White Ghost, Black Ghost in ‘Ju-On’ Sequels
Kadokawa Pictures revealed to Bloody Disgusting that their latest Ju-On sequels have new American titles (it makes it so much easier, don’t it?). Mari Asato’s Ju-On: Kuroi Shoujo has been retitled to Ju-On: Black Ghost, while Ryuta Miyake’s Ju-On: Shiroi Roujo has been retitled to Ju-On: White Ghost. Beyond the break you’ll find Japanese posters for both, along with synopses and trailers.

The entire family is slaughtered. A former friend, Mirai, is murdered, her throat slit… In the midst of her despair, a young girl, Akane (Akina Minami), sees…
JU-ON: BLACK GHOST—– Nurse Yuko (Ai Kago) is left in charge of a young girl named Fukie, and begins to experience strange things. Medical examination reveals that there is a `cyst’ in Fukie’s body. The hatred of the unborn one is feeding off of the young girl, and curses the people around her. This is the grudge of someone that could not be born… Filled with an unimaginable `hatred’, people are killed one after the other with a curse.
