On April 26th, the two latest films in the hugely successful JU-ON/THE GRUDGE Japanese horror series— JU-ON: WHITE GHOST and JU-ON: BLACK GHOST— will be released together on DVD in the UK by 4Digital Media. The one disk set continues the franchise under the helm of the original JU-ON producer Taka Ichise and creator Takashi Shimizu whose horror filled vision was remade in America as THE GRUDGE (2004). To celebrate the release of these horrifying films 4Digital Media and Organic Marketing have 5 copies of the DVD to give away to SciFi Japan readers in Britain. JU-ON: WHITE GHOST (Ju-On: Shiroi Rojo, 2009) is the story of a son who 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... In JU-ON: BLACK GHOST (Ju-On: Kuroi Shojo, 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… 4Digital Media`s JU-ON: WHITE GHOST and JU-ON: BLACK GHOST DVD is Region 2 PAL, cert. 15, has a running time of 121 minutes, and presents the films in their original 16x9 Anamorphic widescreen, with Japanese language audio (Dolby Digital 2.0) and English subtitles.
