Rethinking Juon
While I was doing some research on the 'net about Juon, I found this site and learned that there are really 4 different versions. Well 5 really if you count the recently released American version. I guess the director need to keep working on his vision before it was prefected.
What I like about the Japanese version is that there isn't the gore found in American horror films or cheesey CGI. All of the terror is left to the viewer's imagination and this is what I feel makes this movies so scary....
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh............

Hey Dave (aka fellow Gorey fan)
You left a post on my site about Edward Gorey, he is totally amazing! Such a strange mind?
I have not yet seen Ju-on but have seen the American version, the Grudge. The Japanese really know how to put the horror in horror movie. Very much like Hitchcock. Movies are so much better without all the gore, they are so cliche!
I agree about the gore factor issue. Not knowing is what's really scary. I haven't seen the Japanese version of The Ring, but I heard it makes the American version look like a nursery rhyme.
