- "...Ju-On is one of the most frightening films I've ever seen. Shimizu crafted some of the most unique onscreen scares in his Japanese version. He was relentless in his delivery, leaving you no time to catch your breath..."

  I found this unconvincing and not at all scary. The acting is poor, the 'special' effects are just that, effects, and they made me laugh. The whole ... read more »
