For anyone in the Boston area: you can find Ju-On at Newbury Comics. The version there is Region 0 and also includes the DTS soundtrack. PQ is pretty good and I believe it's only $19.99.

I first read about this film in an article in “Film Comment.” The writer points out that there are actually for Juon films: Juon, Juon 2, Juon: The Grudge and Juon: The Grudge 2. The first two were released for TV in 2000, the next two were done for the movies in 2002. From what I read they seem to be variations of the same storyline, not exactly remakes or sequels. From what the article continues to say they all seem worth viewing. What I would like to know: are all four films available somewhere? I was checking out Nichflix.com and the have Juon: The Grudge and Juon 2. Now, is Juon: The Grudge the 2002 version from the movies and Juon 2 the 2000 version from the TV? It can get confusing with the name variations.

Juon: The Grudge is a heck of a lot less confusing (well to me anyway) if you have seen the 1st tv movie. Since the film is Japanese I think that the director assumed that the (Japanese)audience would be familiar with the backstory from the tv films.
