Ju-On: The Grudge is probably the most recognisable of the many Japanese horror films that have come out over the years. The film is based on the urban legend of Kayoko, a Japanese folk tale that focuses on the idea that a curse is born when someone is murdered in a jealous rage. This movie was eventually remade as The Grudge in 2004, however, nothing beats the original.
