Ju-on: The Grudge (The Grudge)

Ju-on: The Grudge (2003)
Dir: Takashi Shimizu

A vengeful spirit pursues anybody who enters the house in which it resides.
Chilling horror film that is relentless in it's attempts to scare. The story is simple and the acting is fairly decent, but where the film really excels is in the quality of the shocks. The atmosphere is great throughout and the spooky imagery leaves a lasting impression. A solid effort that rises above a confusing story.
