I really love to watch ghost movies especially from the east; japan, korea, etc. One of my favourites is Ju-on. The movies were really famous that the make sequel and the west adaptation - The Grudge. What is Ju-on about? Well its pretty much about a curse. A husband killed his wife, kid and a cat ( collateral damage here) because he found out that his wife had a feeling with other guy. Yep, she didn't cheat on him yet, just she had a crush with a married school teacher that she wrote in her diary which was found out by her husband. He went berserk and killed his wife and child on the spot. Then, he went to the school teacher apartment and killed the teacher's wife who is pregnant at the moment. Pretty brutal, wonder where she find this kind of husband.
Anyway, unfortunately for the murderer husband, his wife is not a normal woman. The japanese version didn't told the origin of the wife but in US version the showed us. The wife is some kind of miko (an exorcise) where her mother put all the evil spirit stored inside her. If she died peacefully which means natural death then there is no problem. But, if she died with regret, anger such as murdered, then the evil spirit stored inside of her will possessed her and went to killing spree. That is what is call Ju-on. And the curse is so strong that anyone come with contact with the curse, in this case, is the house where she was killed, will also become cursed and joined the crowd. So, its kind of unlimited chain of event or infinite loops that kill everyone.
So, the story is pretty much is ghosts killed/kidnapped with godly power; control time, pass through television, teleport, time traveller and invincible. You pretty much finished when Ju-on chased you. Might as well give up and joined the crowd. Its pretty entertaining for me but maybe someone have different taste from me. Here is some of the video. Who know, you might enjoy it.
