Frightening & Intense Scenes
Severe
The scene where Kayako first appears to kill Sachie can be intense, as her appearance is very sudden.
There is too much tension and suspense throughout the film, as well as strong scenes of horror in which appear the ghosts of Kayako and Toshio. It also has many scares and strong images. It contains strong scenes of violence both to people and animals.
