Ju-on: The Grudge

Ju-on: The Grudge is a quintessential J-horror film designed to evoke intense Fear and pervasive Anxiety through its relentless, inescapable curse. The unsettling visuals and sounds of Kayako and Toshio contribute heavily to a deeply Disturbing atmosphere, punctuated by effective Surprise scares. The film's non-linear narrative and the grotesque nature of the vengeful spirits also elicit Disgust and a sense of Anticipation for the next horrifying encounter, while leaving audiences with a degree of Confusion regarding the curse's full scope.
