Yūrei (Ju-on (呪怨) Edition) (compilation) /// free download it from 4 alternative links:

Imagine dying a death with such strong, intense emotions that you come back as a vengeful ghost. And not just any vengeful ghost. One with rage so steep it manifests into a curse. A curse so potent that whoever steps into the house, even one step, they are done for. And not only that, that person who they interact with, even if they've never been in the house? Bam, cursed. She has no power limit, no creative limit, nothing.

This woman is literally crawling, very slowly, most of the time and she can rip out your jaw? She can pull you up into the attic like she did to that tutor woman in the beginning of Juon: The Curse? She literally just heaved her up there like nothing. Not just the physical, but she can literally quite paralyze you in fear by her presence alone. People say, "oh why don't they get up?" maybe her presence has the same, if not more, power as a tiger's roar, which is known to quite literally paralyze its prey. She can possess you. She can switch between physical states (spirit, semi-physical ghost, or even presenting herself as she was when she was alive???)

And Kayako is by far the most creative ghost I've ever seen. Killing someone from the perceived safety of one's blanket while tormenting them with your son in tow until their last moments? Killing someone via being a projection screen on someone's ceiling? Killing someone by appearing through a wig on the floor? Manifesting in one's baby and be quite literally reborn? My lord.

Juon was made, partially, as a response to the rise of domestic violence during that time in Japan. I think what really highlighted this was when, after Kayako possessed Yoshimi in Juon: The Curse 2. That one scene where she made breakfast and all her husband did was complain about the coffee beans, the food, and she one hit did him in with the pan to the head? Yeah.
