This is one very creepy film, with a constantly menacing tone.
Sadly though I would agree with many of the previous comments, the plot has far too many holes & inconsistencies. Why were our original victims killed & why are they now angry ghosts seeking vengence against anyone who stumbles into their home?
Horror films are renowned for their plotholes, but this just has too many for it's own good.
Despite the lack of a coherent storyline, Ju-on: The Grudge succeeds where horror films need to, in the fright department. Ju-on: The Grudge will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Good horror from Japan, where the best horror of recent years has come from. 6/10
