The film revolves around a young Japanese woman, Kayaako's sister, who appears to be carrying supernatural powers through the key to stopping the Caiaku curse. In this part of The Grudge, that girl decided to travel to a haunted apartment building in Chicago, where she is locked in a new experience by stopping the curse of Caiaco once it is too late.
Perhaps the most perplexing cinematic mystery of the new millenium is why and how Ghosthouse Productions managed to run their Grudge franchise into the depths of the direct-to-video abyss so quickly.
The Grudge 3 isn't perfect, and sometimes the film feels like it's trying a little too hard to emulate Shimizu's work. Ultimately though, the 3rd act left me feeling like the series had finally come to a satisfying resolution.
