Frelling annoying site
huh?
SInce I don't have quicktime installed on this browser, I went to the main site (http://www.cine-tre.com/ju-on/ ) to try to find out about the movie. The main site keeps popping up a page that I guess is like a menu page, but it also had a 'Enter' link on it. When I clicked it, it popped up a new page that looked a lot like the 'popup' page (thet kept popping up every time I closed it). So I couldn't tell how the site was intending me to find any informaiton.
Also, everything was in a foreign language (Japanese?), except the "Enter" link and a graphic that said "Info" that was not useful
ah... sorry bout that.. yes, i should have mentioned that this is a jap flick... the site is in jap... still the trailer looks cool...
It is a series, in fact. Ju-on and Ju-on2 were showing in the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany this summer. This is what the programma had to say about it:
JU-ON is a curse born of a grudge held by someone who has died in powerful anger. It gathers in places frequented by such a person during his lifetime and will work its spell on all those who come into contact with it. â€" It looks like a normal, everyday house, but the atmosphere about it is anything but. Something happened here once… even now there is a loathsome air of stagnation, a terror here born of a spirit that possesses this place. The various supernatural experiences undergone by the different owners of the house, unaware of the horrible events that have taken place here, reach across time, and the true form of the terrifying, invisible ‘Ju-On’ that nests in this house becomes clear. It is no exaggeration to say that this crazed mixture of terror and excitement makes for the greatest film shock since Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and Sam Raimi’s THE EVIL DEAD. JU-ON is, literally, horror entertainment in its most transcendent, absolutely ultimate form.
