Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)

[aspenwitch]

I’m rewatching as many long hair ghost movies as I can this October this is maybe my favorite hyperfixation

A couple of recent art pieces!

Just that one Twitter art trend thing

Kayako Saeki (from Ju-On/The Grudge) is on the left. My persona (she/her) is on the right

Truly, I am Kayako’s wife and girlfriend 😔🖐🏻

Aaand this one’s another self portrait!

Inspired by ‘The Maid’ by Ashen Veil

I forgot my freckles in this one, oh well :’)

Hot take: Kayako from Juon, specifically the Japanese movies, is the ultimate female rage icon.

Imagine dying a death with such strong, intense emotions that you come back as a vengeful ghost. And not just any vengeful ghost. One with rage so steep it manifests into a curse. A curse so potent that whoever steps into the house, even one step, they are done for. And not only that, that person who they interact with, even if they've never been in the house? Bam, cursed. She has no power limit, no creative limit, nothing.

This woman is literally crawling, very slowly, most of the time and she can rip out your jaw? She can pull you up into the attic like she did to that tutor woman in the beginning of Juon: The Curse? She literally just heaved her up there like nothing. Not just the physical, but she can literally quite paralyze you in fear by her presence alone. People say, "oh why don't they get up?" maybe her presence has the same, if not more, power as a tiger's roar, which is known to quite literally paralyze its prey. She can possess you. She can switch between physical states (spirit, semi-physical ghost, or even presenting herself as she was when she was alive???)

And Kayako is by far the most creative ghost I've ever seen. Killing someone from the perceived safety of one's blanket while tormenting them with your son in tow until their last moments? Killing someone via being a projection screen on someone's ceiling? Killing someone by appearing through a wig on the floor? Manifesting in one's baby and be quite literally reborn? My lord.

Juon was made, partially, as a response to the rise of domestic violence during that time in Japan. I think what really highlighted this was when, after Kayako possessed Yoshimi in Juon: The Curse 2. That one scene where she made breakfast and all her husband did was complain about the coffee beans, the food, and she one hit did him in with the pan to the head? Yeah.

That woman's rage and sorrow in death is so powerful that even she herself cannot escape its curse bound in vengeance. So, to be more accurate, it's more like a strong rage and sorrow mix. But still, I believe she is the ultimate boss of female rage. Because she is unstoppable. Kayako's spirit will be fueled with rage and sorrow until the end of time, and maybe after.

Back in 2017 I used to draw Little Luthien and my favorite horror characters in Peanuts style... I guess I'll get back into drawing them... I do have to make new additions to the gang tho. You can notice my slight obsession with mr. Wise there... lol

Too bad my Woodstock is not a lovebird anymore. Instead it is a giant parrot lol I don't know how I'll draw him XD ‼️❌ PLEASE DO NOT TRACE/COPY/DOWNLOAD/REPOST THIS ARTWORK WITHOUT PERMISSION! ❌‼️

[thewizardlywyrm]

I made another little love letter to my favourite horror movies/games/creatures and am hoping to do a whole series over time! Love me some spoops! 

This time it’s Kayako Saeki of the Ju-On/Grudge series ( I really like her design for the older Western remakes but I might also draw her OG form, too! They’re both really good! ) !

Continuing our theme of J-Horror, #spookyposting gets to the other part of the Yurei love-in with the first film review on the channel - SADAKO VS KAYAKO (The Ring vs The Grudge)

ME AND KAYAKO GOT MARRIED

[rubedeckillerofficial]

This is how it feels to wake up and check work messages in bed

[mourningmaybells]

wish people took a lesson from universal's monsters when it comes to crossover movies

"X vs Y" <- very mean and confrontational. people will expect a fight and get disappointed when it usually only happens for 5 minutes near the end

"X meets Y!" <- fun and ambiguous sounding. people will be intrigued and wonder if they become friends and team up or fight to the death

[kings-lone]

I had a dream that someone drew Sadako fan art for me and captioned it “drew Kayako 🥰” or smth like that and I commented “uhm actually that’s Sadako Yamamura from Ringu, NOT Kayako Saeki from Ju-On 🤓☝🏻”

So uhm that inspired me to finally make a comparison sheet between Kayako and Sadako in my AU LOL

This is also good for differentiating them in their canon universes as well and interpreting them in my own art style, but hell yea AU Kayako and Sadako ftw

[peatij]

I needed to draw Kayako from The Grudge dunking on me for my video, enjoy!
