Terror Tuesday: JU-ON: The Curse

Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar is bringing JU-ON: The Curse to the big screen on Tuesday, September 8, as part of their Terror Tuesday series. If you've been following the cycle, you know the drill: they're dedicating Tuesday nights to horror, and this week the spotlight is on one of the most influential titles in J-horror.

JU-ON: The Curse is the original Japanese film that laid the groundwork for the Grudge franchise. It's a slow-burn, atmospheric piece that trades jump scares for a lingering sense of dread, built around a cursed house and the spirits that haunt it. Seeing it in a theater is a different experience than watching it at home—the sound design and the way the tension builds in the dark make it hit a bit harder.

Because it's part of Terror Tuesday, it's not just a one-off screening; it's one night in a larger run of horror films the Drafthouse is programming. If you're a fan of the genre, it's a good excuse to make a habit of Tuesday nights for a while.

The screening starts at 9:30 PM at the South Lamar location, so it's a late one—perfect for a horror movie. You can grab tickets through Do512.
