Review on "The Grudge 3"

During post-production on the film, Takashi Shimizu discussed ideas of creating another sequel, Shimizu quoted:

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
