Year 2, Day #324 "Ju-On: The Grudge" (Takashi Shimizu/2002) October wouldn't quite be complete without Shimizu's creepy vision of the curse that won't quit. Great film and the perfect time to check it out.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Kurosawa's CURE for the first time (yes I know) and it left me both nauseated and dizzy (read: anxious). Been a long time since a movie did that to me! I love the bleak but that whole movie felt like a prolonged curse (similar to the JU-ON title cards, except 2 hours). Great stuff. ☠️

Tonight it's JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2002, Takashi Shimizu). We just had the under-the-covers scene which instantly gave me a new fear when I watched this way too young. 👁️👁️
neutral · AI labelView post →Want something crazier? Look at the movie "Ju-On: The Grudge". The 2002 original. Not only did they record the creepy kid monster sounds with a CRT in the background (NTSC one) but you can also see them pitch bending the recording to make it creepier. (my original finding when I made AU DVD)

The movie adaptation will be directed by Takashi Shimizu (notable for his Ju-On franchise success). youtu.be/pe0VNpQOrLc?...

This did scare me proper at times and the music really helps with the scares and suspense Overall a really enjoyable watch (for the bits where I wasnt hiding haha) Anyone else a fan?

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched this with my family. This feels like old J-Horror similar to Ju-On & Ringu. I liked it lots because it has a slow build up and then showing what is actually happening. It does pay off in my opinion. Feels very eerie! Definitely give it a watch
neutral · AI labelView post →Having smoked a whole packet of J-Horror earlier in the year I needed a little break. But now I'm ready for more. So... Now watching: ‘Ju-On: The Curse’, dir. Takashi Shimizu, 2000. Shot on video, and, so far, all the creepier for it. 🎥🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie in the deezcord is Ju-On, but I'm on the fence about whether I should show Ju-On: The Curse (first movie) or skip straight to Ju-On: The Grudge (third movie), since that works fine as a stand alone and that's the one the American remake is based on HRM...
neutral · AI labelView post →This is an especially cool release for me as a Shimizu fan! I always say JU-ON is my favourite horror movie of all time, pound for pound, and the release of the Arrow JU-ON boxset was actually what gave me the push to start trying to get involved with physical media contributions 😜 fun full circle
positive · AI labelView post →Youtube recommended me a video in which someone described both Ring and Ju-On as "kind of Frankenstein stories," and wow, it's cool that you can just say whatever you want in your film discussion video!

neutral · AI labelView post →the movie itself I like, though it’s such an incredible Americanization of JU-ON—plot! Answers! Backstory! Frowning Google searches!—you might just hate it on principle. In 2004 it was also cut to a ridiculous PG-13 version not worth the time; director’s cut is different in some places that count
neutral · AI labelView post →What horror movie do you think everyone should watch at least once? Ju-On- The Grudge The original Japanese versions (1+2) are way better than the U.S. adaptations,which are a little more campy, but still does the movie(s) justice.

Unfortunately, it is already too late. You will die in 7 days unless you take good care of the wayward spirits.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ju-rei: The Uncanny is Koji Shiraishi’s first theatrical feature film. It’s a blatant Ju-on mockbuster, down to its loosely interconnected vignettes told in reverse order from 10 to a Prologue (0). But it also has probably the best title pun in J-Horror.

neutral · AI labelView post →Its October and I havent touched anything horror related yet so time to watch a favorite while in my blankie bunch <3 I definitely always preferred the original Ju-On films over the Western Grudge movies they spawned even if it means no Sarah Michelle Gellar doing Sarah Michelle Gellar activities

neutral · AI labelView post →Smile 2 is absolute junk. The original was fine, if derivative of better films like Ju On or It Follows, but Smile 2 is just the same film again, but with a wholy unrelatable protagonist, and washed up jump scares. Skip, skip, skip.

neutral · AI labelView post →9. JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2002) For the J-Horror curious, arguably the definitive film in the subgenre. Sleep with the Lights On terrifying but patient too, and codifies many of the recurring themes of the J-Horror boom.

neutral · AI labelView post →Every October I make a point to watch as many spooky movies as I can and the newest addition to the movie marathon last night was Ju-On: The Grudge It was really good! I loved the pacing, and was impressed that you SEE the ‘monster’ but that does not stop it from being scary in the slightest.
positive · AI labelView post →Ju-On finished~ Still a great horror film with a lot of great moments Onward to Pulse and the Horrors of The Net because Ghosts are in your Puter RIGHT NOW!!!
positive · AI labelView post →My son & I went to see the 25th anniversary 4k V-Cinema version of Ju-on. It is an excellent film, but 4K has met its match. The original video image is far from perfect. Blown up on a cinema screen, it looks awful. It's best watched on a TV. #JHorror #Ju-on #呪怨
