Ju On: The Grudge 4K UltraHD
"Ju-On": the name given to a deadly curse spawned when someone dies in the grip of a violent rage. All who come into contact with it are doomed...
Deep in the shadows of the attic of an ordinary family home in the Tokyo suburbs, something malevolent is stirring. When social worker Rika (Megumi Okina) is sent to check on a traumatised old lady whose family have moved in at the site of the notorious Saeki family murder case, she unwittingly unleashes a cycle of terror that is transmitted via its victims further and further from its original source.
Arrow Video is proud to present a 4K restoration of the film that revitalised the Japanese horror boom of the turn of the millennium. Writer-director Takashi Shimizu's disconcerting approach to plotting, unnerving eye for the uncanny details in the dark corners of the frame and an innate talent for effective jump scares so impressed Evil Dead director Sam Raimi that he invited the director to helm two Hollywood remakes.
