Well, I can't claim to be much fan of the previous "Ju-On" movie, but I was given the chance to sit down and watch "Ju-On: Za Fainaru" (aka "Ju-On: The Final Curse") shortly after watching the predecessor.
But let me say right away that I did so with very little expectations to this 2015 movie, given the fact that the 2014 "Ju-On: Owari No Hajimari" (aka "Ju-on: The Beginning of the End") was a rather terrible movie in terms of storyline and scared.
Turns out that the 2015 movie was exactly as horrible. Well, the good thing about "Ju-On: The Final Curse" is that it is a direct continuation of the 2014 movie. The bad thing, well the entire movie essentially.
There is just nothing scary about a small boy (Toshio) with a horrible hair cut and his body painted white, wearing large underwear and carrying a cat whilst also sounding like a cat, and having his so-called mother turn up and crawl around on the floor awkwardly while having her eyes crossed and her mouth while opened, making the sounds of a dying croaking frog. Actually it was more hilarious than it was scary. Toshio is not a scary entity by any means. And I have been referring to him as the "milk boy". I just can't take that character seriously.
I will say, however, that the acting in the movie was actually good, especially taking into consideration the limitations and restrictions the actors and actresses had in terms of script, storyline and characters.
The events in "Ju-On: The Final Curse" wasn't particularly interesting, and I do hope that this is in fact the final movie. I suppose you have to be a Japanese girl in order to find "Ju-On: The Final Curse" scary.
