@buyhdtrsd All of these were directed by the same guy. Declaring the American version better is no big deal since all you're saying is you preferred how he directed the American versions instead of the Japanese ones.
the movie is soo booring ... all the "scary" parts seem rather funny to me ... especially the meowing boy... i like psychological horror ... but this one... is just boring
I have always enjoyed the Japanese horror films it is said they are more psychological not a bunch of monsters jumping out at you... The meow is different but creepy at the same time. The kid and the mother were both creepy. I like this movie... Got goosebumps a few times ont his one but the end of Grudge creeped me out the most...
@doomburn By any chance would you know someone I could purchase a DVD copy of either of the first two (Ju-On The Curse)? I want to have the whole series but those two I cannot find anywhere.
@IroNoHimitsu nope Katasumi and 44444444444 are short films and only helps you to understand wat happen with the girl wihtout jaw and her brother(cellphone)
@buyhdtrsd ...you may think so. But be grateful Ju-on was not considered so silly in Jpn, it proved to be quite successful or else there would never been the theatrical versions, both Japanese or American, for you to enjoy.
Well I've learned I don't mind subtitles but I've also learned that I prefer The Grudge to Ju-On. This just didn't have any effect on me at all. I'm glad I've watched it though coz I was so curious to see what people were talking about, so many say it's that much scarier than the US version (it SO isn't)... so thanks for putting it on here! :)
@RetroGirl1974 Just so you know, the american version is a remake of both this movie AND Juon The Grudge, so of course this one won't seem as scary on it's own.
@Manofaction0 read more about it the movie goes back and forth to other bits in time to explain whats happening to the people who are living in the house where Kayako and Toshio were murdered by Takeo
For those asking what happened in the end. The psychic sees that the woman who has bought the house is possessed by the curse, and that it will continue onwards. The throw away line about the psychic's nephew acting strange I think infers that they are touched by the curse and perhaps the boy is acting like Toshio, possessed by him. I haven't seen the other films so perhaps this is expanded upon. All I know is I loved this film!
@jons44 ...the woman at the window is the part of the latest couple to move into the Saeki house. The realtor told his sister, the psychic, they had drank the sake and did not have a bad reaction to it.
@jordansholaja10 agreed. juon original is nothing compared to the american version. I actually laughed at it. compared to the american version when I got a few nice scares :D
@angelchinky Well, he died. I just don't know how. They never really told you, it was just implied. :P And that lady must be some sort of exorcist or a medium or something, so she went back to see if the people in the house were okay, but judging from the way the she reacted to them, they must've been possessed by the grudge.
Watched the whole movie now... came here to listen to the ending music which they cut from the version I've downloaded... the ending theme easily makes the whole thing more creepy, but overall... this movie is not that scary! I think Ringu was scarier than this one. And "A Tale of Two Sisters" was just... OMFG that movie.
BUT: I still love this movie, I love the story in it. A simple haunted house story but my god, so brilliantly told. Very good and interesting movie!! I recommend it!
.i would have liked the story if i just know why those things are happening...i don't know what's with the cat...i don't even know the reason behind the boy and his mother..in short...i didn't understand the story..
@SkullxKillerin .....if you mean Kayako....no. In Jpn folklore the concept of the lands of the Dead is not the same as Heaven. In Jpn afterlife either a family Spirit is honored and remembered with the proper rituals so they remain to watch over the family or go on to be reincarnated to start a new life. In Kayako's case the fate of her Reikon (Spirit) is trapped in the mortal world by the jealous rage of her husband when he murdered her.
@neroxero ....there are proper rituals to be done to assure the Spirit has a uneventful journey to the lands of the dead. But first it must be acknowledged there is a Onryō and in the current modern world most are conditioned by society to not believe in ghosts, even in Japan
lik dis shxt is crazi nuthen hapen 2 both of them yet luks lik the ghost want the ladies attenction more even doe she left tht hous she mit go bk 2 dat place
@andXsoXitXis In the american versions, sometimes the new owners would reinact the murder (they'd go crazy and kill eachother). That may be what was going on, but I'm not sure either ;)
mmm to me this wasnt all that scary..it had its moments i guess. Why is it that the remakes seem more scary to me? Maybe because i seen the remake first then the original or is just because the Japanese dont quite put the scare in their movies? uh i dont know but the remake had me freaking out for days especially because i had the attic in my room!!
@lolazz22 hi. i got a bit confused myself...so this is the prequel movie...could you please tell me the english titles of the three following ones? thank you very much.
@fastlove1971 ...no, 'Ju-on: The Curse' is not a prequel. It is the original movie that started the series. Because of the unexpected success and popularity the following movies were made: Ju-on: The Curse 2 (the sequel; also released as V-Cinema)....the Jpn theatrical releases: Ju-on: The Grudge and Ju-on: The Grudge 2 ....the American theatrical releases: The Grudge, The Grudge 2.
@lolazz22 ...actually "Ju-on: The Curse" is not a prequel but the original story and the first movie of the quite successful series. The explanation is in the chapter entitled "Kayako".
This is a low budget movie? no offense but i think it is very good and whole time when i was watching it, i thought it was an regular budget movie. And i did liked it :)
@FLCLeureka7 my guess is that it was. it was made into an american version cause it got a fanbase following it. which is WHY there are 6 movies in japanese :P
ive seen all 3 american versions of the grudge and i did like them, but this movie is very good
@FLCLeureka7 it's low budget, i even got a vcd of this (the one without the creeeking sound of kayako and no subs that's why i did't understood the story back then)
@FLCLeureka7 Thought the missing jaw scene was pretty poor. I mean, this film was made in 2000. Most films at that time had far superior animation than that. Just look at Jurrassic park, it was made in 1993 and the animation in that was amazing compared to the animation used in this movie.
@aidentheodd Yeah true but I don't care since they protrayed the story well. Not "special effect" thats the word from me, i'm raised in "special effects" country, America. And I do not enjoy them. ;) But yes ur right. that scene was poor compared to jurassic park.
@FLCLeureka7 Great comment, but why do you say no offense when you are giving a compliment? It's like saying: No offense but what you cook tastes really good. No offense btw ;)
@FLCLeureka7 ...yes it was a low budget movie. It was intended for TV and DVD release. In Jpn this type of low budget productions are call V-Cinema. The unexpected favorable word of mouth encouraged making a full theatrical version, in Jpn, Ju-on: The Grudge and Ju-on: The Grudge 2 and later the American releases: The Grudge and The Grudge 2/
hey people..i have something to say....you all probably disagree with what i said...but i have to say the grudge in american version is much better than this.....in my opinion, the grudge in american version is really scary than this.
This isn't the one that the American version is based on. The one that it's based on is Ju-On: The GRUDGE, not Ju-On: The CURSE. The CURSE was a very low budget film; the Grudge is a lot better and scarier- guaranteed to be better than the American version.
wth.. wat happen next.. ???? i though that hse is hunted becuz the father kill koyoko and his son?? den wat happen t de father?? why tis movie jump here n there de...?? =[[
I love it. It's a little harder to follow than the English version but much scarier and deep. I'm going to watch the rest of the movies in this series now! =)
@TubeSeeker09 Ju-on is probably harder for us to understand since we're American and our culture is so different from the Japanese. But I definitely agree with you on the horror part. The Japanese are much better at horror these days than Americans are. All we ever have anymore are slasher films, not horror.
@FallenNephilimTeukie Well, among the Asian ghosts/demons/evils (whatever), Japanese ghost, dying with the great grudge, is the hardest to defeat one or probably undefeatable I guess. In Japan, there are levels of the ghosts and I think Kiyoko (the ghost) is the top level among them.
@TubeSeeker09 I read a book on Japanese mythology once, and remember hearing about the different levels of ghosts and stuff. There are like the lowest levels who are basically just minions, the the middle levels who can be familiars, and stuff like that.
@FallenNephilimTeukie I'm sure that you're surprised that an old stuff could became a ghost (but low level) becuase the owner just abandon to use it such as umbrella ghost (as I can remember). It got spirit ("Ju-Rei" or Eu-Ray) in itself (somes are good and somes are bad). That's why Japanese people would have their customary to check up their old stuffs annually. But the house in this story is different, it got affect by Kyoko's great grudges and become dangerous to any visitor.
What a great TV movie, only found out that this was the very first Ju-on recently. I think it's better than the movie version, more scary, creepy, and it has Chiaki in it, will definately buy it if I can find it.
Holy Schmoley, so there are 2 Ju-on the curse TV movies, 2 Ju-on the Grudge movies and 3 American Grudge movies and It seems 2 short films made before the 1st curse movie, when's the Tv series coming out???
And there are two brand new movies coming out in Japan at the end of June (Cinema premiere 27.06.2009): "Ju-On - Black Girl" and "Ju-On - White Woman". They are going to be shown as Double-Feature to Ju-On´s 10th anniversary.

For people saying this version is remade, it isn't. Ju-On The Grudge is the remade version. It's also the 3rd movie out of a series of films.
Here are the titles in the series:
-Katasumi and 4444444444
-Ju-On The Curse 1
-Ju-On The Curse 2
-Ju-On The Grudge 1
-Ju-on The Grudge 2
-Ju-On The Girl in Black/Old Lady in White
The Curse were both TV movies. They were popular enough to have a a full blown theatrical release. With the Grudge films being remade in America.
Thumbs up so people know.

@aidentheodd That's because this movie was made for tv on a very low budget.

@FLCLeureka7 Great comment, but why do you say no offense when you are giving a compliment? It's like saying: No offense but what you cook tastes really good. No offense btw ;)

@2CSST2 lol good point u got. I said that in case if someone disagree. but I think ur right :P

@FLCLeureka7 ...yes it was a low budget movie. It was intended for TV and DVD release. In Jpn this type of low budget productions are call V-Cinema. The unexpected favorable word of mouth encouraged making a full theatrical version, in Jpn, Ju-on: The Grudge and Ju-on: The Grudge 2 and later the American releases: The Grudge and The Grudge 2/

This isn't the one that the American version is based on. The one that it's based on is Ju-On: The GRUDGE, not Ju-On: The CURSE. The CURSE was a very low budget film; the Grudge is a lot better and scarier- guaranteed to be better than the American version.

I love it. It's a little harder to follow than the English version but much scarier and deep. I'm going to watch the rest of the movies in this series now! =)

I think Ju-on(Japan) is more terror than The Grudge(U.S.) but the Grudge is more understandable the story line than Ju-on...

@TubeSeeker09 correct
clieanjay 1 year ago
@TubeSeeker09 Ju-on is probably harder for us to understand since we're American and our culture is so different from the Japanese. But I definitely agree with you on the horror part. The Japanese are much better at horror these days than Americans are. All we ever have anymore are slasher films, not horror.

@FallenNephilimTeukie Well, among the Asian ghosts/demons/evils (whatever), Japanese ghost, dying with the great grudge, is the hardest to defeat one or probably undefeatable I guess. In Japan, there are levels of the ghosts and I think Kiyoko (the ghost) is the top level among them.
TubeSeeker09 1 year ago
@TubeSeeker09 I read a book on Japanese mythology once, and remember hearing about the different levels of ghosts and stuff. There are like the lowest levels who are basically just minions, the the middle levels who can be familiars, and stuff like that.
FallenNephilimTeukie 1 year ago
@FallenNephilimTeukie I'm sure that you're surprised that an old stuff could became a ghost (but low level) becuase the owner just abandon to use it such as umbrella ghost (as I can remember). It got spirit ("Ju-Rei" or Eu-Ray) in itself (somes are good and somes are bad). That's why Japanese people would have their customary to check up their old stuffs annually. But the house in this story is different, it got affect by Kyoko's great grudges and become dangerous to any visitor.

What a great TV movie, only found out that this was the very first Ju-on recently. I think it's better than the movie version, more scary, creepy, and it has Chiaki in it, will definately buy it if I can find it.
Thanks for sharing.

And there are two brand new movies coming out in Japan at the end of June (Cinema premiere 27.06.2009): "Ju-On - Black Girl" and "Ju-On - White Woman". They are going to be shown as Double-Feature to Ju-On´s 10th anniversary.
