Probably the mnost successful franchise in modern Eastern horror, the Ju-on films started on Japanese TV and spread into Japanese and American cinema and even video games. Now the series has been revived with two hour-long, direct-to-video productions, Ju-On: White Ghost and Ju-On: Black Ghost, that stylistically return to the series' roots.

Ju-On: White Ghost / Ju-on: Shiroi rôjo (2009)
A son brutally and methodically murders all five of his family members after failing the bar exam. He then hangs himself. At the moment of his death, he made a cassette tape recording in which he can be heard saying "I'll go, I'll go soon...". On the same tape can be heard the eerie sound of a young girl's voice. It is the voice of Mirai, who was a friend of Akane, whilst at primary school. Mirai was a victim of the mass family slaughter incident. Akane, who is now a senior high school student, has had a strong ESP power since childhood. Suddenly one day Mirai appears in front of her, wearing the yellow cap and red backpack of a primary school student. The terror is just about to begin...

Ju-On: Black Ghost / Ju-on: Kuroi shôjo (2009)
Nurse Yuko is left in charge of a young girl called Fukie, and begins to experience strange things. Medical examinations reveal that there is a "cyst" in Fukie's body. The cyst is actually an unborn one that is full of hatred for mankind and curses everyone around her. Yuko's neighbour is taken by a girl in black, and Fukie's father commits a murder and goes insane. Fukie's mother has to rely on the special psychic powers of Fukie's younger sister to help drive out the evil spirit. However, the exorcism eventually fails, and the worst grudge yet begins.

Ju-On: White Ghost & Ju-On: Black Ghost will be releaed on a single DVD by 4Digital Media on 26th April 2010 at the RRP of £15.99. No extras have been listed.
