| | Ju-On: The Prequel (JAPAN 2000) |
 | | Like the many sequels that would follow, Ju-on: The Prequel is divided into numerous vignettes, all of which add up to tell the tragic story of a dysfunctional family, their eerie haunted house, and the killer curse that befalls anyone who enters. |
 | | Although there are many interconnecting stories, the heart of Ju-on: The Prequel lies in its tale of young Toshio Saeki (Ryota Koyama; the role would be played by Yuya Ozeki in later films), a young boy who has been missing from school for quite a few days. |
 | | In fact, there are plenty of creepy thrills and unsettling atmosphere to discover in Ju-on: The Prequel, although some may find the inevitability of the film's curse a bit unsettling; namely, everyone who comes in contact with the house ends up dead, disappeared, or hospitalized. |
