Plot: It is said that the owner of a now empty house murdered his wife before committing suicide. Their six-year-old son was never found after the incident. The angry and violent spirit of the dead wife spreads throughout the house, and infects it with her vengeance, and plagues the life of anyone who enters the house. Nishina Rika is a volunteer home-care worker, who comes to the house and discovers a mysterious boy, who suddenly disappears. Nishina soon finds that she has become cursed by the house, and her relatives are quickly dying one by one. She must figure out a way to stop the killings before her own life is cut tragically short. A volunteer home-care worker, Nishina Rika, comes to call on a house occupied by a bed-ridden old lady, Tokunaga Sachie. There is a strange atmosphere in the house and Sachie is obviously terrified of something. On the second floor Rika finds a closet shut with duct tape, in which hides a boy holding a black cat. Startled, she asks the boy's name, and he answers 'Toshio'. Rika sees an angry spirit and faints while Sachie dies, raving in terror. Several days earlier . . . Sachie's son Katsuya returns home from work to find his wife Kazumi collapsed in their bedroom, unresponsive. Sensing something behind him, he turns to see a boy with pure-white

 makes zero sense and basically repeats itself for an hour and half. However, the goal of a horror film is to make the audience uneasy and afraid; and Ju-On comes through with spades in that department. In the end, I do recommend checking it out if only to see that I haven't turned into a preteen girl and that it is indeed creepier than hell. Just don't expect it to be coherant along the way.--Mike Skinner (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Slightly better than the original, but only in terms of scares. A little overhyped with all the claims that it's a really scary flick, but it does have a lot of creepy moments. Pretty much a different story than the original, so you don't necessarily need to see the first movies to understand this one. Worth a check, but I'd recommend viewing the first two movies before seeing this anyway to get a feel for the series. 7/10-- (UHM)

"Ju-on," like genre faves "Ringu" and "The Eye," is best experienced in a dank basement with a few friends or a significant other. Or better yet, by yourself. Even the most experienced fright-fan will find her/himself driving to the corner store, or heading over to a friends house after viewing "Ju-on," just to try to get some of the final images and sounds eliminated from their battered psyche.  -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
