The Japanese version with its natural warm lighting gives it a more realistic feel and makes you unaware what was going to happen next, which is what real scare should be.
The bed scene (2004 version) is the one that scared the shit outa me for month. It was an extremely sadistic choice to make for the director for he knows that when you are terrified, you feel trapped, you have nowhere to go, then your instincts tell you to act exactly like a child would do. A child scared of the dark or a ghost would definitly hide under his sheets, it's like the last sanctuary you have. ANd then in this movie, the answer is "no, fuck it, you're doomed wherever you are and the menace comes from the bed itself". (Stupide director, hate ya...)
@@niccolo_tommasi Do you really expect any realism from a movie with a ghost created by pure hate and anger that can teleport himself everywhere including your house just because it heard your voice in its house from a telephone ?
@@brianaguilar8283 There's a few subtle improvements in the 2004 version, dynamic shots that look better, but for the most part it lacks the creepy charm of the 2000 & 2002 films. I think they're all pretty good though.
Both are freaking scary. I watched The Grudge as a kid and Kayako's noise scared me to pieces for weeks. And it also introduced me to the great original version.
I like the Japanese cinematography better. It looks more realistic, so when it's day, we're letting our guards down, therefore when the scary stuff happens we're caught off guard and it becomes scarier + the realism adds to the feeling that it can happen to you, too. The blue lighting in the remake is scary in a cheap way. My opinion.
Maybe it's because you watch the original first. Coz both were directed by the same person, (Takashi Shimizu himself), with one has more budget (for cinematography improvement) than the other.
What J horror gets better than western horror is the feeling of realism, the feeling that you could just find yourself in a situation like that. In the remake there is a build up to everything. For example: J version: Oh look, a regular house behind this wall. Remake: Cue the slow, dramatic, cinematic pan over this ominous house to let everyone know that this place is one creepy mofo...
To me the realism of the original make it not as scary as it suppose to, sometime even sily. In the original Kayako basicly a girl in make up and it just take the horror out of me.
@@jasontodd6779 Yeah, but the thing is that the realism make it scarier because you couldn't tell that the house is cursed so you could get into the curse by accident
I am a Japanese, I love the American version also. they made very good remake version btw I wonder when is Sadako VS Kayako American version coming up???? I think The Ring series more popular in US?
I mean the little girl who played Samara (Sadako) in the US version grew up, so they'd have to change the actress. She's a little girl in the American version, not an adult like I recall her being in the Japanese one.
I doubt it. It's been a few years since either franchise was very relevant in the west. I doubt we'll even have a lot of chances to see the original Kayako vs Sadako in the USA legitimately.
I actually feel like these were way closer in quality to one another than the Ring movies. I can safely say there were some scenes done way better in the remake and some better in the original. Like there were some instances where the american version drew less attention to the scares or had better effects that were close enough to properly compare, while the japanese version sometimes did it better on the imagery side of things. I think the best demonstration is Kayako in the end. The way she moves is way creepier in the american version but the way she looks is creepier in the japanese version

I'm a huge fan of vengeful ghost stories and this series of films along side with The Fog, The Ring, Poltergeist, and The Woman In Black are possibly my favorites. I love the idea that the ghosts don't just stop with haunting the people who wronged them in life but also anyone who comes into contact with the time, place, or object they are attached to and that no mater where they go or what they do it will continue to spread and follow them like a plague. (Revenge is a very human emotion and to see it represented by something inhuman and not of this world is really creepy)
I think it's à really clever idea that they took american People but keep the place in Japan in the remake, add a layer of horror because they are in a foreign country and are even more isolated du to cultural and language barrier

And then i made a bad decision.. and try to watch ju on back.. i am still regreting it.. fck that.. im out
I think Ju-On: The Grudge is my favourite. That's at least the first one I saw in this franchise, so it has a special place in my heart. :) The 2000 version is awesome too!
I'd have to agree. I love the original, but I do think that some of the effects looked a little bit too... I dunno, fake, I guess? It takes me out of the moment entirely. For example, being able to see the white makeup on Toshio's face coming off in the closeup. Whereas in the American version, it looks very seamless, so there's nothing jarring that makes you lose focus of what's happening in the scene. Both versions are great, but some things are just better with a higher budget. I think it's great that it was the same director, as well, so a lot of what we're seeing in the American version (besides the American cast) was probably his original vision and likely what he would have done if he'd had the budget.
9:02 The original Ju-On wins hands down with that missing jaw scene. It's far more brilliant. Seeing that poor woman's look of pure shock, confusion, panic, and terror - and having the camera linger on her face for so long - leaves you really imagining and conjuring up some of the worst possible images in your head before the reveal, and her acting is so perfect and so real with so much breathless gasping and despair like "What the actual f*ck am I looking at?!!" It just gets to me, and it takes true talent to scare me with just reaction shots. And the reveal is just as worse, if not MORE worse than what you imagined. It burns itself into your head. The American version tries too hard (par for the course), and that's guys reaction is goofy as h*ll to me, but the woman's reaction in Ju-On chills me.
I feel like the execution of scares are so much better in the remake. Of course they would be because the director had a second chance to make improvements. I only really like the Japanese version for its score and use of natural light.
I think it's even better than Ju-On: The Grudge. Also, the 2003 movie is a sequel, so if you watch the movies in order, The Curse 1 and 2 and The Grudge 1 and 2, it's an excellent and terrifying experience. PS: Don't waste your time with the american remakes, lots of fans of the franchise like those movies because they do have some good moments, but nothing comparable to the originals.
The only thing the remake improved, was Christopher Young's work with the soundtrack. I once made an experiment, I wore headphones playing the soundtrack while watching the movie mute, that made it scarier what actually is.
Great job! Thank you so much for sharing. I just love that Takaki Fuji is in both versions as Kayako. And she killed it like a boss! As well did Yuya Ozeki in both versions as Toshio. Just love this saga and Iove as favorites the 4 japanese films and the 3 adaptations Along with the 2 Vmovies and 3 shorts. I don´t like White Ghost and none of all after that one.
Man i rented the original Ju-on: The grudge to watch alone when i were 14 years old. I regreted it so much, it's the most scary movie that i've ever watched along with "The Babadook".
The original hands down. The remake tried too hard with the moody lighting. The realism of the original adds to its creepiness, especially in Ju On when they used poorer quality camera.
You are so right about the poorer quality camera aspect of it. Horror movie makers nowadays don't understand the impact it has on the creepiness of a horror film.
I’ve watched both and both traumatized me to death so that’s my comparison. Also why do you have 3 clips of her crawling!? *Of all the scenes why the scariest!?!*
"Yes I'm sure he's Japanese" They're IN Japan XD of course he's Japanese. Though with all the white people in this movie, I can see how that would cause confusion.
I remember my mom worked right next to a blockbuster and she used to stop there on the way home from work and get Japanese movies. First time that I saw Ju On, I remember thinking, "hey they broke the rules. You're supposed to be safe in your bed under the covers" And I was never the same
There are 3 different universes in Ju-On franchise: -The OG: Katasumi (1997 - Short Film), 4444444 (1997 - Short Film), Ju-On (2000 - Home Video), Ju-On 2 (2000 - Home Video), Ju-On: The Grudge (2002), Ju-On: The Grunge 2 (2003), Ju-On: Black Ghost (2009 - Home Video Spin-Off) & Ju-On: White Ghost (2009 - Home Video Spin-Off). -The "American" ('cause it was made by Sam Raimi with the OG director reprising his role, however he didn't directed the 3rd one): The Grudge (2004), The Grudge (2006) & The Grudge 3 (2009 - Home Video). -The Japanese Reboot Universe: Ju-On: The Beginning Of The End (2014) & Ju-On: The Final Curse (2015). -Movies that I Don't have a fucking idea where Are they placed: Sadako vs. Kayako (2016) & Grudge (2020).
The Grudge 2020 takes place in the same time as The Grudge 1 and The Grudge 2 (2004 and 2006) and the connection is revealed in the start. However since it's a reboot and replacing Kayako/Toshio with Fiona and Melinda so it is not necessary, even though Kayako is here and its canon in the American. The Ju-On: Origins netflix TV is chronologically the first ever movies, OG universe. Sadako VS Kayako is its own universe, since there has to be a way for Sadako to exist alongside Kayako.

On the 2019 trailer people keep saying like “ugh the first remake was already bad! The origional is so much better!” but like the 2004 movie is a nearly shot for shot remake...
Not only that but the American versions look less silly and way more scarier(if that's what you prefer in a horror). Hey I love anime too 😉 but people are too damn unbiased marks
Twilightmia That's because the same director made them both and the remake is also very good. Except for some minor changes so as to be more "palatable" for western audiences.
For the actors Japanese did great (the graphic is kinda crappy) For the graphic, America. The only thing that makes the movie bad is its actors Both version have its good none of them were bad
Both staircase scenes from Ju-On and Ju-On: The Grudge each have only three cuts, with the two long takes being on Kayako as she crawls down the stairs. In comparison, the American remake has about 12 cuts, almost all close-ups of either Kayako or Karen. Western horror cinemtography and eastern horror cinematography are very different
I can't take Toshio seriously, he has never really scared me. Like, I can't take a meowing child seriously, it just cracks me up XD. Now Kayako on the other hand, she is fucking terrifying
I think The Grudge is just a "Ultimate Version" of all previous Ju On movies. I dont really see it as a remake cause its also a takashi shimizu film just with more budget and for western audiences
Wow, the american version mixed 3 different movies?! 🤣 Well, at least Takako Fuji, the actress that played Kayako, was wonderful. She played the same ghost in 6 movies and one short.
When I a was child me & my siblings watched this movie in a room & my sister turned off all the lights, this movie scared the living life out of me 😂😳✌😂
For me Ju-On: The Curse (the first of the Ju On series) was the best of the bunch. The young lady turning around on the stairs as well as Kayako’s husband with sensei’s baby in the bag was creepy and horrifying. The 2 short films preceding them all were kind of creepy as well.
I think the i loke more the remake we like for having basis in the Japanese terror, they added more terror and without hesitation, I like Buffy's acting, I mean ... Sarah xd The fainting scene is very funny, the original looks more like a parody of itself than the remake, I reflect more on the remake scene: I would not faint from fear but if I would be frozen, shocked, very scared, as it happened to me one time. The only negative is the blood, in the Japanese horror movies it is more psychological than physical, blood is a very secondary tool.
I never watched the movies, but the original seems to look better. For instance, the scene compositions are better to tell the story. The remake used too many useless common horror movie tricks. There's at least one exception: the hand in the hair. I think it was better in the remake because it took some time to show the hand there. It seems the characters is supposed to take some time to understand there was something weird and think there's someone behind her.
@@playerunkown8699 , when I ask if a movie is good I'm not asking if people like it. We might like senseless bad movies. Several people like The Room but they know it's a bad movie. I assume a movie usually is a way to tell a story, or share ideas, or make us think about some problems besides entertainment.
Yeah, I feel as though the western remake took more inspiration from the Kayako in Ju on: The Curse (2000) than from it's sequel. But Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) also had a pretty creepy stair scene, just less gory and minus Kayako's head falling toward the man.
@@luketabidze8175 because in the 2002 version(Ju-on :the Grudge 1) ،Kayako didn't want to kill Rika at all !!!she had deep compassion for Rika because she knew about her same destiny and she was trying to warn her about it (Takeo)
because in the 2002 version(Ju-on :the Grudge 1) ،Kayako didn't want to kill Rika at all !!!she had deep compassion for Rika because she knew about her same destiny and she was trying to warn her about it (Takeo)
the kid who played toshio on the 2002 one acts more inhuman and unnatural than the 2004 one. that kid literally traumatized for years and there weren't even any subs when I saw it and I'd already seen the 2004 one prior to it, but damn. as for the lady ghost, the 2000 ver is the scariest to me; she actually looks the part of someone mauled to death.
watched the remake as a kid when, as I was looking for CD's of games to install by accident I find the remake of the grudge, I watched it for curiosity and goddamn it scared the hell outta me then later I found Ju On and watched it, I jumped from the window and I got 6 lives left now
Something that I noticed thanks to this comparition is the difference of the scenarios used fo the films, in the japanese one, the house were the curse is, it`s just a tipical japanese house. while for the USA version they used a house full with the stereotypes of how west people thinks a japanese house looks like. I`m talking fo course about the doors, furniture, lights, etc. used to make the house in both movies.
The Japanese version with its natural warm lighting gives it a more realistic feel and makes you unaware what was going to happen next, which is what real scare should be.

Man i rented the original Ju-on: The grudge to watch alone when i were 14 years old. I regreted it so much, it's the most scary movie that i've ever watched along with "The Babadook".
Lol
lol the greatest testament of your courage!!
The ring was better
@@Nailuszn Great joke
Ju-On: The Curse (2000) is the scariest among all. I still remember how terrified I was by this during my childhood.
not many know about Ju-On: The Curse 1 and 2 when compared to Ju-On: The Grudge series
The original hands down. The remake tried too hard with the moody lighting. The realism of the original adds to its creepiness, especially in Ju On when they used poorer quality camera.
You are so right about the poorer quality camera aspect of it. Horror movie makers nowadays don't understand the impact it has on the creepiness of a horror film.
Incorrect
It was a low budget film. That’s why it had cheap cameras
This is The Grudge, both the Japanese and the American remake, not that shit they have done now.
ikr, this is better than now
I agree : this is shit !!
I’ve watched both and both traumatized me to death so that’s my comparison.
Also why do you have 3 clips of her crawling!?
*Of all the scenes why the scariest!?!*
I've watched all of them both series.
And I love them all.
But the original is the better one. Low effect make it looks more realistic
the original house seems more likeable too
@@rucikamila9101 agreed. Looks comfort and creepy as well
"Yes I'm sure he's Japanese"
They're IN Japan XD of course he's Japanese. Though with all the white people in this movie, I can see how that would cause confusion.
because the family who lived there was foreign family lol
I think the lower budget feel of Ju On made it creppier that The Grudge
I remember my mom worked right next to a blockbuster and she used to stop there on the way home from work and get Japanese movies. First time that I saw Ju On, I remember thinking, "hey they broke the rules. You're supposed to be safe in your bed under the covers"
And I was never the same
That's because if you can't hide in your own bed, where can you hide? They deffo broke the rule.
grudge has too much background music, ju-on uses mostly ambiance, ju-on's atmosphere is way better
This video really show off Fuji's performance as Kayako. I love it!
I think the version from 2000 is the best one. Simplistic and scary.
You mean Ju On The Curse?
If so i agree
There are 3 different universes in Ju-On franchise:
-The OG: Katasumi (1997 - Short Film), 4444444 (1997 - Short Film), Ju-On (2000 - Home Video), Ju-On 2 (2000 - Home Video), Ju-On: The Grudge (2002), Ju-On: The Grunge 2 (2003), Ju-On: Black Ghost (2009 - Home Video Spin-Off) & Ju-On: White Ghost (2009 - Home Video Spin-Off).
-The "American" ('cause it was made by Sam Raimi with the OG director reprising his role, however he didn't directed the 3rd one): The Grudge (2004), The Grudge (2006) & The Grudge 3 (2009 - Home Video).
-The Japanese Reboot Universe: Ju-On: The Beginning Of The End (2014) & Ju-On: The Final Curse (2015).
-Movies that I Don't have a fucking idea where Are they placed: Sadako vs. Kayako (2016) & Grudge (2020).
The Grudge 2020 takes place in the same time as The Grudge 1 and The Grudge 2 (2004 and 2006) and the connection is revealed in the start.
However since it's a reboot and replacing Kayako/Toshio with Fiona and Melinda so it is not necessary, even though Kayako is here and its canon in the American.
The Ju-On: Origins netflix TV is chronologically the first ever movies, OG universe.
Sadako VS Kayako is its own universe, since there has to be a way for Sadako to exist alongside Kayako.

Actually, they're never gonna do a movie like this...
The first one is the best and scary too.
Quite surprised the American one's scarier. It seems to be in the dark, I guess that's why.
13:25 finally Bruce Lee come to save them
Ju-On from 2000 is the best!
ju on from 2002 is the best
Ju on the curse (2000) was the most effective one for me. I love its raw and bleak athmosphere. Takeo was ultra brutal
@@dragonlukasmapping805nah the curse is better
Oh god, why am I watching this at night?
On the 2019 trailer people keep saying like “ugh the first remake was already bad! The origional is so much better!” but like the 2004 movie is a nearly shot for shot remake...
Not only that but the American versions look less silly and way more scarier(if that's what you prefer in a horror). Hey I love anime too 😉 but people are too damn unbiased marks
I think the composition in the japanese one looks more natural (esp lightning), and it works better for me
Twilightmia That's because the same director made them both and the remake is also very good. Except for some minor changes so as to be more "palatable" for western audiences.
the main diference is than in the american version the social girl get paid, in the Japonese she is a voluntere
Lol japonese
For the actors Japanese did great (the graphic is kinda crappy)
For the graphic, America. The only thing that makes the movie bad is its actors
Both version have its good none of them were bad
This is actually one of my younger yrs favorite movie,I used to watch it over and over again 😂👏☝️
やっぱり日本版の方が怖さが伝わって来ます😱呪怨俊雄君、カヤコも日本版が一番怖い😱
This pg-13 movie is a lot scarier than most current R movies, still scares me hearing cats
9:13 damn it! I told you not to bite that Jawbreaker.
🤣
What it feels like to chew 5 gum
Both staircase scenes from Ju-On and Ju-On: The Grudge each have only three cuts, with the two long takes being on Kayako as she crawls down the stairs. In comparison, the American remake has about 12 cuts, almost all close-ups of either Kayako or Karen. Western horror cinemtography and eastern horror cinematography are very different
I can't take Toshio seriously, he has never really scared me. Like, I can't take a meowing child seriously, it just cracks me up XD. Now Kayako on the other hand, she is fucking terrifying
I think The Grudge is just a "Ultimate Version" of all previous Ju On movies.
I dont really see it as a remake cause its also a takashi shimizu film just with more budget and for western audiences
Wow, the american version mixed 3 different movies?! 🤣 Well, at least Takako Fuji, the actress that played Kayako, was wonderful. She played the same ghost in 6 movies and one short.
Should add scary movie 4 too
No
No. Why would they do that?
@@ghrey8557 why not
When I a was child me & my siblings watched this movie in a room & my sister turned off all the lights, this movie scared the living life out of me 😂😳✌😂
I was scared in the shower and bathroom for a couple months. -_-
I love both versions. Sarah Michelle Gellar was perfect
For me Ju-On: The Curse (the first of the Ju On series) was the best of the bunch. The young lady turning around on the stairs as well as Kayako’s husband with sensei’s baby in the bag was creepy and horrifying. The 2 short films preceding them all were kind of creepy as well.
also the scene of kayako crawling
やっぱ2000年のオリジナルが一番怖い・・(^^;)
2:02 としおリンク
日版『としお〜』
米版『としお〜』
9:18 WAAAZZUUUUUUUUUUUUUPP?!?!!
I think the i loke more the remake we like for having basis in the Japanese terror, they added more terror and without hesitation, I like Buffy's acting, I mean ... Sarah xd
The fainting scene is very funny, the original looks more like a parody of itself than the remake, I reflect more on the remake scene: I would not faint from fear but if I would be frozen, shocked, very scared, as it happened to me one time. The only negative is the blood, in the Japanese horror movies it is more psychological than physical, blood is a very secondary tool.
Tha part where you edited the diary scene is just as terrifying!!
I like the Jaw scene in Ju-on the curse (2000)
Anthony TH-cam video tuibute song is vs a yellow baclk eye out and your email
I never watched the movies, but the original seems to look better.
For instance, the scene compositions are better to tell the story.
The remake used too many useless common horror movie tricks.
There's at least one exception: the hand in the hair. I think it was better in the remake because it took some time to show the hand there. It seems the characters is supposed to take some time to understand there was something weird and think there's someone behind her.
Pedro Couto i watch them both, they are both scary but the Hollywood remake is better.
@@raymondjimenez8913 , why do you think it's better?
@@pedroamaralcouto i think he is just used to American cinema dont blame the man xd
@@playerunkown8699 , when I ask if a movie is good I'm not asking if people like it. We might like senseless bad movies. Several people like The Room but they know it's a bad movie.
I assume a movie usually is a way to tell a story, or share ideas, or make us think about some problems besides entertainment.
@@pedroamaralcouto yeah true i have that feeling with streets fighter movie
Love em both.
But Ju-On I choose.

The stairs scene was done best by Ju-On (2000) and The Grudge (2004)
Yeah, I feel as though the western remake took more inspiration from the Kayako in Ju on: The Curse (2000) than from it's sequel. But Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) also had a pretty creepy stair scene, just less gory and minus Kayako's head falling toward the man.
@@luketabidze8175 because in the 2002 version(Ju-on :the Grudge 1) ،Kayako didn't want to kill Rika at all !!!she had deep compassion for Rika because she knew about her same destiny and she was trying to warn her about it (Takeo)
because in the 2002 version(Ju-on :the Grudge 1) ،Kayako didn't want to kill Rika at all !!!she had deep compassion for Rika because she knew about her same destiny and she was trying to warn her about it (Takeo)
I always wondered why they had to an American version of the movie if the original was amazing!
It's very rare that I love both an original and a remake the way I enjoy these films. I think they both bring their own style and forms of terror.
いやうん。どっちも怖いですはいw
Takashi Shimizu was a great Choice for the remake. He knew his movies, and he got some more budget for his ideas.
Ever evil dead was scary that time😂😂😂😂
2:37 that wasn’t the ghost that was just a black dude robbing the house
Axe dee
Got memes? 草
*=Sleeps now with a Bible and Jesus Body pillow=*
The grudge 2004 is the Best
Ju-On is better , at least for me
The grudge vs. Ju-on is best
The original Japanese version was always the scariest
I love them both the same way. And it's funny how after all fhis time, this movie still scares the shit out of me.
9:08
ここの叫んでる女優の演技すごい
ここのお母さんの反応というか演技リアルすぎ！！
how long did kayako permit these people to live in her house before dispatching them?
it was different too them but mainly she used to kill them in jest few days
Americans be like. "Make it dark. Otherwise it isn't as scary."
Japan was like, "Make it natural, and then it will be scary."
and Japan does better
Japanese horror movies just gets scarier and scarier every year NGL and it`s very disturbing lol
It’s even more creepy when they synchronize
7:50 I've noticed the way Susan Williams and Hitomi open the apartment door was just the same.
I liked both movies, they had its personale touch
Ju-On The Grudge is far way better than the remake.
the kid who played toshio on the 2002 one acts more inhuman and unnatural than the 2004 one. that kid literally traumatized for years and there weren't even any subs when I saw it and I'd already seen the 2004 one prior to it, but damn. as for the lady ghost, the 2000 ver is the scariest to me; she actually looks the part of someone mauled to death.
Yuya Ozeki appeared in both the original and remake
8:24トラウマ！
watched the remake as a kid when, as I was looking for CD's of games to install by accident I find the remake of the grudge, I watched it for curiosity and goddamn it scared the hell outta me
then later I found Ju On and watched it, I jumped from the window and I got 6 lives left now
😆 WTF .. are you a cat or something?
@@escanor7938 no he's not.
あら？2002年のとしおくん可愛い
はい、そうでした。 :)
8:38 to 9:18 i never saw this escene before how i miss this part maybe delete this from TV version or maybe i forget i saw that
Am I the only one who finds Toshio not scary at all with those "meaowths"? I can't take it seriously.
Something that I noticed thanks to this comparition is the difference of the scenarios used fo the films, in the japanese one, the house were the curse is, it`s just a tipical japanese house. while for the USA version they used a house full with the stereotypes of how west people thinks a japanese house looks like. I`m talking fo course about the doors, furniture, lights, etc. used to make the house in both movies.
you woke people always finding offensive
ahora falta la versión de scary movie
jaja el siguiente video ;)
Tenia 11 años cuando vi esta pelicula y no me dejo dormir por un largo tiempo jajaja que buenos timepos aquellos
