So..there are actually 4 Japanese Ju-On movies and then 2 American 'The Grudge' movies? Which one of the Japanese movies were the remakes based off of?

ye there are 4 japanese and 2 american i'm pretty sure the american ones were remakes of the 2 grudge films, and all were directed by the same person.

Well, I didn't really like any of them. But the Japanese versions were way better than the American one's. What the hell was the director thinking when he made the American versions?

In fact both movies and its sequels have the same title. "Ju-on" & "Ju-on 2" (2000 & 2000) (2002 & 2003) all directed by Shimizu. It is confusing as hell. Then we have the "The Curse" "The Grudge" added subtitles so get ready for confusing again with the american "The Grudge" remakes.
Confusing as hell. I remember watching "Ju-on: The Grudge" first then its all messed up probably Ju-on then I think that after I watched I don't know which sequel the the remake
I'm lost in this series, but I enjoyed the very very first one (notthe shorts)

It's not that confusing, just watch them in order that they were made. All four Japanese movies are watched in order and don't include the American movies in it.

This movie was exactly what I thought it was, so thanks for projecting your own confusion onto others.

Well, I thought THIS JU-ON (2000) was about the male teacher, and the JU-ON (2003) was the popular one about the young volunteer.
SO, THIS IS THE MOVIE I think it is. And all that "the grudge", "the curse" or whatever, it's been added to english speakers, so YOU people don't get confused.
We know the 2 short films from 1998, this JU-ON video movie, the JU-ON 2 from 2000 and then you got your so famous JU-ON from 2003, remaked with USA Buffy's actress (the tv series' Buffy, not the original actress from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" film, so you don't get confused).

I loved all 4 Japanese movies, but I think the first one (TV version) was a little more scarier than the others. and I've also seen the first American remake called "The Grudge" and it was an abomination, IMO. it seriously sucked, compared to the original
