Many will have seen or heard of Japanese horror Ju-On, which was so scary it was voted as the scariest film in Japan, and spurned off a sequel and a Hollywood remake.
For those who are unfamiliar with the franchise, welcome!
Here’s the official synopsis:
Yui (Nozomi Sasaki) takes on responsibility as a form teacher for a 3rd year primary school class at very short notice. One of the pupils, Toshio Saeki, has been refusing to come to school for a while so she visits him at home. Since that day, inexplicable phenomena start to happen to her. The house turns out to be the “cursed house” where everyone who sets foot in the place dies in strange circumstances. Saeki family’s past gradually comes into the open. Strange cases unfold one after another. But Yui comes back to the house and enters, as if she is drawn in by the house. Is this happening due to the karma of those who died holding a strong grudge? What is the hidden secret of the “cursed house”.
Here’s the trailer:
Ju On 3: The Beginning Of The End opens 24 July 2014.
