About Takashi Shimizu
Takashi Shimizu set J horror with Ju-on The Grudge in 2002 about Kayako house tapes with Rika. The Grudge US in 2004 about Karen in Tokyo plus Reincarnation in 2005 about hotel murders set curse rules with non linear scares.
Flight 7500 in 2014 about plane ghosts plus Howling Village in 2019 about tunnel towns widen scale. Each film resets cast but keeps grudges, so order tracks scares more than plot. The pace stays steady across entries, with each part adding new faces without losing the core tone.
Good to know
There is no shared story to reorder except Ju-on house links, but release order keeps reveals best. Watch Ju-on first for dread entry, then try US Grudge for wider cast. Treat the run as ongoing since Shimizu directs often, with Howling Village as the current endpoint. Plan extra time for finales, since later parts assume full knowledge of earlier twists.
