Review of Ju-on: The Grudge (2002) by Jordan S — 08 Mar 2013

For years I had heard that this original version was much better than the American version, so I was excited to finally watch it... and I was horribly disappointed. Not only is the American version much more effectively scary, it's also just an all-around better-made film.

This one is disjointed and really plays more like a series of shorts than like a film, and I really didn't care about any of the characters. Usually I love Asian horror movies, but this one fell far short of my expectations.
