Mai, the older sister of elementary schoolteacher Yui Shono, goes to look for her sister, who disappeared after a year while working in an elementary school. Mai soon discovers the Teriyaki household who tells her about what happened to her sister. Mai will now uncover the dark secrets of Ju-on and will try to end the curse once and for all. I'm sure that Japan can make better movies if they actually try a little bit unfortunately this Franchise is probably getting worse and worse with each installment and somehow they seem of never stopping either somehow.

(WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD) First of all i would like to say to the creators and the producers of this film "Well Done!!". It may be repetitive for some fans but for other fans it might be awesome. I would have liked it even more if the trailer of this film didn't show the last seconds of the ending when Mai sees her sister Yui but then she realizes its Kayako and if they didn't show the ending on the trailer then the film on this page would have gotten higher ratings. But again, I would like to say that the film is great and in my opinion was successful enough to get more viewers like it adds more atmosphere like its really bright when everything is good and when its really blue meaning that something bad is happeningWhat I Struggled With While I Was Seeing The Film - Some scenes were really dark for me to see so i couldn't see clearly what was going on.What Went Well - I really liked how the sound effects suited well with all the minor jump scares also when the suspense builds up before a minor jump scare occurs. And also i loved the atmosphere. So that is what i think of the movie and well that's it.

I watched this movie last night and I have finally seen the entire Ju-on franchise. It is without a doubt the scariest horror franchise there is. There are 11 movies in total, 8 Japanese ones and 3 American ones. A 12th movie in 4D, which is a cross-over with the famous Ringu franchise, is set to be released in July in Japan.As far as the Ju-on storyline goes, this is the first sequel to the Ju-on reboot from 2014 and it is a quite a good effort, if you look past the repetitive nature of the movies. What is clear about this movie from the first few minutes of the movie, is that this movie has a lot of jump scares as opposed to its Japanese predecessors. It has almost completely abandoned its reliance on atmosphere, but it's still there to be found. However, it doesn't exploit these moments like Western cinema does, which is a good thing.Due to the fact that there have been so many Ju-on movies, I didn't think this movie was as scary or frightening as the other movies were. There is something called over-exposure which leads to desensitization. The scares were pretty good in this but none of them got to me, unfortunately.Definitely avoid the trailer if possible, as a part of it shows you the last seconds of the movie. Had this not happened, the ending would've been more terrifying.Hopefully Kayako Vs Sadako will be filled with plenty of atmosphere like the previous Ju-on movies were instead of having to rely on jump scares.

There's only so many times a franchise can spam little boy in underwear or creepy crawling girl and still be effectively horrifying. For Ju-on that expiration date has passed a couple of movies ago. Final Curse offers so little novelty, and logic for that matter, it becomes a predictable movie that's more annoying with blaring jump scares than actually delivering terror.It introduces many perspectives, more than half a dozen in total. What starts with Mai trying to find her sister who was lost from previous movie, escalates into lingering haunting for her and anyone even remotely close to the tragedy. This includes unsuspecting neighbor and school friend of the strange boy's cousin. It's really reaching for victims at this point, but having large cast doesn't mean more dread.Main issue is these people don't act naturally. They would stare or freeze at the most unfortunate moment instead of running, the ghost spends most of the movie crawling for god's sake. More often than not they would literally walk into the haunting without any plan and scream in surprise when meeting expected fate.Not that the horror is done decently, the use of this pale boy has become silly. Audience should know the pattern already, yet the movie keeps churning the same things, even resorting to increase the volume and literally screaming in one's face. A couple of the scenes might work, like the little girl in hospital, but eventually it returns to old gimmick again.It's an exhausting viewing, what little suspense it has it buried within clumsy effect and outdated forced jump scare.
