I think creator Takashi Shimizu has distanced himself from it all. He's like John Carpenter in that he takes his paycheque, and leaves the producers to do what they want. |
Think The Grudge 3 would have been better if Takashi Shimzu took the directors chair and carried this on instead of just being a writer, this just seemed to lack the dark tone that was the first two built up. Infection 2004, Ghost Game 2006, The Guard Post 2008 have been the freakiest movies I have seen from Japan since Ju On: The Grudge and Ringu.
