Short description
Volunteer home-care worker Rika is assigned to visit a family, she is cursed and chased by two revengeful fiends: Kayako, a woman brutally murdered by her husband and her son Toshio. Each person that lives in or visits the haunted house is murdered or disappears.
What's left behind the scenes
- The house where filming took place was rented specifically for this project. When the franchise became popular, the house began to attract tourists, and in 2019 it was demolished.
- The makeup for the ghosts of Kayako and Toshio (played by Takako Fuji and Yūya Ozeki respectively) took 2 hours.
- Yūya Ozeki is afraid of cats, so filming his character with a beloved cat named Mar was very difficult.
- Takako Fuji practiced ballet and acrobatics, so all the seemingly impossible bends and jerky movements of her character she performed herself; no computer graphics were used.
- Two versions of the film – (R-rated) and PG-13 – were presented for test screenings. After a brief debate, it was decided to release the less harsh version, from which the most gruesome scenes were removed.
- Yuya Ozaki, who played the ghost boy, is terribly afraid of cats in real life. Nevertheless, throughout the film, we see his character with a cat in his arms.
- The attic of the ominous house was a separate structure. This provided more space for the film crew to maneuver within the house itself.
