Ju-on - The Grudge - White And Black Ghost [DVD] [2009]

The stories are creepy. First and foremost I guess that what matters in a horror movie. This takes several different experiences of different people with their own Ju-on ghost. It wasn't clear that's what it was at first which was a little confusing when the stories would change suddenly and in the end I think they try to intertwine at least a couple of the stories but it was a little confusing after just one watch. Probably after a few viewings it would be clearer, which is something I've found with some Japanese horrors.It's sort of obvious that they used some kind of mask to make each and every ghost look like the classic Grudge lady ghost with a little bit of wrinkles? they look like. The same but different. That ruined it a little for me but not enough to not make this creepy. The classic Grudge noise is back and just as foreboding as ever. The quality of the movie seems like it was a TV movie or something but, it's the acting that makes this good and the Japanese can act horror.I would recommend getting this if you're willing to watch it a few times and if you can get it cheap. I don't think it's worth paying a lot of money for but it's certainly worth a look.

A simple fusion. Both a ghost story and a slasher, with very little sfx and a basic story. It's predictable, but strangely engaging. The movie explains itself first, how sometimes someone can die with such hate and anger that a powerful curse is born. All who encounter this curse are doomed. It's that simple.Best watched alone. Only an hour long, with some real suspense and a creepy atmosphere along with a few jump scares.

When I first heard they were making another Ju On movie to mark the 10 year anniversary, I have to admit, I thought it would be bad. Then I realised they were making 2 movies, which honestly, sounded just terrible.I bought it to give it a go and I was very pleasently surprised. While obviously its not superior to the original, its still a nicely told and polished production. Each movie is an hour long but there are still plenty of shocks and suspense to keep you watching. This Is why I prefer Asian Horror to Hollywood, you don't need tonnes of blood to make a good movie.White Ghost just edges out Black Ghost for me as the storyline is more hard hitting but Black Ghost appears to be more faithful to the original Ju On.If you're still wondering whether to buy it or not, I say just buy it. It's only a fiver!!

This was not what I was expecting, to slow and relied on the name of other films that are far superior. Creaking, grasping voices do not make a horror. Found myself expecting a film like the grudge, the ring and was let down. Dissapointed.

Ok I am watching White Ghost as I am typing this and I have jumped about 4 times. It is SERIOUSLY jumpy! So far, the story line is actually ok, is linking quite well with the original Ju-On's but not too much to make it part of the sequel.I like actually. I like a lot!Terrifying though, don't watch alone at night!

Great suspense and atmosphere; a number of creepy moments, but no jump-scares that I noticed. I like Japanese horror, certainly in preferance to many of Hollywood's laughable attempts.

THANKS

This is a good solid unsettling supernatural horror. What starts out as a series of individual sinister vignettes soon prove to be connected in the darkest and most frightening of ways
