- Katasumi and 4444444444 (1998) The two central characters from the Ju-On franchise first appear in these two short films from Takashi Shimizu. At just three minutes each, Katasumi and 4444444444 are a pair of expertly economic ‘screamers’ where innocent teenagers get the fright of their lives, courtesy of a crawling contortionist and a small boy who meows like a cat, both painted head to toe in white.
- Ju-On: The Curse (2000) Kiyoshi Kurosawa – Shimizu’s mentor at film school and already a notable genre voice due to films like Sweet Home, Cure and Séance – loved the two shorts and helped to secure the budget for their expansion into a straight-to-video feature.
- Ju-On: The Curse 2 (2000) The Curse 2 is a short and curious sequel that was shot back-to-back with The Curse. 29 minutes out of 76 (nearly half the run time) are taken entirely from The Curse, which certainly makes you question the point of making two films.
- Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) Both Curse films were very successful in Japan, so Shimizu was asked to bring Kayako and Toshio out of the video world and onto the big screen, which he did with style.
