Ju-On : the name given to a deadly curse spawned when someone dies in the grip of a violent rage. All who come into contact with it are doomed...Deep in the shadows of the attic of an ordinary family home in the Tokyo suburbs, something malevolent is stirring. When social worker Rika (Megumi Okina) is sent to check on a traumatised old lady whose family have moved in at the site of the notorious Saeki family murder case, she unwittingly unleashes a cycle of terror that is transmitted via its victims further and further from its original source.Arrow Video is proud to present a 4K restoration of the film that revitalised the Japanese horror boom of the turn of the millennium. Writer-director Takashi Shimizu's disconcerting approach to plotting, unnerving eye for the uncanny details in the dark corners of the frame and an innate talent for effective jump scares so impressed Evil Dead director Sam Raimi that he invited the director to helm two Hollywood remakes.4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS4K restoration from the original camera negative by Arrow Films4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)Original 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and 2.0 stereo audioOptional English subtitlesIntroduction by writer-director Takashi ShimizuAudio commentary by film historian David KalatAudio commentary by Sam Raimi and Scott SpiegelAlternate English dub track in 5.1 SurroundHaunting in Monochrome, an interview with Takashi Shimizu on the Ju-On filmsBeing Kayako, an interview with Takako Fuji on her role as KayakoThe Evolution of Ju-On, a new featurette with authors and Japan specialists Tom Mes and Zack Davisson discussing the cultural forces that shaped the seriesThrough a Glass Darkly, an archive interview with Takashi ShimizuWhispers in the Dark, an archive interview with actor Megumi Okina on her role as RikaFade to Black, an archive interview with actor Kayoko Shibata, who plays MarikoOn-set interviews with Takashi Shimizu, Megumi Okina, Misaki Ito, Misa Uehara and Yui IchikawaDeleted scenes with commentary by Takashi ShimizuAlmost an hour of behind-the-scenes footageJu-On True Stories, two ghostly true-life tales that inspired the films, narrated by Hiroyoshi KiharaOriginal trailersImage galleryReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Oink Creative
