[edit] Production
During post-production of The Grudge 2, Takashi Shimizu discussed ideas of creating another sequel. Shimizu said the following:

During the script meeting, our ideas didn't go anywhere good, and we couldn't come up with anything interesting to stop the curse, so if that's the case, I would rather just go for something that could never be stopped. But who knows, maybe something can be stopped in The Grudge 3.

During Comic Con 06, Sony officially announced plans of creating the sequel.[1] Takashi Shimizu stated he was offered to direct the sequel but would rather produce the film instead.[2] Moviehole reported that the film was putting out a casting call for new actors to play Kayako and Toshio, since Takako Fuji (Kayako) and Yuya Ozeki (Toshio) have passed on the opportunity. [3] Bloody-Disgusting reports that Shawnee Smith, who appeared as Amanda in the Saw films, has finished filming her scenes for this movie.

On January 1, 2008, the cover was revealed and it was announced that it would be released on DVD March 24th, 2009. It will only contain featurettes as special features.

[edit] Plot
From Ghost House Pictures, the Producers of 30 Days of Night and The Grudge, comes the next installment in The Grudge series. 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. When the curse of the grudge finally kills him too, news reaches Kayako's sister, Naoko, in Japan. As Jake's case worker, Dr. Sullivan (Shawnee Smith, the Saw series), investigates his Chicago home, the curse continues to claim more victims. As the rage spreads, it becomes clear that Jake's horrifying stories are true, and Naoko is the only hope of finally burying the grudge once and for all.

Scary movies are a bunch of junk that never interested me. I have
watched quite a few scary movies, and they are unentertaining.

Also, please get rid of the "!!???????!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!!!!!!" in the thread title.

So would I lol...horror movies have just become so freaking rediculous now that thier is nothing to gain by going to see them except losing even more of those nice brain cells. Don't think I'll waste an hour and a half of my life on that.
