Audience Reviews for Ju-on: The Grudge

  • Aug 15, 2014
    Despite its fragmented, diffuse structure and obvious lack of a narrative center, this competent Japanese horror movie manages to create an oppressive atmosphere with an intriguing mystery that can be pretty disturbing sometimes, even if some of it also falls flat.
    Carlos M Super Reviewer

    Arguably one of the scariest J-Horror movies ever made. While it's light on story, it works almost completely on a visceral level. The images are just downright creepy.

    It's structured way more complicated than it need to be, especially because it jumps back and forth through time between every sequence and it's frequently unclear when events take place, and it only has a few moments that are genuinely scary, but Ju-on is still a decent Japanese scary movie with a creepy vibe to it, even if it does seem a little weak when compared to masterful Japanese horror movies like Ringu and Audition.

    This was so boring. Inventive and innovative on the style of scares it delivers, but I DIDN'T get scared.
