How much did this film scare you the first time you watched it???

The scariest one for me was when Kayako appeared under the blanket... like, c'mon... that was my final comfort zone and last line of defense! ( ; - ;)

The thing alot of people dont get is at the end where Kayako show Rika those flashbacks it was telling her "You will become like me. " thats why she had Rikas face. Thats why Kayako was covered in blood coming down the stairs. She was telling her this will be you.

I saw the American remake back in 2004, when I was literally a little kid in 3rd or 4th grade. It scared me so much, I looked like I was having a seizure (from shivering so much) by the time the last scene where Kayako crawls down the stairs showed up. I became fascinated with the films and ended up asking my dad to look for the originals, which we watched together. I think Ju-On will always be my favorite Japanese horror movie.

布団に潜ることすら許されない絶望感を与えた映画

And this is the main reason I got scared of the dark when I was young. Kayako and Toshio are just everywhere. Made me anxious when I woke up at night. Thank you, Ju-on. Good job giving the young me nightmares.

呪怨二度と見たくなかったのにリアクションが気になって見てしまったあ😭もう今日怖くて髪洗えない😂😂ヒィ

着信アリ (one missed call) is another good one. I grew up in Japan, and holy sh*t, the only way my friends and I could watch these was at slumber parties (aka strength in numbers).

Jack: "If you leave your foot out from under the duvet, the demon will get you" *smirks knowingly*

In my opinion the grunge was always better than The Ring. The bad feeling that leaves you every time that I do not spend with any other horror movie. The story makes me very sad and all the folklore behind the house is majestic. Destroy the only safe place from the monsters which is the bed hahaha and the panic of closing your eyes in the shower.

I know the scene with dozens of cats in her room was supposed to be scary, but I'd just be a delighted moron about it. "So many kitties! I must pet them all!"

I love this movie so much. To me, the one thing that really gets me in a horror movie and makes it stay in my mind is the atmosphere, and I can't really think of a movie that does atmosphere better than this one or its sequel, everything from the cinematography to the sound design works together to create an atmosphere of pure dread and isolation. It's brilliant.

Hide in the bed under a blanket, nope, she's in there with you. Hide in the closet, nope, the boy is in there. Calm yourself with cats, nope, demon cat. Close your eyes with your hands, nope, that's how you see them.

Fun fact. This movie isn't actually the first juon movie. I believe it's actually the 3rd. Also you guys should check out sadako vs kayako as well as dark waters, the Japanese one obviously

Fun-Fact: Some of the side-characters also died off-screen because the Ju-On movies are actually feature-length sequels to a couple of short films. The series acted to flesh out the short films' ideas, including the friends and family of the characters killed within them. The shorts are only a few minutes each and can be found on KZfaq, although not at the highest quality.

You better watch Ju-on 2, it’s even creepier and darker than the first one.

There really was a golden age of Japanese film making in the 90's. Great horror, action, splatter films. I'm very hopeful for Adult Swim making Uzumaki hiring the Japanese creator.

There was a Netflix show called Ju-On: Origins which was really cool if you know a bit of modern japanese history, because it took the idea of the house and had it set in different periods with the house working as a kind of vortex.

This movie came out when I was around 13y/o.. scared the shit out of me, but somehow still rewatch it about 3,4times coz I love it so much..and of course I watched them in day light, with my window close..

Ah, FINALLY someone had the cojones to watch the Japanese version. Kudos, brothers 🤘

Idk why I'm watching this video when this franchise is the cause of 90% of my childhood trauma. But I gotta see someone else suffer too :')

Ju-on: The Curse (February 11, 2000) Ju-on: The Curse 2 (March 25, 2000) Ju-on: The Grudge (2002) Ju-on: The Grudge 2 (2003) The Grudge (2004) The Grudge 2 (2006) The Grudge 3 (May 12, 2009) Ju-on: White Ghost (June 27, 2009) Ju-on: Black Ghost (June 27, 2009) Ju-on: The Beginning of the End (2014) Ju-on: The Final Curse (2015) Sadako vs. Kayako (2016) The Grudge (2020)

def this period was japans reign. they haven’t really been able to emulated this type of horror .. korea then had their era but the kings now are thai.. thai horror is next level

The scene when the guy try to burn the house is actually continuity from the first original juon (not shown voice only), where the three school girl is missing, and the girl he saw the first time with long hair is actually his own daughter who now is teenage, i know that makes no sense, because the house curse can slip time to people who have entered it.

If you enjoyed this and Ringu I would really recommend Kairo (Pulse). For me it is the best of this era of Japanese horror and is super atmospheric

I grew up with these horror characters ( Sadako from The Ring, Toshio and Kayako from Ju-on: The Grudge) starring in my dreams and imagination, it was really scary for me especially when we were just kids under 10 years old when we first watched it and it always come to mind when someone asked me what films I could recommend. Like I really I avoided watching TV alone for years, I will unplug it then ran to hide in the room and I can't handle the static of the TV because of the well. The originals are really memorable, and no offense but compared to the American films based on these stories, it never reaches the expectations I have when you have these original films haunting your sleep. It's like these films became the standard for me, even though American based was scary but it didn't reach the top scales. I already forgot the premise of the film, I mostly remember the horrifying characters. I was ok with that so it will not fuel my imagination more than it does, but I clicked this video small part because of nostalgia but more to see the appreciation you will have for them. I remember aside from these we watched Shutter from Thailand, some creepy stuffs from one missed call, The Eye and other films I can't remember the titles anymore. Thank you for being scared 😁 and appreciating these old films.

When I was a lad. My cousins and I were watching it but I wasn't really watching it. I was just laying down looking away from the screen but listening to the sounds while its blasting through the speakers. That door creaking sound is so iconic.

This and final destination are my childhood traumas

ah yes, another saturday night with you guys. ju-on and ringu is like big two of J-Horrors on early 2000s. they are the best, love them! thanks for the video~ XD

I was in my early twenties when this came out and I"m a horror JUNKIE. I've fallen asleep watching the Exorcist back in the day, I'm a bit desensitized. The TRAILER for this movie creeped me out! I can't watch this movie alone for some reason. After seeing it everyone knew I was a huge baby about it and a coworker of mine would call me from random phones all over the office and make the croaking gargling sound. It gives me chicken skin just typing this! lol

Ringu and The Grudge are masterpieces

Ju-on is my favourite ever horror movie, I can never get enough of it

Shutter the Thai movie scared the crap out of me, and it is probably one you havent seen even though there is an american remake and i would say its almost as good

I remember as a teen I watched all the grudges trying to get scared and I got bored. Then I was like “hey, I should watch the Japanese version I heard it’s scarier.” I was shook! The bed scene, that tv part messed me up for weeks I couldn’t stop watching that scene and kept getting goosebumps. I had to show it to all my friends like I loved this movie. As an American, I can say a lot of our horror movies over the past couple decades have been more for entertainment, not to scare the audience. Japan and Korea really know how chill an audience. You guys should check out this South Korean movie called “I saw the Devil” a sort of slasher, psychological revenge movie.

Oh that shot of her crawling down the stairs... Yeah still remember that scene after 10+ years since watching

Ju-on The Grudge 1and 2 both are terrifying, it got this atmospheric and the tension, and my favorite would be the soundtracks, because those adds up to the horror of the films....

There's Ringu Zero which is a prequel to Ringu which details the backstory of Sadako more

The asian horror scene is so full of great movies. If you really want to shock yourself with unique horror I just say "Takashi Mike". I enjoyed watching your reactions to this amazing and atmospheric movie. Thanks for this one.

you know its a great film with it makes you think its real the sound is there next to you, pulls you into it more

I watched this movie when i was around 10/11 and i had nightmares like for two weeks after, never had the same fear again for any movie after that, love the asian horror's films since then.

"Where's the cat in that picture? He's part of the family too" I NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD HAHHAHAHHA

"biggest crossover ever", well.... Actually... There is.....

23:15 I heard from an interview from Shimizu-san that in this scene, Kayako is pleading for help as if this would be the way to end the curse but instead Takeo appears to redo the curse.

Such a good horror movie...added bonus in this reaction: good drinking game, swig whenever Jack says "horrendous"...nice buzz, that (lofl)!

tale a shot everytime he says Horrendous

Have you seen Sadako vs Kayako? They made a movie where two girls watch the tape and then go to the JuOn house and both get double cursed. It is something to experience.

there’s a lot of the storyline you missed from Ju-On: The Curse (2000) and Ju-On: The Curse 2 (2000) since they are the very first films

This movie is classic and this is the movie that scared me the most when I was a kid. This is also the reason why I dont want stairs in our house 🤣🤣🤣

Audition would be a next great Japanese horror film to watch! 😁 It’s.. well I can’t ruin it for y’all but you have to experience it yourself!

now you done both ring and grudge, you 100% need to see the masterpiece that is Sadako vs. Kayako which is the ring vs the grudge and no i am not joking

There's something about american horror remakes that just don't quite hit the spot.....so glad you guys react to the original films! I'll watch this tomorrow, when the sun is bright and shining lol.

中学生の時、友達3人と私で 友達の家でコレを見ました。 友達の家のソファはどうやっても3人しか座れず、ジャンケンで負けた私はソファの横に置いたダイニングの椅子で見ました。 見てる間、ずっと左脇腹を誰かにつねられている感覚ですごく怖かったのを覚えています。

The best Asian movie series and best horror

I recommend: PULSE (KAIRO, 2001) by Kiyoshi Kurosawa Noroi: THE CURSE (2005) by Kôji Shiraishi

4:30 There's actually a crossover movie named Sadako vs Kayako, made in 2016

Great review guys .. came across your channel from your Raid reviews ...#subscribed .. great debrief analysis of the film .. this was the first Asian horror film I saw years ago and it does a great job in creating an overall unsettling atmosphere all the way through with some inventive scary scenes ... the director of this film actually directed the american remake which is quite rare hence why for me out of all the asian horror remakes (The Ring, Dark Water, The Eye, Pulse, Shutter, One Missed Call etc) I'd probably say The Grudge (2004) is the best American remake done ..... I would defo recommend 'A Tale Of Two Sisters' (also had an american remake made called 'The Uninvited') and 'Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum' .... 2 top Asian horror fims 👍also the 2 highest grossing horror films in South Korea 👍

Japenese and Korean horrors are the best. I used to watch a Korean program, with every episode 3 horror stories. I remember one, where a huge spider, with a woman's head, was chasing cars.

I love your dialect guys❤

Check out Noroi: The Curse. One of the best found footage films.

Ju-On 2 is scary, but I've never found 1 scary

Take a shot every time Jack says "Horrendous"

Look up the yūrei, a classic Japanese folklore tale. Kayako and Sadako are both yūrei, specifically onryō, or vengeful spirits.

the horror doesn't stop. ju-on 2 too. i've got nightmare for days

The scene that scared me the most was when the woman and little boy were stared at the man when he was in bed

The american remake was incredible and made me jump out of my seat in the theatre, but the original Ju-On is still way more creepier..I think it's about the more simple way that movie was made ( with probably a much lower budget) The strongest aspect of the original is its musical score...I recently got a copy of the Japanese score and it feels so more raw and scary than the big budget score of Christopher Young. It profes to me that budget isn't everything and the basic sound and feel of a movie can be done with the most basic technology. Thank you for reviewing this classic and still haunting Japanese movie; it belongs to my all time favorite movies

LOL, that awful noise Kayako makes is a death rattle. :) You're welcome.

"She's not in the house, it can't get her" The Grudge: *THINK AGAIN*

My friend and I decided to watch this back when Netflix was a service that delivered DVDs-- it had more Asian content in that format. We turned it on in my family's "computer room" (remember, old days). The DVD menu-- the MENU -- scared us so much we turned it off and watched South Park for an hour or so . Then we gathered ourselves to watch it 😱

You'll never hear vocal fries the same ever again. LOL!

There are many movies in the JU ON series. If you watch them in order, you will know what the whole movie is about. And your commentary is great😃

Always love these grudge movies and especially reactions to them lol. I'm more familiar with the American ones lol.

I think the sound effects scared me more than anything with this one (I read they made the noise with a comb!)

You should watch 着信アリ(Chakushin Ari) aka. One Missed Call. It’s another great Japanese horror movie.

the ring was eerier and more tragic, the grudge is definitely scarier

The original ones were honestly not very scary to me, the American remake really unnerved me. Maybe it’s because I watched that one first.

Lovely reaction! Lol. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

the japanese have nailed pure horror. ill never forget when i was 20, i got this film for xmas and i was hallucinating from alcohol poisoning. it was terrifying. subbed ^_^

Guys if you liked these two films I highly recommend a Japanese horror film called "Noroi: The Curse" (2005). It is a classic, but unlike The Ring it remained a cult film within Japan. I think it is even better than these two others!

This is the most scared film with ghosts than i saw in my fucking life 😱😱🤘. One masterpiece of terror. 95/100

It's been years since I saw this version and I completely forgot English version split it into two movies.

Would you guys consider reacting to the movies The Others starring Nicole Kidman and The Skeleton Key starring Kate Hudson, both really great horror/thriller movies

got trauma on this movie when I was a kid, n still cant watch this movie alone :(

You both know that the director of The Grudge (2004) and Ju-On have the same director? He’s done a lot of Ju-On movies (most were direct to video) with Ju-On: The Grudge being the first theatrical movie in the series.

i knew this movie like 15yrs for me Even i can see real life ghost still never try to watch JU-ON by myself I watch holywood jump scare horror movie never get scare I very like classic mind horror You won't get jump scare but you will feel that simple creepy . When I close eyes wash my head or sleep always think if someone just stand by myside These in your life very normal thing just bring to the so fking creepy . Thx reaction xD

This was the one I saw on mtv asian night waaaaay back. Shit felt like a fever dream. Surreal to my childmind.

YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH SHUTTER! :) LET US SEE THE REACTION

Scariest movie from the early 2000's. Japanese ghost stories are so much creepier than the western ones, I don't know why.

This is one of my favourite Jhorror movies. I also love chakushin ari 着信アリ (one missed call). Please, rect to this one too!

I remember watching this when I was young with the whole family members, still too scary! Especially the blanket...

I have seen this one several times but it still scares me everytime. If you want to react to another movie similar to Ju-on and Ringu in style check out One missed call. Of course the japanese version.

"biggest anime crossover ever" lol about that..

This movie traumatized my childhood.

I Love Ju-On series... Plz 🙏🏼 watch Sadako vs Kayako.

“It’s horrendous” !

You should watch I saw the devil from Korean it’s about revenge and won’t let you down because that it’s a great film

I remember the last part of The Ring movie in japan, it turns out the love story of sadako and not a horror one.

You look so much like Errol Flynn to me Will, you know he was Captain Blood and Robin Hood. Espeically wit the mustache.

That is horrendous!

Thank you.
