This is the 1st of 2 movies to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Grudge franchise. It revolves around a family massacre that happened due to a son failing his bar exams. He’s very creepy especially when he tries to molest his little sister and provides a couple of shocking moments. The story jumps from the past to the present and it never explains properly who was under the grudge. There’s nothing to link this with the previous Grudge movies apart from a fleeting appearance from Toshio. Bad acting apart, this was a nice little chiller which was fairly scary although it can never live up to the 1st Grudge movie. It’s a shame it was so short at 60 mins, I wanted more.
This is the trailer for both Ju-On movies that came out in 2009.
