#13 - Ju-On (The Grudge) (2002) Review



Ju-On (The Grudge) (2002), Takashi Shimizu
0.5/5

This J-Horror isn't in the least bit scary, unless you're scared of children painted white, close up shots of eyes, people staring out of windows or the sound of frogs. About the only thing going for this film is the cinematography, with it's low to the ground tracking shots, abrupt cuts to close ups and swivelling shots, that make the editing at least unsettling. However, that can't be said for the imagery or subject matter of the film itself. The "plot" is not very interesting and builds absolutely no tension, with it's repetitive nature.
