Ju-On: The Grudge

Friday, October 23 - Saturday, October 24, 2026

SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

A social worker visits an elderly woman at her house. The woman appears deeply disturbed, but that’s nothing compared to the shapeless black void — also known as “Kayako” — that lurks in an upstairs hallway. Quiet, creepy, and with bursts of unexpected intensity, JU-ON: THE GRUDGE combines liminal spaces and creepypasta chills to rattle your skeleton. There’s nothing scarier than not knowing what’s scaring you.
