 Her death is almost equal in both story lines, with the exception of showing or mentioning the use of the utility knife to slash her, which only appears in "Ju-on" due to American violence ratings.The scene of her crawling down the stairs, having her neck broken and being put in the attic are shown in the director's cut of "The Grudge", and parts of it are shown in the theatrical version.In the Japanese films, Kayako's death is similar to the film versions.
