"It may be fading now, but Asian horror films, predominantly Japanese horror films, have had a pretty good representation on American shores of late. Prior to the turn of the century, American audiences usually thought of Godzilla-style rubber monsters when thinking of Japanese horror cinema, and most never even thought of Chinese or Korean cinema at all. That all changed in 1998, when word started to get back to adventurous horror fans of what was being touted as a completely original and utterly frightening film from Japan called Ringu.

They’re still there. There’s Kayako Saeki—she’s dead—and her little boy Toshio—he’s dead, too—along with Mar the housecat—dead as well. They died, implies the film, “in a powerful rage,” and their deaths unleashed a ju-on or curse, so that anyone who so much as steps foot in the house receives a phone call or a visit from one of the deceased and winds up just as dead as they are, “and a new curse is born,” or so the film explains.As it happens, at least five other curses were born, and that’s only if you count the sequels.Ju-on (2000) comes by way of ...
