The implication is that the curse is mutating as it adds more ghosts to it's rally - everyone the curse kills, is sort of possessed by this all-consuming rage.
It's not like they're of their own will or anything. Also this is how Onryo actually worked in the old stories. The only difference between Kayako and a traditional Onryo is that in the old Japanese myths the ghost of a woman who was wronged by her husband would attack everyone except for her husband , while Takeo was Kayako's first victim. Netflix Christmas movie season is up. Spoilers ahead. Earlier this year the Chinese-American filmmaker became the first woman of colour to win an Oscar for best director wit.
Playful and i. Welcome to Love Like This? Lashana Lynch Is Right There. This story includes spoilers from No Time to Die. After being delayed for more than a year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, No Time to Die has fina. For whatever reason, Kayako persists even though her quest has been completed.
In the film, she was killed by her husband Takeo Saeki, who then murdered their son Toshio. Takeo thought his wife was having an affair which led to the son killing him after becoming an evil spirit. That should have ended the Saeki family's tragedy, but instead, Kayako kept haunting the Davis sisters and murdering detectives like Nakagawa. This carried on for three movies and many thought some clarity would be gained in this soft reboot. However, this new entry is connected to the movie , running alongside it instead of shedding backstory into the curse.
The curse only gets more complicated because Kayako's in Japan and Pennsylvania, America, killing at the same time. We don't know how these missions of revenge can be happening concurrently and it's vague as to why Fiona Landers Tara Yearwood is tagged to bring the curse back to the US.
The film even tries to recreate a domestic dispute between her and her husband, Sam, which sees Fiona kill him and drown her daughter Melinda under Kayako's influence. Although this plot element was not present in the original Ju-on: The Grudge Takeo's death had already been seen in Ju-on , the previous film, where he's killed in the streets by Kayako it was actually lifted from the original film's sequel, where a similar thing happens to Tomoka and Noritaka, who visited the house, in Ju-On: The Grudge 2 Kayako hangs them both with her hair.
Yoko is killed when Kayako drags her into the attic and rips her jaw off, and then, either her possessed corpse or her Onryo kills Alex. This is a plot element that was not present in the original Ju-on: The Grudge film but was instead lifted from Ju-on: The Curse , the straight to video film that preceded the former film, where Kanna seemingly arrives back home and her mother see's her jawless ghost, who promptly kills her off-screen.
The infamous bedroom scene where Kayako attacks Susan from underneath the gap of her bedsheets was inspired by the old Japanese urban legend of The Girl in the Gaps, a ghost which is said to enter our world only through small gaps in the real world. There is a deleted scene after Toshio attacks Matthew, where Matthew becomes possessed by Takeo's ghost and kicks a visiting Susan out of the house.
Director Takashi Shimizu cut it because it took focus off Kayako, despite being present in the original film. When Susan is in the taxi, if one looks closely at one of the adverts on the back of the front passenger seat, one will notice a staring eye printed on one of them. Later in the apartment, when Susan discovers Kayako under her covers, look closely at the wall. For a split second, you can see Susan's shadow and the shadow of Kayako, even though she isn't above the bedcovers.
Takako Fuji has pyrophobia, a fear of fire, which made filming the ending rather difficult when Karen attempts to burn the house down to finally end the curse. Peter Kirk, who Kayako had an obsessive crush on in this film, is an American incarnation of Shunsuke Kobayashi, a character from Ju-on Kobayashi was a college friend of Kayako and they reunited when it turned out that he was Toshio's school teacher, and she fell in love with him again and began writing about him in her journal.
Takeo found the journal and in a fit of rage, killed Kayako and Toshio, under the deluded belief that Toshio wasn't his son. When Kobayashi investigates their home because of Toshio's repeated absences, he encounters their corpses and Kayako gives him a romantic kiss of death in this film, Peter does the same thing as well but commits suicide at his home instead after escaping the Saeki home.
During these events, Takeo had killed Kobayashi's wife and unborn child, and while carrying the dead fetus in a garbage bag in the city, Kayako emerged from a nearby dumpster and promptly killed him. In an alternative ending, after Karen is recovered from the burning Saeki home, and wheeled into an ambulance, she has another vision of the Saeki family, seeing them entering their home with Toshio's new pet cat.
Toshio then looks back at Karen in the ambulance, before Kayako calls for him. This ending was scrapped because it spoiled Karen's survival of the house fire for the audience, and because the test audiences were confused and thought it was a happy ending.
Karen uses Doug's cigarette lighter to set fire at the Saeki house. When she is with Doug at the Yoyogi cemetery, explaining to him that the rising incense of the Buddhists reaches the departed spirits and relieves the troubled spirits of the living, Doug picks the lighter as she talks, a foreshadowing technique for Karen burning the house.
A common criticism of this film, comparing it to the original, is the inclusion of the jawless Yoko scene as being an example of the filmmakers making the movie gorier than the original version for the sake of gratuity.
This is despite the scene being a recreation of a scene from Ju-on in which the same thing happens to Kanna. A prosthetic replica of Yoko Maki's head was used for the scene where a jawless Yoko attacks and kills Alex.
Deleted scenes expand on her death by showing Takeo recreate his murder but with Rika instead. Rika's American incarnation, Karen, instead manages to survive though she later dies in the sequel.
A remixed version of the original ending is re-introduced for The Grudge 2 involving Aubrey, Karen's sister. Karen is the only main character to survive the events of the film. Peter is also the only character that wasn't killed by the curse, rather he committed suicide.
The three ghosts in the film were long dead by the events of the film. Detective Igarashi's fate is ultimately left unknown in the film, in spite of the fact that he should have died given that he entered the house and interacted with cursed individuals he dies in the Japanese version.
In a deleted scene, Karen goes to meet Nakagawa for the last time and she's taken to another office instead where a detective informs her that Nakagawa and Igarashi were not there at the moment. Then, she asks if they were dead and the detective vaguely confirms it.
