‘The Grudge’ US Movie Franchise, Ranked Worst to Best (Photos)

The “Ju-On” motion pictures are among the many most influential and prolific horror franchises of the final 30 years, however good luck making an attempt to observe all of them. Created by Takashi Shimizu, they inform the story of a homicide so horrendously violent and hateful that it leaves a home horrifically cursed, in order that anybody who enters it takes the evil with them, like a supernatural virus. What started as a few brief movies and TV motion pictures finally turned a full-blown characteristic movie franchise, which then led to a success American remake franchise, and lately a showdown spin-off through which the ghosts from “The Grudge” battle the little lady from the unique “The Ring.”

But since many of the “Ju-On” motion pictures are presently onerous to search out in America, the remakes are holding down the fort for the collection. With a brand new “The Grudge” in theaters, let’s see how the American movies rank up in opposition to one another.
