When a woman was brutally murdered by her husband in her house, she placed a Ju-on, or "curse grudge," on the home. Now anyone who enters the building is doomed to face a horrible death. At least, that's the urban legend that a television crew is investigating. But TV host Tomoka Miura and actress Kyoko Harase soon discover that the story isn't just a legend. They're being haunted by a terrifying child-like ghost, and everyone on the crew is turning up dead.

Critics Consensus

The film grows more repetitive as it goes on, and as a result, the scares lessen.

The truly frightening thought is how long this franchise, like the curse itself, can continue to be reborn.

If you are new to horror that places atmosphere and psychological intensity over gore, Ju-On is a good place to start.

It's creepy, all right. It's just that how it goes about creeping you out is sometimes just plain cheesy.

... a film that, perhaps better than any other ever made, conveys the disturbing sense of the uncanny -- of fear that goes beyond reason or explanation ...

Alot better then the remake

Agghiacciante e molto intrigante! Lo stile di recitazione è un po' stereotipato, ma ci si può sorvolare. Comunque, in fatto di horror, il Giappone non delude mai!
