I started watching Ju-On tonight on Showtime. I didn’t see the beginning, and at first thought it was kind of weird. Downright weird I should say. It was difficult to follow at first because it was in Japanese with English subtitles.
Well.
Once I caught on and got a clue, I discovered I was scared out of my wits. Ju-On was a good movie, and it kept me on the edge of my seat right to the end! It did jump around a bit, so if one is going to watch it, it’s best not to have any distractions, no kids running around screaming, no SO to talk yer ear off…
Ju-On will be on again on Showtime on September 30, at 12:45 am. I plan on watching it from the beginning. With the lights off, of course.
There is an American remake of this movie, set in Japan, called The Grudge, made in 2004. I’ll have to get this one too, although I’ve seen the trailers and wasn’t overwhelmed with a desire to see it at the time.
Now I’ll have to.
