Ju-On 4: The Final

Being not directed by the creator who made this film a blockbuster success ultimately made this film a little sad to watch. This film continues where the previous film ends, and is meant to be the final film for the series, although I personally doubt they would actually axe a series that has been so successful. This film manages to send scares as the previous ones, but the plot is very poor. The plot is never meant to be organised as Ju-On films never have an organised plot, but the plots used to be able to be arranged to get a fluid one which are at best logical and connected. This film seems to have very sloppy plots, with inconsistent storyline between characters. There are some scary moments that have been abused so much it is no longer scary. Some things are not explained, and some materialised without proper explanation or clear relation to any of its events, they gave the impression that their mere existence is to scare. This is a very disappointing finale, and is not really worth watching.

The best part of the film would be, quite funnily, a translation error. The little girl in the hospital, upon meeting Toshio, introduces herself by saying “我叫绘菜", but the Malay subtitle wrote it as "saya pesan sayuran campuran". Thank you for making me laugh while watching a horror movie!
