This is a tricky one...but I can't ignore it.
In the *Theatrical Cut* of The Grudge 2, this poor lady is just some sick lady who guilt-trips her one daughter- Amber Tamblyn- into checking on her other one- Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Aside from one random Dream Sequence, that's it.
...but in the Alternate Epilogue, her Story is wrapped up. Yea?
After everything (or in the middle, since time is variable in this Series), she gets a delivery at home.
It comes from...Japan.
Yes, just Japan. Countries send me packages with no forwarding address all of the time!
The package contains her now dead Daughters' clothes (aw) and the Journal read by Tamblyn earlier.
As she looks through it (as you do with strange books), hair appears in it and then a freaky eye!
Suddenly she gets a 'lump in her throat...'
...and a giant hairball comes out of her mouth, destroying her jaw like some sort of candy that affects her jaw negatively. What is that thing called again?
Her fate is sealed with a strange POV shot of Kayako's eyes as she sees Sick Mom without her jaw (a Grudge tradition).
What was the point of this? Why did it kill this woman for no clear reason? Why did it set up its own 'revenge' kill?
I guess the Producers questioned this too...and cut this Epilogue. They also reshot the Ending before that- bonus!
Did she deserve to die? No.
Does this make any sense? No.
It was still on the DVD, so it counts!
Next up, a random death or two from a recent Anime Film. Should be random and pointless. Stay tuned...
