Can't really add much to Maxo's review.
I thought this part was a lot less than part 2. It also takes a bit long. I would have liked the kills to be shown much better. The tension before a murder is built up nicely. I can't get the telephone tune out of my head anymore, so they chose that well. Sometimes it got a bit clownish, like the boy spitting out feathers and dropping dead. That takes away a lot of power. In any case, you will have seen that entire computer screen and the faces that change when you move the mouse over it after 2 times. They kept repeating that. Also that the whole of Japan suddenly joined forces to help via the computer. As if everyone would believe this fable. It became too unbelievable. I also thought that creature was destroyed, but of course it had to end badly again with that deaf boy. Part 4 can unfortunately also be made again. I'm not going to watch it anymore, I'm kind of done with it.

Long-haired ghost children and mobile phones were apparently not Japanese enough, because here there are also very boring clichés such as schoolchildren killing each other and hip things with computers. That might still have worked if it had the ironic narrative tone of his original work. But no, we'll have to make do with a watered-down version of the sequel. So here's another soulless piece of mediocrity that takes itself deadly seriously with misplaced melodrama. They even managed to cast even worse actors and come up with even uglier special effects.

Director Manabu Asou takes this conclusion to the Japanese horror trilogy in a different direction, turning it into a simplistically designed slasher film. More killings and less substantive ambition ensure positive progress compared to the predecessor, despite the extremely limited computer effects. The acting is also not the best and that results in a boring last half hour, but the run-up contains enough events and pace to compensate for that somewhat. It is a pity that Asou has little feeling for building up tension and setting up an atmosphere, otherwise this part could have easily measured up to the effort of Takashi Miike. In many ways, Final feels like a hastily thrown together cash grab, but it is considerably easier to watch than the second chapter.
