Beginning shortly after the terrifying conclusion of The Grudge 2, the latest installment of the successful franchise tells the story of a family tormented by the legendary curse which has now firmly taken root in a Chicago apartment building.

The fate of Jake (Matthew Knight), the young boy who survived the slaughter of his family in the previous film, is revealed. Confined to an observation room in a psychiatric institution, Jake is traumatized and frightened to the core. He’s convinced that he’s next to die, a belief dismissed by Dr. Sullivan (Shawnee Smith). Left alone for the night, Jake is soon paid a visit, one with frightening and fatal results.

Back at the apartment building, a family struggles to get by. Lisa (Johanna Braddy – the upcoming “Fame” remake) has bright, teenage aspirations of life as a New York fashion designer, but the tragic grind of reality isn’t making it easy. Her older brother, Max (Gil McKinney) is the building’s manager, someone overwhelmed by the burden of caring for their chronically sick little sister, Rose (Jadie Hobson), and the departure of tenants spurred by the recent massacre.

When Dr. Sullivan pays a visit to investigate Jake’s death, Lisa finds herself drawn into the mysterious circumstances surrounding his demise. As ghostly encounters unfold and people continue to die, Lisa discovers the gruesome truth behind the relentless curse born from a powerful rage. A curse that spreads with each victim. A curse that can’t be stopped.

Or can it? Tracing the path of the connected deaths, Naoko (Emi Ikehata) travels from Japan with a bold plan to end the suffering, but she needs Lisa and Rose’s help to do it.
