Horror Movie of the Day: Ju-On (2000)

The Grudge Curse, also known as Ju-on(呪怨): A curse born of a strong grudge held by someone who died. The place of his death gathers his grudge. Anyone who comes in contact with this curse shall lose his life and a new curse is born.

Shunsuke Kobayashi is a school teacher that comes to the Saeki residence with concern. His student Toshio has been absent for a few days, so he goes in hope to ask what happened. Finding the boy heavily injured, it becomes evident something's very wrong in that house. Unfortunately for Kobashi, he doesn't realize yet how wrong that actually is.

The first feature length film in Ju-on series, this direct to video production looks the part: you can tell the budget was not very high as some the special effects or even the camera quality leave a lot to be desired. But even with those faults (or on occasion taking advantage out of them) the end result is still unsettling and quite disturbing.

Going full in media res in like many a Japanese ghost story would, it leaves many of its details implied or somewhat open to interpretation. Instead you get this collection of vignettes where things go south pretty much immediately. But as you eventually get more context, the creepier the story gets as the puzzle pieces start falling into place. With a very striking depiction of obsession and some harrowing imagery adjacent to it, if the ghosts on screen don't do it for you their backstory certainly will.

Props to the sound design, camerawork and editing help in achieving this effect. They play their cards intelligently to make the most with the least, creating some iconic bits in the process. It doesn't get the recognition it deserves as the third entry Ju-On:The Grudge (released in 2002 and the first theatrical release) eclipses it. Which is a shame because for how cheaper it was made for it's still arguably the best out of them by quite the wide margin.
