When a woman was brutally murdered by her husband in her house, she placed a Ju-on, or "curse grudge," on the home. Now anyone who enters the building is doomed to face a horrible death. At least, that's the urban legend that a television crew is investigating. But TV host Tomoka Miura (Chiharu Niiyama) and actress Kyoko Harase (Noriko Sakai) soon discover that the story isn't just a legend. They're being haunted by a terrifying child-like ghost, and everyone on the crew is turning up dead.

Critics Consensus

The film grows more repetitive as it goes on, and as a result, the scares lessen.

Jay Weissberg Variety The truly frightening thought is how long this franchise, like the curse itself, can continue to be reborn. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jul 7, 2006 Full Review Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press If you are new to horror that places atmosphere and psychological intensity over gore, Ju-On is a good place to start. Rated: 3/4 Nov 5, 2004 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 2/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Steve Biodrowski ESplatter ... a film that, perhaps better than any other ever made, conveys the disturbing sense of the uncanny -- of fear that goes beyond reason or explanation ...

MasaHiro X By far the most solid entry into the Ju-On film series, the creative feel of Ju-On: The Curse & the added cinematography of Ju-On: The Grudge make this feel like what Takashi Shimizu set out to do with Ju-On: The Grudge… This film is downright nightmare fuel, scares are top notch, the best they've ever been, the film itself carries a spooky feel and amps up during the final half. The ending is a serious shocking revelation, Ju-On wouldn't be what it is today without this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review robert p Not as Good as the first one still has plenty of scares!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Alot better then the remake Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Agghiacciante e molto intrigante! Lo stile di recitazione è un po' stereotipato, ma ci si può sorvolare. Comunque, in fatto di horror, il Giappone non delude mai! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one very scary movie! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review william s More oalong the lines of the first with that creep factor still up there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
