Genre: Drama / Horror / Thriller
Plot Summary for Ju-on: The Grudge (2003)
It looks like a normal, everyday house, but the atmosphere about it is anything but. Something happened here once... no, even now there is a terror here, born of a spirit that possesses this place. The various supernatural experiences undergone by the different owners of the house, unaware of the horrible events that have taken place here, mingle across time, and the true form of the terrifying, invisible "Ju-On" that nests in this house becomes clear...
An evil curse and vengeful spirits seem to linger upon a house where the horrific murder of a woman and child took place and anyone who sets foot inside the house is marked for a terrifying haunting which will not rest. One by one, those who have been tainted by the house begin to die, and nowhere is safe.

Goofs for Ju-on: The Grudge (2003)
Revealing mistakes: When Rika wakes up in bed to a room full of yowling black cats, several of the cats are
obviously statues. Some of them are even clearly replicas of the same statue.
Rika is a care worker for the social services. Its her first assignment by herself. Her duties is to look after an involute woman who doesn't speak. Even before Rika enters the house she doesn't feel right. The house is a mess, the rest of the family is missing with the woman left alone. Soon Rika finds a boy locked in a room; Toshio. But there is a more malevolent force in this house, that is consuming all how come into contact.
Ju-On is an interesting twist on the haunted house genre. With the multi-linear story line, we see how the people who have come into contact with the force surrounding this house have meet their fate. The atmosphere is eerie and foreboding, but its over all not scary. There are moments that your skin crawls; but it doesn't keep it at a constant pace. The multiple story lines does become redundant after awhile. They should have focused more upon only a few people and flesh out their story, instead of adding story line upon story line. They don't even add much information to the overall story.
I think the problem i had with this is that i got stuck in the cultural translation. At times the mythology went over my head, not understanding a lot of the significance that the story holds. Janpanese ghost stories are so different from western styles, so it takes awhile to understand the difference between the two. Janpanese ghost stories are more about the mood, while the American ghost stories are more about the scare.
Though it went flat during the middle, its still an interesting watch and help change your view on ghost stories.

Summary: The original Ju-On (itself a remake of a popular low-budget made-for-TV movie) took the Japanese horror film about as far as it could go in its current creepy form. It was a great movie, but was flawed on several counts: it was too long and the plot was confusing as it jumped backwards and forwards in time trying to create a moebius strip of terror.
Ju-On 2 begins with a famous Japanese actress Kyoko Harase (Noriko Sakai), known as the "Queen of Horror", driving home with her boyfriend, Masashi, after appearing on a chat show. They are discussing Kyoko's pregnancy when they hit something in the strangely deserted road. Masashi investigates and it's only a black cat. If you've seen the first movie, you'll know that creepy kid Toshio had a black cat, and sure enough his ghostly appearance causes the car to crash leaving Masashi in a coma and causing Kyoko to lose her unborn child.
As with the first movie, Ju-On 2 follows the main characters in their own vignettes as their contact with the haunted house in the Japanese suburbs causes them to die in supernatural ways. Luckily the plot is more focussed this time, even though it still moves forwards and backwards in time. It centres around a documentary being made about the haunted house, with the producer inviting Kyoko to make a guest appearance. One by one, the cast, crew and extras are picked off by the angry spirits of Toshio (Yuya Ozeki) and his mother Kayako (Takako Fuji).
Compared to the first movie, director Takashi Shimizu has learned some lessons about pacing and has produced a movie which is better in almost every respect. He's watched his Hideo Nakata (Ringu, Dark Water) for tips and hints on creating fear and his David Lynch (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive) for building tension with music cues.
Ju-On 2 is a more imaginatively surreal movie, with some darkly original visions, such as Kayako on a ceiling, hair spreading like wild ivy and twisting into deadly nooses. The audio effects are amazing with Kayako's croaky groan once again making your hair stand on end and your throat go dry.
Takashi has clearly progressed as a director and having produced a great movie, that was clearly a derivative of the current Japanese horror scene, has built on the formula with something more original and nightmarish.
Some rumour sites claimed that Ju-On 2 rehashed 40 minutes from the first movie, but all the footage is original and tightly integrated into the plot. Unlike the first movie, there is not an ounce of fat in Ju-On 2. It also leaves the door wide open for a Ju-On: The Grudge 3 with an intriguing ending. Let's hope Takashi Shimizu hurries up with with his Hollywood flirtation to see where he takes the franchise next.
