A New Trailer and Full Synopses for Two New Ju-on Films

The Ju-on series is one that just refuses to die. We previously had a look at the combo trailer for the two new entries in the franchise, Ju-on: Shiroi Roujo and Ju-on: Kuroi Shojo, and now a new version has hit the Net.

Nippon Cinema pointed us toward the Toei Channel for the recut trailers, which have subtle differences with what was released previously. Nippon also provided more detailed synopses for the films:

Ju-on: Shiroi Roujo, written and directed by Ryuta Miyake, stars Akina Minami as a high school girl with a sixth sense named Akane, who starts having disturbing visions of a childhood best friend who recently died in a family murder-suicide.

Ju-on: Kuroi Shojo, written and directed by Mari Asato, stars Ai Kago as a nurse named Yuko who cares for a young girl who has a strange cyst inside her body. The cyst turns out to be the leftover grudge of an unborn baby and begins to spread to the surrounding people, driving them mad.

Both films sound and look suitably spooky, making me wish I was going to be in Japan on June 27, 2009, when they will be released simultaneously.
