Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)

Directed by: Takashi Shimizu
Cinematography by: Tokushô Kikumura
Country: Japan
Genre: Horror

Plot:
An inescapable curse born of violent death lives within a house, hounding all those it comes in contact with until their ill-fated, terror-stained demise.


Reasons to watch:
Despite its made-for-TV production quality and low-budget effects, Ju-on is a memorably unsettling experience that rips through characters faster than a Game of Thrones story arc. Shimizu also offers some subtle but poignant themes on the ripple effects of death as it blooms outwards touching far more than just the victim(s) and those immediately closest to them.


Where to watch:
Available for rent or purchase
