Until now, the horrors that have unfolded throughout the series at the cursed house have been the work of fiction. However, for the first time, “JU-ON: Origins” will focus on the true events of which is the inspiring base of the story. Those are the beginning of the “curse” and give a raw look at the chain of terror that befalls all of those who come into contact with the house.

Together with Ichise and Takahashi, the up-and-coming director has weaved a striking drama that highlights the horrifying side of humans.
