Big in Japan! Having read a really terrible review of this modern classic, I feel forced to draw yet another picture of this quite unknown film. I have seen many horror films in the past years, and as far as I remember the only one worth remembering was the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This was until I sat down in a Spanish cinema and watched Ju-On. I was disappointed of the far overrated Cabin Fever and decided I should have on more go. I didn't know anything about this movie - and anyone who saw this one in cinema will understand when I write - that it took me completely by storm. Guys around me started chatting or making stupid jokes, when the real horror began, but this is just the usual reaction of local heroes proving how masculine they are to their 14 year old girlfriends. It may be true, that it's quite difficult to follow the storyline (is there any?), or not to confuse the characters (sorry, but to me all japanese look the same, except Mr. Myagi) but one that's for sure is, that I never ever felt so much real fear caused by a movie in my whole life. This one isn't about cheap booo!-moments, what you get here is nothing but sheer terror, and this is what so many horror fans waited for so desperately. OK - Local heroes around the world, gather your girls and nerves and prove that YOU are the man, because this is just the picture for it.
