this is truly the end of Kayako and Toshio's killing spree, but when it's all said and done, I had very mixed feelings about the ending. It's an ending that can truly be interpreted in so many different ways. If this is in fact the final movie of the trilogy, then we're left with a lot to think about. Rather that's a good or a bad thing is up to you.

On the the whole, despite me seeing it early, I'm seriously buying it no matter what. It definitely wasn't a waste of my time, but it doesn't surpass the first one in any way.If you're a die hard fan like me, you'll enjoy what this film has to offer to some extent.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only worth a rental., May 21, 2009

By

Spider Labyrinth (TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Grudge 3 (DVD)

Sad how Matthew Knight got top billing and is hardly in it at all. This film was a big letdown! Took too long to get started and when it did, totally predictable. Characters other than Gil McKinney (really hot guy) and Emi Ikehata (the best actor in the film) were a bore. I wish they would not continue with this franchise, but will.

Do yourself a favor, just watch the Japanese versions of them. America is not good at all with remakes or continuation of films.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised At How Well It Was For The Third Grudge Movie, January 31, 2009

By

Rich "xman" (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Grudge 3 (DVD)

I got this from a friend an can't honestly tell if this was a bootleg or not because it seemed pretty authentic, but even than I first thought this would be just as terrible as the second Grudge and was greatly surprised as how much better this one was than the second. The story beginning shows the young boy who was alive after the ending of the second movie in a asylum secure room as everyone thinks he's unstable and delusional as he continues to spout out about the spirit of Kayako and her plans to kill him. Well as you might expect they don't believe him and lock him in the room where of course Kayako does kill him very painfully, after that they show you the apartment complex from the second movie where Kayako has apparently cursed as well. The movie mainly keeps the focus on four people the first is Max(The elder brother who manages the complex and takes care of his two sisters Lisa and Rose and is also struggling to keep the complex afloat since most of the tenants have left), Lisa(The oldest sister who plans on going away and trying a career she's tried for a long time), Rose(The youngest sister who has a medical problem that also adds to her brothers concern both about her health and trying to keep the medical expenses paid), and finally Naoko(The younger sister of Kayako and feels it's up to her to try and end her sisters curse that's harming everyone). The actors and actresses in the movie were pretty decent and while the effects weren't that many it still did pretty good and left you the feeling of foreboding knowing when a victim of Kayako was about to be offed. While it doesn't quite reach the fear factor of the first movie it still way surpasses that of the second and that was enough for me. So if you've already got the first two movies finish the set with the third even though it didn't come out and theaters it's still a nice horror ghost movie to watch with the lights out...
