    Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it’s gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can’t get you if you’re nowhere close to the sea.

      It says 24 hours of being chased by the villain. That means the timer won’t start until they start chasing you.

        That’d be a good Monkey’s Paw style answer if James Bond was anywhere near horror. People thinking they can kick back and sleep off a day just to end up with a big guy with metal teeth that can chomp through frigging steel cable busting in their door.

      So theres a lot in the books that never comes up in the film. She can impregnate you and make you give birth to a clone of her.

        Well that’s got to take longer than 24 hours, surely? Or is the speed of the pregnancy part of the horror? Can she mpreg!?

          No, the pregnancy is accelerated, but I think it takes longr than a day, but it might be faster in some circumstances. Even if you get 3 billion dollars, it doesnt really matter if you’re going to die giving birth to a hermaphroditic hybrid of homosapian and smallpox days later.

          As far as mpreg goes; we dont know. Do you want to take that risk?
