JU-ON: ORIGINS (Premieres July 3 on Netflix)

J-Horror AKA "Japanese horror" returns with a renewed incarnation of the JU-ON franchise, with this first televised adaption premiering on Netflix on July 3rd, 2020, with 6 episodes to devour! As chickensh*t as I am (#truestory), even I was intrigued with this trailer! I have a "thing" for J-Horror, moreso that Hollywood scare-fests (which includes "The Grudge"-series :p), but...


SHOW DESCRIPTION: In the Netflix Original Series Ju-On: Origins, the story based on a truth more terrifying than fiction returns. Can the people haunted by this house escape from its curse? And what kind of grim incident occurred in this cursed house in the past?

"Yoshiyoshi Arakawa will play the role of the lead male protagonist and psychic researcher Kodajima (name reading not confirmed), while the lead female protagonist Haruka will be played by Yuina Kuroshima. Haruka, a new talent, is left tormented by the sounds of footsteps in her house in the middle of the night. The curse begins to make its real move after she talks with Kodajima, a psychic researcher she became acquainted after appearing on a television variety show. The curse chain begins to link to two of them." (Reported moshimoshi-nippon.jp / Still images featured here via)
