Unlike many of the "reviews" below, I'm not going to take cheap shots at those who might not like Ju-On.
I will say, however, that any fan of supernatural horror owes it to themselves to decide on this one for themselves.
I wholeheartedly agree with those who found this film almost uncomfortable to watch. If you are one of those whom this film really gets to, it is an experience as powerful as Ringu, Dark Water or the Exorcist. Scary, scary, stuff.
