A classic staple of the J-horror wave of the 2000's Takashi Shimizu's JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2004) is one of the must-watch Japanese horror films, along with THE RING and BATTLE ROYALE.
Deep in the shadows of the attic of an ordinary family home in the Tokyo suburbs, something malevolent is stirring. When social worker Rika (Megumi Okina) is sent to check on a traumatised old lady whose family have moved in at the site of the notorious Saeki family murder case, she unwittingly unleashes a cycle of terror that is transmitted via its victims further and further from its original source.
