Did you know

• The original plan was to reboot the series completely, featuring a new storyline that abandons the Saeki family, but it was confirmed in an interview with Nicolas Pesce that the film takes place during the events of The Grudge (2004) and The Grudge 2 (2006).

• The house's number in the film is 44, a reference to the original Ju-on short film 4444444444 (1998). 4 is also a number of bad luck in Japanese culture due to the number in Japanese specifically being a homophone for the character Shi, which means death.

• Despite being the central antagonist of the films, Kayako only has about 7-8 seconds of screen time (if you also count her arm lunging out from a garbage bag), and only appears in the opening scene with Fiona in Tokyo. The Landers family as ghosts are the main antagonists, their deaths having created a new curse.
