'The Grudge' Mania Trivia Quiz

Answer: Kayako's hand

Kayako puts her hand underneath Karen's head as a way to scare her, when Karen realises this she turns around, but the hand is gone. Karen sees Kayako again in the reflection on the bus and a few times in the house.

Answer: Yoko

Yoko is a volunteer at the Care Centre, like Karen, who gets a job looking after a sick woman who is living in Kayako's house. Yoko is a sweet and innocent girl who rides a bike to work everyday, but unfortunatly she gets involved with Kayako's curse. Yoko hears a noise coming from the attic.

She goes up there only to find Kayako who then rips off her jaw which the Japanese police find later on in the movie.

Answer: Burns down the house

Karen thinks that burning down the house will stop Kayako killing, but as we find out in the sequel - she only makes it worse. Now Kayako can spread her curse to next door and can kill people who haven't stepped inside her house.

Answer: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar got the part after being the director's first choice; I envy her. She stars in 'The Grudge' along side Jason Behr, who she worked with in 'Buffy'. She has also starred in 'The Return' and both 'Scooby Doo' movies. Karen is an American nurse working in Tokyo to pass her degree, only her job leads her to Kayako's house, were she becomes part of the curse.

Answer: Kayako makes him jump off a balcony.

Peter jumps off a balcony, which we see at the start off the movie. When Karen goes into the house for the last time, the house shows her a flashback of what happened when he went in there. He finds Kayako's journal which says that she's in love with a guy named Peter but then he turns around and sees loads of pictures of Kayako with pins in her eyes.

After that he goes into another room where he see Takeo hung on a piece of Kayako's hair and Toshio swinging the body. Kayako makes him jump off the balcony because he has entered the house before, when Kayako was alive.

Therefore he has become part of the curse.

Answer: Her jaw

Yoko's death is one of the first we see in this movie. She goes up into the attic and Kayako rips her jaw off. The police find this later on when they find the bodies of the current residents curled up in the corner. Yoko then visits Karen's boss and kills him (although we don't see this).

Answer: Takashi Shimizu

Takashi Shimizu directed the original Japanese 'Ju On' films and also the American version, 'The Grudge'. He is well known in Japan as one of the best horror movie directers. Since writing and directing 'The Grudge' Shimizu has worked on other horror movies such as 'Marebito' (2004) and 'The Great Horror Family', TV series (2004-2005).

Answer: A Book

Karen is volunteering at the Care Centre to get her degree. In this scene we see that they are a happy couple, only that all goes awry when Karen enters the house.
This scene is used to make the audience understand more about the background concerning the two main characters. The audience also gets to meet Karen's boss, so that Kayako can kill him later on in the movie. Doug goes into the house to find Karen, after finding her research and, unfortunately, Kayako kills him.

Answer: Takeo

Takeo finds Kayako's journal, which has love messages in it about another man and he goes into a rage! He snaps Kayako's neck (hence the cracking sound that she makes), drowns Toshio and kills Toshio's cat - afterwards he hangs himself.

Answer: She doesn't.

Karen doesn't die at the end of the movie, as we find out the 'The Grudge 2'. She survives for a while into the sequel but Kayako pushes her of the roof in the hospital.
