problably already considered (like "Infernal Affairs" if I'm not mistaken?):

wouldn't it be fun to shoot a "final" instalment to the series in which,
after showing (some fun examples of) the ever worsening "contamination" (in an apocalyptic manner why not),
the film would retrace the first step of the original family, when the future murderer and murdered ones move in the house as an unususpecting happy family?

cf. the idea of possible / impossible entropy: decay in reverse, as explored by "Irreversible" or "5X2". All along the way, the story could/would show how the tragedy could have been averted. ...up until the father finally slaughters the family, thereby ending the saga in a neat return to the start of the first episode.

I thank you, that will be 10.000 for the idea. ;-))

Its a good concept but personally, it won't be easy to make. The films already implied and proved a lot about the details of the Saeki family before their unfortunate demise.

Due to that, there just can't be too much to tell much more about their past.

Interesting, but at least for me it's all clear from "Ju On" (2000) and "Ju On 2" (2000), also known in USA as "Ju On 'The Curse' 1 & 2".

I rather know how the second family move in, and what happened to the father. The third family, we are more clear about it, through "Ju On" (2003) aka "Ju On The Grudge 1".

Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language.
