Riding the J-horror wave spawned by RINGU and AUDITION, JU-ON: THE GRUDGE is one of the key 2000s films from Japan that redefined horror’s cultural landscape. A social worker visits an elderly woman at her house. The woman appears deeply disturbed, but that’s nothing compared to the shapeless black void — also known as “Kayako” — that lurks in an upstairs hallway. Quiet, creepy, and with bursts of unexpected intensity, JU-ON: THE GRUDGE combines liminal spaces and creepypasta chills to rattle your skeleton. There’s nothing scarier than not knowing what’s scaring you.
