How it feels

A series of vignettes follows different people who encounter a malevolent ghost in a house. Their stories are told out of order and their fates are tied to a curse from the past.

What happens

Ju-On: White Ghost (呪怨: 白い老女, Juon: Shiroi Rōjo; lit. "Ju-On: White Old Lady") is a 2009 Japanese supernatural horror film produced in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Ju-on series. Like most films in the franchise, White Ghost is told in a non-linear order, with each vignette titled after a character central to the story. The Saeki murders, central to previous Ju-on films, are absent from the sequel, with Toshio Saeki making a brief cameo being the only exception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
