Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand .. an old-fashioned sense of scary movies and creates an atmosphere of dread from simple techniques: blank faced ghosts with hollow yet desperate expressions, lingering images that ratchet up the tension, and imaginative sound effects ... Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography The lighting-design of Ju-On: The Grudge is fantastic. Shimizu refuses to cheaply exploit darkness to make the scares and horror stronger... Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry An unforgiving and relentless curse, Ju-on delivers on its promise to terrify even long after the movie has ended. Mar 26, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...filmmaker Takashi Shimizu generally proves unable to sustain the viewer's interest for more than a few minutes at a time...

Scott M There have been many entries into this series, but this one is probably the best. While it's not quite as disturbing and brutal as the original tv movie, it benefits greatly from its larger budget, ambitious storytelling, and creative direction. What it loses in sheer intensity and fright-factor, it gains in ghostly eeriness and memorable scare sequences. Whether you prefer this version of the tv version is a matter of personal preference, but both of them beat the hell out of the decent but much less frightening American remake. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Ante K A suspenseful, twisting masterpiece that keeps you guessing until the very end. Ju-On: The Grudge is a modern masterpiece in horror. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Lloyd S Interesting movie, worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Helene S one of my favorite movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, esse filme tem uma história meio interessante, com sustos fracos e partes não tão boas. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Sams K Nothing special for me, good directing and photography but definitely not scary or disturbing Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
