Normally I am very fond of Japanese horror movies, and in overall then the "Ju-On" series have been adequate; the Japanese originals of course, not the abysmal Hollywood cash-in on the success of the Japanese movies.
However, this 2009 installment in the franchise was a swing and a miss.
First of all, the production level of the entire movie feels like something I could have done myself as an audience. It just lacks proper production value to be a proper movie.
The story was fragmented and a scrambled mess of a story, that made very little coherent sense.
The acting in the movie was adequate, although the actors and actresses had nothing to work with.
"Ju-on: Shiroi rôjo" had fair special effects, but they were far from being great mind you.
There was nothing scary about the movie at all, which made it a very dull and pointless experience to sit through. Especially if you compare it to the previous installments in the franchise.
This is definitely not a Japanese horror movie that you should rush out to invest your time or money in.
