Ju-on (The Grudge) description
Following in the footsteps of The Ring cycle, the Ju-On series of horror films has taken Japan by the throat. According to this movie, the title refers to a curse placed upon a house where violence occurred. Sure enough, we see a string of unhappy encounters in a seemingly ordinary home, where ghosts have settled in the aftermath of murder. Director Takashi Shimizu (who also directed the Hollywood remake, The Grudge) constructs the picture out of separate fragments, not told in chronological order; the haunted house is the main character, not any one of the unsuspecting human characters. Cult mavens might suggest that Shimizu uses devices and images that have already worked well in films by Hideo Nakata and Kiyoshi Kurosawa--the Japanese horror film does have its conventions. But none of that matters if you're watching this movie alone at home on a dark night. Click, click, click.... --Robert Horton |

Great but sometimes hard to follow
|
| I personally loved Ju-on. This is the original movie that the american "Grudge" was based on. If you saw the american version it follows the original pretty well with a mix of america's sequal. It's in japanese and english dub. The only problem with this movie is that I can be hard to follow because you don't have a strict time line. You find yourself skipping around through characters and ultimately in a time warp. Sometimes you see what is happening now and in the past at the same time and you're not quite sure what is real. Other than that the movie is wonerful a suspense that is definately worth watching! |
