New 4K Trailer for Japanese Horror Classic 'Ju-On: The Grudge' Film

"Once you see it, you won't forget..." Arrow Video posted a new 4K re-release trailer for the J-horror classic Ju-On: The Grudge, the original film that kicked off this mega horror franchise. Made by horror maestro Takashi Shimizu, this first Ju-On: The Grudge Japanese ghost film first debuted in 2002 at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival – it didn't even open in Japan until early 2003. A mysterious & vengeful spirit marks and pursues anybody who dares enter the house in which it resides. Shimizu made one sequel after this one, then made the US remake The Grudge in 2004, which launched the franchise now at 13 films. Arrow Video is "proud to present a 4K restoration of the film that revitalised the Japanese horror boom of the turn of the millennium. Shimizu’s disconcerting approach to plotting, unnerving eye for the uncanny details in the dark corners of the frame and an innate talent for effective jump scares so impressed Evil Dead director Sam Raimi, that he invited the director to helm two Hollywood remakes." Ju-On stars Megumi Okina, Misa Uehara, Misaki Ito, and Yui Ichikawa. This is still as scary as ever! Even moreso in pristine 4K quality. // Continue Reading ›
