Sometimes the past continues to haunt the present; especially when evil deeds were committed. Social Worker, Rika, is just an ordinary woman, who is sent to the Tokunaga’s house in Nerima, Tokyo. It is a quiet neighborhood with no indication of anything bad. Then Rika enters the house to care for the elderly Sachie. At first Sachie doesn’t respond to Rika, she just lays down on a dirty futon inside a messy room. Rika hears strange noises from the ceiling and proceeds to investigate. Carefully, she walks upstairs and enters a room. She opens a closet door and there is a mysterious young boy staring back at her. Quickly, Rika walks downstairs to call the welfare center and finds an odd photo of a husband, wife, and son. The father’s face and body have been cut out. The boy in the photo is the same boy Rika saw in the closet. Sachie is softy speaking and Rika rushes in to see what’s going on. The she stops as a black figure floats above Sachie with strange eyes. So begins Ju-on: The Grudge.
