Horror franchise The Grudge has been adapted into a new Netflix series, and you can watch the terrifying trailer here.
After a number of sequels, spin-offs and remakes, the franchise is now coming to the streaming service for a Japanese-language origin story that looks just as scary as the original.
This show explores how the haunted house at the centre of the franchise became cursed in the first place.
Its official synopsis reads: “The J-Horror classic franchise Ju-On was actually based on real events that occurred over four decades – and the truth is even more terrifying. Can the people haunted by this house escape from its curse? And what kind of grim incident occurred in this cursed house in the past?”
Takashi Shimizu created The Grudge in 1998, releasing two short films, which led to a feature, Ju-On: The Grudge, in 2002.
Shimizu also directed the Sam Raimi-produced Hollywood remake, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Ju-On: Origins will be available to stream globally on Netflix from 3 July.
