In this eerie tale, a family who is brutally killed in their own home leaves behind an evil spirit lurking in the shadows. When an unknowking homecare worker enters, the spirit is awaikened and a terrifying chain of events begins! DVD features include commentary by director Sam Raimi, documentary, featurette, 4 cast interviews, director interview, behind-the-scenes, outtake footage, and alternate ending. This DVD is R rated and Dolby Digital. Among the scariest movies ever put on celluloid, like its similarly styled sister, RINGU, this tale of death-by-curse is nothing short of blood chilling. With chapters named after each subsequent victim, it plays like a series of increasingly daunting, deadly vignettes. All of the stories surround a haunted house where the evil spirit of a 5-year-old boy still lurks. The first to enter the residence and be cursed is a young hospice worker visiting an elderly client. She finds the boy duct-taped in a closet, where he first appears to her in the form of a black cat, and then shows his human form which is a shockingly ghoulish white face and blackened eyes. Invisible to all except for those who are next to die, his presence seems like a true mystery. But when family members, friends, curious teenagers, and frightened police investigators begin to drop like flies, it is clear that his spirit thrives. Perhaps it is the unsolvable problem of the boy's vengeance that makes the premise so terrifying--his anger and his penalty cannot be curbed. But unforgettable scenes, such as the boy's very dead mother crawling serpentinely down the stairway, deserve the lion's share of the credit for the fearfulness of the film. What's more, the percussive, electronic score by Shiro Sato is spine-tingling. From Japanese director Takeshi Shimizu, whose RINGU was so successful that it received both prequels and sequels--and an American remake, THE RING, with Naomi Watts--fans should not miss this extraordinary fright-fest. Ju-On: The Grudge Reviews: "JU-ON: THE GRUDGE hits all the right horror buttons....The palette of cold blues and white is particularly effective."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of the best.
After watching Ju-on a second time with the commentary track, and then viewing the American re-make, I came to the conclusion that, not only is it superior, it is one of the finest horror flicks ever.
It has flaws. For instance, some of the bits involving the school girls could have been edited out or altered, perhaps the entire sub-plot. Some tweaking and cutting may have made it an even better experience.
Americans who have become desensitized due to watching countless lame movies in which the emphasis is more on violence and natural human reflex, rather than actual "horror", may not be able to appreciate what Shimizu has achieved here, particularly in the scenes which work best. Those who can approach this movie with an open mind, and who can try to forget all the hundreds of times that they've had their heart jump from seeing some chain-saw/knife weilding killer jump from a closet and basically perform the cinematic version of jumping from a closet and yelling "boo!", may well find that they have stumbled upon one of the very best in this "genre".
Besides, there are certain scenes in Ju-on, brilliant scenes, which were completely left out, or done far less effectively, in the American re-make!
Watch this movie late at night, all alone. Afterwards, venture up into your attic without a light. Go ahead, there's nothing up there.

Peter Jackson, master of subversive comedy, presents the story of a hapless young man whose overbearing mother gets him into a heap of trouble when she catches a bizarre zombie virus and starts turning innocent passersby into walking corpses. This grandiose splatterfest features loads of unforgettable, stomach-turning effects. Highlights include a ghoulish, bloodthirsty baby, zombie mutilation, progressive putrefaction, and an off-the-wall undead mating scene. Sick, twisted, and hilarious, DEAD ALIVE is unlike anything you have ever seen before--and is definitely not for the squeamish.
