JUON (The Grudge):The Next Ringu?

I discovered a new Japanese horror film entitled JUON (The Grudge) while surfing, and some are seeing it as yet another big, scary hit from the land of the Rising Sun. In the same way that Ringu became a box office hit in the US and here in Manila, JUON may follow suit. The Japanese just do horror so differently; blood and gore aren't what's plastered into the films. It's all about atmosphere, music, a pervading feeling of dread and the audacity to strike at us in situations which we would usually feel safe in. Unnatural things, supernatural things. Things that zip by in the corner of your eye. That's how the Japanese are scaring the pantaloons out of everyone else in the world. JUON is all about a curse; a haunted house filled with evil and hate. And it's all about creepy spirits that appear when you least expect it... and even if you do expect them, it will still scare you. SHEESH. I showed some officemates the JUON trailer and the girls were screaming like banshees. I wonder when, if ever, this flick will make it here?
Sporting the same writer as Ringu, JUON just may be the next big horror hit. Will Japanese horror movies sweep over the world like anime did? Who knows.

Anyway, if you want a creepy peek at the scary movie JUON, click here to visit the official website that's loaded with trailers, images and other stuff. (You WILL have to navigate through some kanji though. Just explore.)
Just don't be surprised if you see something peeking back...
