Awesome! I love how sometimes the shots are bland, and sometimes they're essential, like this one. (This is from the third Ju-On, right? Not the first one that was shot on video?)
They made two films that were cheap and shot on video for Japanese direct-to-video release, then the third film was shot on film and that's the one that was released in the US as "Ju-On: The Grudge". Then they made a sequel to that one, then they made the American version, and then they made a sequel to _that_ one plus a third direct-to-video one that I haven't seen, and two more Japanese sequels from different directors.

ReplyDeleteI like this one, even though it felt like they crammed in a few to many story-lines into one movie...but it's still creepy as all hell.
ReplyDeleteOh holy effing shit. That's going to stay with me all day.
ReplyDeleteYou have offended my family and you have offended a shaolin temple.
ReplyDeleteThis is from the first film, I believe? Or whatever's been labeled such for the US release.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one's pretty perfect, although he is slightly less scary when you can see that his eyeliner's smudged. :D
"Say whaaaaaaaaaaa?!"
