Although the film takes place in Chicago and (briefly) Tokyo, it was filmed in Bulgaria, for economic reasons. The location of filming caused issues with the predominantly English speaking cast and crew, who couldn't speak Bulgarian, resulting in the need for several translators on set.
Is the first film in either The Grudge or Ju-on franchises to take place in chronological order. A staple of the series was that each film would employ non-linear storytelling, until this film.
The first feature-length film in either the Ju-on or The Grudge series not to star Takako Fuji as Kayako. This is also the first American Grudge film not to feature Takashi Matsuyama as Takeo, who only appears via archive footage. His spirit is said to have possessed Max however.
The first Grudge film to be released straight to video since the first 2 original Ju-on films that were released straight to video (though the film did get a limited theatrical release in some foreign territories).
Although the previous film was modestly successful, it still underperformed below expectations (grossing only $70 million to a $20 million budget). This, along with Takashi Shimizu and Takako Fuji ultimately not returning for this film, lead to Sony reducing the budget of this film to $5 million, a shooting location of Bulgaria, and a straight-to-video release.
"Rose: [about oxygen tank] Can I breathe underwater with that? Max: You need a scuba tank for that. Rose: I could go in a shark cage. Max: You could, but I'd be careful. Sharks have a taste for little girls."
"Max: I have been saddled with Rose since Mom and Dad died. Not you, me. She is not your problem! Lisa: What is wrong with you? Max: Not a goddamn thing, that's what. I'm young, healthy. I got all the time in the world since I was just fired. Yeah, what, are you surprised? Surprised that I couldn't manage a full-time job while raising a chronically sick 8-year-old? Lisa: You should have said something. Max: Gee, I wish I had. Oh, wait, I did, but you were too busy fucking Andy all over the goddamn building to listen to me. Lisa: Max, please, can we just all go? I mean, if we don't have to be here. Max: We're not going anywhere, sis. But you, maybe it's time you go."
