Movie Reviews of Ju-on (The Grudge)
Movie Review: Not worth my 25 cents
Summary: 1 Stars
Some guy that was really into horror movies told me this was the scariest movie he'd ever seen. Since I'm a horror movie junkie, with a great appreciation for B-lists, I gave this movie a try. It was NOT worth the 25 cents I paid plus shipping and handling. I proceeded to give that guy a roundhouse kick.
Summary of Ju-on (The Grudge)
An eerie tale of a family who is brutally killed in their own home leaving behind an evil spirit lurking in the shadows. When an unknowing homecare worker enters the spirit is awakened and a terrifying chain of events begins passing through all those who step foot in this dark house.

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
