Goofs:

Plot holes: The grudge curse was created when Takeo murdered both his wife, Kayako, and son, Toshio. Naoko tries to end the curse by getting Rose to drink Kayako's blood during the ceremony she held in the apartment where the curse was reborn. Drinking Kayako's blood would unlikely stop Toshio's ghost, meaning only Kayako would be stopped. This would mean that the curse would not have been ended by Naoko's ceremony.

Quotes:

kill this movie

don't know what i wanna attack first,, this one was so well off,, from the first two. you didn't have the fear of what lies beyond,, not knowing what is in front of you like the first two. the kills were too stylized, should have never set it in chicago.. the couple always wanted to have sex in the apartment building ruined it for me,, just another campy American horror movie. i dind't really care for the characters that much,, this film just really did not sit well with me at all,, i mean the storyline wasn't bad,, i just think that somewhere along the line things just went horribly wrong,, i think that i really wouldn't recommend this one if you like the first two.
