Ju-on: The Curse (Japan, 2000)

It is the story of Takeo, a man who killed his wife, and his son Toshio, in a jealous rage. Then Toshio's teacher, Kobayashi, looks for him because he has not been in school. He slowly discovers the horror that has taken place. 


Ju-on is one of very few horror films that mostly takes place in daylight. It isn't long either, clocking in at barely over an hour. But, despite those facts, it's one of the most horrifying films of it's time. It started a tidal wave of sequels wich are all fantastic horror films (except the american versions, of course).  The Japanese Ju-on series:

Ju-on: The Curse
Ju-on: The Curse 2
Ju-on: The Grudge
Ju-on: The Grudge 2
