Over at Alex on Film I’ve been watching some (but far from all) of the Ju-on or Grudge films, both from the Japanese and American franchises. Along the way I muse a bit about the whole J-horror phenomenon. Is it over now? Did it ever amount to much? What was its significance?
Here’s the line-up:
Katasumi (1998)
4444444444 (1998)
Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)
The Grudge (2004)
The Grudge (2020)
