Japan is in full nominations to choose who will be the next president of the country, being that in recent days there have been interesting proposals by very serious candidates, but due to regulations in Japan, television is obliged to give a space to anyone, so the bizarre side of the citizens was present. And in the last hours a new character joined the “waifu” candidate who showed her attributes or the Joker, being that in this case Samara Morgan or better known as the ghost of the movie “Ju-on” made her appearance to the surprise of the entire internet.
Ju-on” character runs for president in Japan
The Twitter/X account @therealbuni shared a video where we can see this character in front of a podium while giving a speech and next to him the character of his ghost son. That pale skinned boy that we all remember for being at the foot of the stairs and it seems that Japanese television is obliged to give a space to all those who want to be candidates and one of them was characterized in this way.
Among some of the most commented things was the excellent characterization that both people did, especially the boy, which not only physically resembles the one in the movie “Ju-on“, but the makeup and expression generate some discomfort. This makes it look like the boy does not blink, his look creates uncertainty and he opens his mouth like the character in the movie, his characterization was one of the most mentioned.
The comments left on the video are quite funny, “Japan is a meme” “To be governed by a corrupt or by a ghost, difficult decision” “When Godzilla?”, were some of them, plus many comments corrected this profile for misplacing the name of the film from which these characters come “It is not “The Hoop” is “The curse”.
The movie “Ju-on” is a Japanese horror film released in 2002, directed by Takashi Shimizu. This film shows his influence on books and films and depicts his personal fears and experiences. Vaguely, the film is part of a series of films that focus on a haunted house and the curse that affects those who enter it.
The plot of “Ju-on” unfolds through a non-linear narrative, presenting different characters who face a deadly curse after coming into contact with the house and the spirits that inhabit it. The story is divided into different episodes that show how the curse spreads from one person to another, affecting both those who have visited the house and those who have simply crossed the path of the vengeful spirits.
One of the distinctive aspects of “Ju-on” is the presence of Kayako, a female spirit with an eerie and disturbing appearance, whose presence heralds the fatal fate of those who have been marked by the curse. In addition, the film uses psychological horror techniques and striking visuals to create an atmosphere of constant unease and tension. Now imagine that this terrible being ends up being your president, this is quite curious.
As we said before, “Ju-on” had a significant impact on the horror genre, so much so that it is possible to recognize the character even without having seen the movie, besides this film has been recognized internationally, generating a franchise that includes several sequels and adaptations both Japanese and American, the latter being possibly the best known for many people.
Finally, it is important to know that there is still a little time left to run, so it is expected that the public will continue to bring many more recognized characters of popular culture to run for president in Japan. This is why with each passing day the appearances are becoming more and more bizarre and seem to have no end in the near future.
