Ju-on: White Ghost (Japan, 2009)

At a certain house, a father brutally and methodically murders all five of his family members, before hanging himself. Years later,  every person who comes in contact with the house is being haunted by the victims ghosts. 

As part of a tenth year anniversary of the Ju-on series, White Ghost (a.k.a. Old Lady In White) was released together with Ju-on: Black Ghost. In my opinion, White Ghost is the better one. Every scene with the old lady is terrifying, and that throat sound is just as haunting as ever.

Genre: Horror

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

Genre: Horror
