Have you seen this boy? If you have, I am sorry to tell you that you are not long for this world. Ya see there is this jealous ghost out there that will kill anyone that has seen him.
Last night I watched Ju-on, the Japanese thriller that has finally hit these shores.. I watched the original Japanese version in Japanese with English subtitles. I was at Best Buy, earlier, and I couldn't resist picking it up. The story revolves around a jealous ghost of a husband and the ghosts of his family members that what to escape their captor, but can't and their interaction with the outside world of visitors, which is why if you have seen Toshio's ghost, say your prayers..

“JU-ON: a curse born of a grudge held by someone who dies in the grip of powerful anger. It gathers in the places frequented by that person in life, working its spell on those who come into contact with it and thus creating itself anew.”

Over all I give this movie a B+/A. Not gorey at all, but sure is scary.

A Snipet Review:

A bluing hand brushes your naked skin as you stand beneath the shower. A glimpse of something in the corner of your eye - is it only a reflection in the window pane, or something more tangible? A nightmare in which your bed swarms with black cats as you lie there half-sleeping. A teenage schoolgirl blocks the windows of her room with shreds of newspaper to shield her from the hollow-eyed apparitions that stare in from the darkness outside. In the heart of a deserted house sealed up in duct tape, an old woman gazes blindly into space, her face frozen by fear into an inscrutable mask. Skulking deep in the shadows of the attic crawlspace, caught in a limbo between light and darkness, something evil is stirring.
