Ju-on: The Beginning of the End

Present me with an Asian horror movie and I will immediately sit down and watch it. And being familiar with the "Ju-On" franchise, of course I will sit down to watch this Japanese horror movie, as I was given the chance to do so.

However, I must say that "Ju-on: Owari no hajimari" (aka "Ju-On: The Beginning of the End") was somewhat of a swing and a miss.

First of all, there was absolutely nothing scary anywhere to be found in this movie. Well, unless you are an Asian, of course, then you'll find the little white painted boy and his floor and ceiling crawling mom scary. But for a seasoned horror veteran as myself, nothing scary in this movie at all.

Secondly, the storyline was just rubbish. It kept jumping to and from various storylines and following different characters. Sure, it was interwoven, but it just had very little appeal, especially since none of the storylines were particularly interesting and had zero scary stuff in them.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually good, taking into consideration the fact that the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of a proper script.

All in all, "Ju-On: The Beginning of the End" was a less than mediocre foray into the "Ju-On" genre, and it was a weak movie in itself. My rating of the movie is a meager three out of ten stars.

I loved it. Whats not to like? Don't expect alot,its a simple story of a teacher and her student

Its from ju-on franchise ,which means basic story plot should have to be the same,just accept it ,but if you want to watch something simple and horror you are in for a treat. Some scenes are quite discomforting and the best part is in a simple movie like this ,you would not have expected those.So believe me Set your bar low and then watch it.

Horror sequences were good,not too scary or gory,but enough thrilling to keep you engaged.All of them cast members acted beautifuly specialy the main protagonist,she was charming.The cinematography and background music were okay, overall a pretty solid movie for a one time watch.

And yes you can make Nozomi sasaki stand in a 2 hour movie with some expressions on her face, i m ready to watch it. No one can deny . She's just born cute

Now this is the 4th version of the same movie made in 20000

Ju-on-The Curse (2000) well that movie was really creepy, Ju-on-The Grudge (2002) this movie scared the hell out me, The Grudge (2004) was not as good as the other but at least it had a hint of suspense in the movie,Unlike this remake.

This movie was not scary or creepy, it was just really badly done, no atmosphere at all in any of scenes

There were some new stuff added into this movie however most of the movie was scene from scene remake with little change.

The movie opens like a found footage movie, only the opening scene , were 3 people go into house and then find something bad.

I liked that scene at the start, so from there i thought the movie was going good but I was really wrong, just movie just go worse as it went on.

When ghost appears, it was so bad, I thought the ghost The Grudge 3 (2009) was bad) this was even more silly.

I didn't not this movie at all, I didn't like how some of story changed and scene they remade did have same impact or any impact at all.

the acting was okay!

It's awful. Avoid it. I waste my money on this, definitely need a refund. It's so nothing in the beginning and super funny at the end. My friend sleep the whole movie and only wakes up when the whole cinema is laughing. Yes, we all laugh at the ghost/alien(or whatever that is). And did I tell you we were watching it at midnight. Yes, that boring. You might enjoy the comedy but only if you can bare yourself through the whole movie. Half of the audience walk out.

I always love Ju-on movies but this one is definitely a miss. The cast is OK but the directing, the plot, the ghost all wrong. Overall, you get the point.

Another scary flick in this long running Jap-horror series that seems to run out of new tricks this time around. The SCARE here is still scary and creepy, however it just feels too repetitive and we can see that it tarted to run out of any new ideas or scares here. Even they might have some new ideas here but in the end those scenes unfortunately just become laughable and make the film even less scarier and just become an embarrassment to this respected franchise. I have to admit I did laugh out loud in one of the scenes because of that. There are also some GORES here but nothing that shocking or that you haven't seen before from other horror films. Overall, this latest Ju-On film may have some classic scares here and there but in the end, the film is still a disappointing one in the series that try to bring in some new scares but ultimately resulting in becoming a laughable and forgettable one instead. >>C+<<
