Ju-On: The Grudge

Ju-On: The Grudge

Directed by Takashi Shimizu

The first theatrical JU-ON story became a landmark in the Asian horror genre, helping entice audiences from around the world to check out the continent’s terrifying fright films. Like the first two films (THE CURSE 1 & 2), THE GRUDGE revolves around a haunted house where a jealous man killed his wife and son, whose ghosts attack anyone who enters their home, spreading violence like an insidious virus. Structured in a completely different way than Western horror films, THE GRUDGE produces a deeply unsettling feeling in the viewer that lasts long after the credits roll.

A spirit marks anybody who enters the house where it resides

Cast: Okina Megumi, Ito Misaki, Uehara Misa, Ichikawa Yui

Maybe I just don't get Asian horror but this movie didn't do it for me. Overacted and underperformed, 1970's Brady Bunch production quality, and most importantly, just not scary. This movie was a big disappointment for me and I won't be watching more of the Ju-On series.

YOU NEED TO NORMAILIZE THE AUDIO ON THIS FILE. The difference between the high and mid volume range is high enough to cause harm to people listening on headphones. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. (plus, Ju-on has, like, the best soundtrack of the 90s J-Horror scene, and totes deserves better. )

I guess horror cliches are universal.
