About Ja-on
A horror drama in which a young man is struck with fear by a female ghost. Toshio, a video rental store employee, is in love with Mayumi, a regular customer, but she soon dies mysteriously. One day, Mayumi appears before Toshio wearing mourning clothes. Since that day, Toshio has been losing his vitality...
Directed by Kenji Goto, Ja-on leans on a strong ensemble — Minami Hoshikawa, Yasutoshi Kira, Zeeko Uchiyama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2004.
