Note : The other well-known J-Horror franchise apart from Ringu is of course Ju-On, which has had a bunch of adaptations, prequels, sequels, remakes and whatnot, but this is the first theatrical film (there were a couple of direct to video films before this), and probably the best in the franchise. Told as a series of vignettes describing different characters that come into contact with the titular curse and their fates, the fragmented, nonlinear narrative works well to emphasize the almost random, motiveless rage of the thing, cursing and killing pretty much everyone who comes into contact with it, or even people who come into contact with them again, with no discrimination of motive or intent. It's definitely a slow burn, and, unlike the considerably less interesting American remake, it to a larger degree lets you figure out the origin of the curse by yourself. Quite a few good sequences, although the whole thing doesn't quite click for me personally.
A young woman volunteering at a social welfare center is sent to an old woman's house after the normal social worker fails to report in. She finds the old woman alone, her son and daughter in law nowhere to be found, and as she cleans up the mess, she starts hearing sounds and rightly suspects she's not quite alone in the house. Later, we see the fate of the son and daughter in law, then the daughter, a police officer who once investigated the house and two police officers assigned to the new case, and the police officer's daughter and her friends, and finally the social worker and her friend, a schoolteacher. All meet various ill fates at the hands of the ghostly Kayako, watched by her son Toshio.
I don't know what's up with Japanese Blu-Rays and fucked up black levels, but this definitely did not look great. I gently adjusted the contrast curve to compress the shadows and bring the darkest areas reasonably within range of full black, also slightly boosting contrast in the process, and I think it looks much better, although it's a fairly grungy affair in general. The 5.1 track is fine, the English dub is... what it is, and the commentary with Sam Raimi, who produced the US remake, and Evil Dead II screenwriter Scott Spiegel is pretty fun.
