The Grudge continues! On May 12, 2009 The Grudge 3 was released as a direct to DVD movie. This is the most recent release of the Grudge series. Takashi Shimizu is the producer instead of directing as he did in the original Grudge and The Grudge 2. Toby Wilkins did the directing job this time. Ju-On, written by Shimizu, is the original Japanese film that The Grudge is based on. He and screenwriter Brad Keene both worked on the writing of this film. Brad Keene is known for writing "Gravedancers" and "From Within".

The Grudge 3 is on! Picking up several months after all the craziness in Grudge 2. Allison, the schoolgirl who ran away from the persecution in Tokyo, couldn't shake the curse. The curse and misery followed her into Chicago, where Grudge 3 is still set. Jake Kimball, who somehow managed to survive as a character in Grudge 2, is tucked away in a mental hospital. His Doctor, played by Shawnee Smith, goes by the name of Ann Sullivan.

Jake tries to confide in Dr. Sullivan about his family, but his story is too fantastic and horrible for her to accept as truth. She changes her mind after Kayako, from the other two Grudge films, invisibly goes after him.

Back in Japan Kayako's sister, Naoko hears via newspapers about the events that have gone on in America. Naoko knows how to finally put an end to the curse that has been ending peoples lives, so she decides to go to America to try to put a stop to it.

She journeys to the Chicago apartment from the Grudge 2. There she meets the landlord and his children. The youngest child Rose she realizes can communicate with the dead. Meanwhile the curse is tormenting the landlord and his family who have become close to Naoko, especially the older daughter Lisa.

Naoko figures out how to end the curse. Little Rose must drink blood from Kayako during an exorcism. The exorcism goes on but Naoko is killed. Rose and Lisa's father, who has become steadily more insane, murders her as the exorcism is happening. Although they managed to end the curse, another one is born out of the violent end to Naoko.

If you liked The Grudge movies, you have got to see this. So many questions from the earlier flicks are answered. The ending makes you think there are possibly more to come.
