Oh nice. I've seen the original only. Not sure I've seen any of the American remakes of the Asia extreme stuff 🤔 are any of them good? Lol

Mmmm if you compare them to themselves, my opinion is that the originals are better then it gets worse as it goes on.

Ju-on the curse was ok. Ju-on r the curse 2 was better. Ju-on the grudge was amazing, ju-on the grudge 2 was maybe a little confusing but I thought was really good (compared, you'll see why in a second) then the American ones were ok, 1 ok, 2 meh, 3 oof, and the 2020 one was refreshing but meh. Then there was black ghost white ghost the beginning of the end and final chapter all of which I felt lost the plot completely. And they're was a sadako vs kayako cross over but I haven't watched it because I was like "should I do the thing movies to🤔🤔🤔"

Overall though. Compared to other films but just it's own timeline, I think they're ALL just meh. Out of 10 I think the one I rated highest was a 7🤷🏽. I guess I just don't find em all that compelling. But they do have done really cool shots and poetic reasonings behind things which is cool.

I might have only seen Ju-on the grudge. Honestly can't remember, been a while 🤔

But yeah there was a time when it was quite refreshing seeing these Asian horrors with their own sense of horror. There is a sense of the poetic and their particular aesthetics and I suppose reflections of cultural anxieties (and religiosity? That seems to be a thing) peculiar to the regions. Maybe that seems less fresh the more you see? But that's not a fault tbh.

I had no idea there was a ...Vs sadako. That *may* just be goofy enough for me to want to watch lol. Not sure lolol. I thought Pulse was p decent and the spiral one..I forget the name. Have you seen I Saw The Devil. Not really in the horror genre, but is amazing.

I think probably that's the best one. But ju-on the grudge 2 is worth it. And this is a supercut of the 2 curse movies (separately they overlap where they just replay the end of the first one in the second so someone on YouTube did this service)

Which is basically a prequel to the grudge and pretty worth it as well🤷🏽

But again my highest rating was a 7 for what it's worth🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽

They promoted the kayako vs sadako movie at a baseball game 🤷🏽

I haven’t seen any of the Ju-on movies but I did see Ringu and its disowned sequel, Spiral. Ringu was pretty good. Spiral was a mess.

I think I've seen the original ringu. I definitely saw the American ring and the one that came out a few years ago Rings
