what about jake? what about his family?



when somebody dies the way haiako died, they leave behind a terrible curse.

If I was jake, and some crazy ghost girl whom I've done NO evil killed my mother and father and sister I would be pretty much pissed.

She would feel my rage.
But in this movie, people like jake get to die without leaving their spirits behind to give them justice.
Why?

Do only japanese teenage girls get to receive that honor ?
I call this thing CRAP>

The idea is that you become part of the curse; not creating another one, just making Kayako's curse stronger.

The idea is that if Kayako came after me, I'll slap her.

I'd do her.

I'd do her bad.

To the OP, I thought the same thing and came up with two answers.


First, Jake was killed by Kyako, who is already a ghost, and not by someone living. So that could have made a difference. But then the rest of the family was killed by the stepmother, so that killed that theory.


The second theory was the fact that it was a japanese curse that only affected the japanese people because of how strong they believe.

That is all I could come up with at the moment. Good question, though.

The rest of the family was killed by the stepmother because of Kayako's curse. By the time she kills Jake's older sister, she was probably as dead as the school psychiatrist back in Japan. Hence why she looked all weird and didn't scream bloody murder as she was pulled under the water in the tub.

When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won.

Yes, but regardless they were killed by the stepmother. I don't think that she was already dead, posessed into insanity, maybe, but not dead yet. Just my opinion.

No, she was possessed. The stepmother didn't kill anyone. Kayako acting through her did. It doesn't matter if she was dead or not.

Kayako was most certainly not a "teenage girl."

someone mentioned something about a tails doll, I'm curious, that something from this trilogy or a reference to another horror movie?

Jake can get his own movie

By what I remember in the other films, once you're killed by the Ju-on you become part of it. So people like Aubrey became ghostly monsters themselves. I kept expecting to see a Ju-On Jake kill the psychiatrist but, alas, it wasn't to be.
