162. Ju-on: The grudge (2002)


Country: Japan
Directed by Takashi Shimizu

I am not a big fan of J-horror as it's been established the last 20 years with specific commercial characteristics and international audience.  However, I like and appreciate , even if they are far from to be masterpieces, a hand full of movies from this period. Ju-on is one of them and if you watch it probably you will understand why: beyond of any analysis Ju-on is really scary to watch. It creates a creepy atmosphere of psychological fear that obliges the viewer to feel insecure, uncomfortable and scared even if he is not sure what is this that make him feel that way. The plot often is complicated , without much sense and absurd: this is make the movie more weird and scary because is not a typical predictable film and the viewer doesn't know what to expect next. Somehow, is an inner archaic fear the one that is evoked when you watch the Ju-on: The grudge film. Even if not much violence is depicted the film still seems brutal. It's for sure an interesting movie to watch
