The lighting-design of Ju-On: The Grudge is fantastic. Shimizu refuses to cheaply exploit darkness to make the scares and horror stronger...

The sense of dread doesn't always translate to scares. I found the timeline a bit confusing

Relentless, aptly filmed and most importantly scary, Ju-on: The Grudge does get hurt by some of its non-linearity and i wasn't always invested in the plot and characters, but this horror movie succeeds where it matters and it sits with you after you have finished it.
