JU-ON (THE CURSE)


Ju-On is a 2000 Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Shimizu. The movie stars Yūrei Yanagi, Chiaki Kuriyama, Hitomi Miwa, Takako Fuji, and Takashi Matsuyama.

Ju-on follows the lives of the people connected to the house in Nerima where the gruesome murder of a housewife occurred due to the jealousy of her husband as she loved another man. School teacher Shunsuke Kobayashi visits the house of his absent student, Toshio. Soon as the teacher enters the home, he discovers that Toshio is in no a really good state. He waits for Toshio's parents to come but nobody arrives; it finally becomes too late when he realizes what the Saeki family has become and not even Kobayashi's wife make it out alive. The movie also explores the fates of the next family to live in the house. This timeline of the film also extends the stories of Tsuyoshi and Kanna from Gakkō no kaidan G. The last timeline shows a snippet of Suzuki Kyoko's experience, a psychic invited by her brother to look into the house that he was going to sell, which was the cursed Saeki house. This V-cinema movie showed death as the cursed's manifestation.
