Ju-On: Japanese version of The Grudge
#1
Has anyone seen the Japanese version of The Grudge? I would call this one a modern-day gothic horror, Japanese style. Many gothic elements here: the creepy house; the murdering ghost; the hauntings worked upon the victims (anyone coming into physical contact) with the building where the original crime took place.

Here is further proof that you don't need a castle or chateau for a backdrop...try a regular single-family house. Who would suspect such evil to thrive in such an "ordinary" place? The blurry lines between waking life and another unknown dimension with past overtones is scarier still.

Clearly the soundtrack heightens all of the horrifying aspects.
