I've only watched the original Japanese Ju-On & Ju-On 2, but I frankly found them excessively trashy, badly directed and poorly acted. Horrors, as kupo said in another thread, are maybe too trashy in general to be my genre. I find them excellent to pass a couple of hours wanting to watch something but not wanting to be too much involved. I'll give the remake of Ju-On a try when it's realeased in my country (I don't think I'll waste money to import it
).
