SPOILERS*****************
Contains plot elements from all 4 Ju-on films
Scariest bits from the scariest horror franchise ever ?
Ok, actually these more just give me an evil grin when I see them, then I get more freaked out a few days later if I'm alone in the house at night with my over active brainfrom all 4 Ju-Ons- 3rd Hand on hair in shower ! I don't know exactly why this really freaked memaybe it's that "Psycho" fear of being attacked while wet and naked ? Horrible anyway. But brilliant.
- girl with no jaw ! Slightly iffy CGI makes it weirdly even more awful and creepy. Also, I'm a sucker for that twitchy insect walking thing common in this kind of thing, done best by the good lady Sadako in Ring 0.
- Catboy's eyes the first time he does the meow thing in Ju-on 1 (tv movie). Just a bit too wide. Shudder. Not as terrifying as screamy girl in the otherwise inferior Phone, but can still outfreak Regan and Damien in the "i'm REALLY glad that isn't my offspring" category.
- Spiderwalk scene from the movie version. Ok it's a nick from the Exorcist, but when that horrible head and arm creak around the corner you really know it's an excellent time to invest in a lift. Which catboy will stare at you from. On every floor.
- Preggers bit from Ju-on 2. I knew that was gonna happen but it was still Aliens / Thing tastic. I think Ju-on works so well as it plays on the human fear of being invaded in a place that you associate with safetyat home, in bed, in the shower, etc. And the most intimate place is of course inside your body. As Chris De Burgh said of his recent chestburster purchase "for me, it's a primal horror". And He'd knowhe's been inflicting primal horror on the record buying public for the last 20 years.
I haven't put anything from Juon 2 (tv movie) as I'm knarked at it for pointlessly including half of the first film. But again there are some quality spiderwalk runny bits in the school scene.

I remember 2 scenes that made me and my (2)brothers get really scared:
possible SPOILERS and yadda yadda
1.- the scene from the 1st TV movie where kobayashi is leaning on the door, trying to get away from the girl crawling from the stairs, and the dead spouse pops her head in the open space and leans towards him with that goddamn awful look, and inmediatly the moment where I really got scared was when she pushed down her face on to him. haha man , in that split second I felt like I was the one beneath her man I felt that face getting so agressively close to me haha, (my brothers and)I just pulled away!. I liked that very much, the music and tension built up helped a hell a lot for that scene.
2.- the other scene I recall was the pull of the feet one from the 1st theatrical movie the grudge, the part where she`s in bed and the damn thing just inflates haha and a simple pull, and right after we get the shock goodness
me liked simple yet clean.
And the most personal annoying part is from the 1st tv movie the whole scene where the girl is waiting for the teacherto come back, who was gonna find her boyfriend. ANSWER THAT DAMN PHONE!!!! man I hate the phone when it keeps on ringing it gets on my nerve!!! -

Creepiest Scenes by far (havent seen either theatrical ones yet)
1st TV movie - When the girl (forget her name) is waiting in her friends room and she hears that clicking noise the wife/ghost always makes, and she goes to investigate the crawlspace, and you know what happens after that!! Damn that was really freaky!
2nd TV Movie - When the Detective burns the photo in the police station, because he doesn't want to have anything to do with the case anymore, and he walks into his office ONLY TO BE FOLLOWED by the Wife/Ghost!!!!!!
Also when the teacher is visiting the house and the lady that got possessed and killed her husband with the frying pan, puts her down while teh teacher looks through the kids drawings, only to have the lady crawl up to him with her head still down!
Actually there were a lot of really freaky scenes in this film that stuck with me for days and days after watching it! -

My favorite scene in the original V-Cinema version has to be after Toshio meows and we cut outside. Right before we cut to black you can see Kayako in the upper story window. Plus the jaw scene.
In the 2nd tv version it has to be the pictures on the wall changing from normal people to just Kayako.
In the first theatrical versionit has to be during Izumi's chapter when she's crawling away from her friends and Kayako emerges from the shrine.
The Grudge 2: The whole movie. But to be specific, it has to be the entire Nori Chapter. thumpthumpthump -

Jaw scene, jaw scene, jaw scene. It wasn't just when she turned around for the reveal, but the way she was walking up the stairs like a badly manipulated string puppetonly manipulated by death.
Wow! Best body acting in a movie since Rie Inou's chilling performance in the finale of Ringu.

I'm a very jaded horror movie freak, having seen everything there was to see for around twenty years, but I'm not ashamed to admit "The grudge" (US version, the Japanese one are not available in any form here grrrr !) scared me like no other did in a very long time. Of course, it was not always logic and there were holes, but nonetheless, it worked like hell ! From what I read here, it seems to be a compilation of scenes from the original movies, right ? Seems they are even scarier !
In the remake, I like the fact that the ghost was really a primal, unstoppable force that could get you No Matter what (Okay, what did it do with its victims ?), and the fact that the Western characters seemed perfectly adapted to Japanese culture and even spoke the language. No "Lost in translation" here ! -

To be honest this movie really didn't scare me. I'm very easily frightened and freaked out but this movie was just average in that dept. Sure I was tense most of teh time but I didn't scream or jerk once. Now a Tale of Two Sisters . . . that is one helaciously scary movie shudder
edit- silly me . . . I just now realized I watched Ju-on The grudge. Why are all the titles and information here so confusing >.<
