I feel like this film is the epitome of scariness. When "The Grudge" came out in the U.S., I didn't know anything about Ju-on, I just knew that The Grudge was typical non-scary crap film-making at its most bland. Because of this, it was a few years before I sat down to watch Ju-On. When I finally did, I was scared...
This is saying a lot, because as someone who has searched hardcore for a scary movie, I've come up empty-handed. As far as I know, Ju-On is the only scary movie! The only thing that gives me terror on any scale in the same ballpark as Ju-On is the Silent Hill game series (except for 4). I highly recommend that everyone here (who hasn't already seen it) go sit in a dark room with headphones or a good sound system, all alone, and watch it!
