Directed by: Takashi Shimizu (JU-ON, JU-ON 2, THE GRUDGE)
Written by: Takashi Shimizu
Cast: Megumi Okina, Misa Uehara, Misaki Ito, Yui Ichikawa, Kanji Tsuda
Release date: July 23, 2004 (limited)
Plot outline: A volunteer home care worker, Nishina Rika (Megumi Okina), enters the home of a bed-ridden patient and discovers a strange ghostly presence lurking behind a door sealed with duct tape. Her discovery unleashes a horrible evil which baffles police investigators, who find that a whole series of people have gone missing from this particular house. Further investigation leads to Izutni Toyama (Misa Uehara), a former detective who handled the case of a man who murdered his wife in the house, but whose son was never found. But when the angry "Ju-On" spirit of vengeance that has infected the house reaches beyond its boundaries to kill Toyama and his daughter, Rika realizes that the horror is spreading. Worse, unless something is done about it, she feels she may become the angry spirit's next victim!

The original JU-ON was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen and I've been wanting to see this remake ever since I saw the (creepy) trailer a year and a half ago, and I'm glad to see that it's getting a limited release (though it also has been available on region 3 DVD's for a while now). Those anticipating the upcoming remake starring Sarah Michelle Gellar might also want to check this out.

The (Americanized) Grudge starring the almighty SMG is one of my most anticipated films in the latter half of 2004. I do want to see this movie, but I want to be a virgin of the Gurdge story when I it see SMG's version.

Please don't. I beg of you to not do that.

I didn't like the original Ju-On and favoured this version more. it's good and i insist you watch it. 8/10 for me.
