Katasumi (1998) is the first of two short films that were written and directed by Takashi Shimizu, which serve as prequels to his feature film debut, Ju-on : The Curse (2000). This one focuses on the final moments of two schoolgirls, Hisayo Yoshida (Ayako Omura) and Kanna Murakami (Kanna Kashima), as they fall victim to the cursed spirit of Kayako Saeki (Takako Fuji). Its premise is simple, yet extremely effective, and showcases several characteristics of classic J-Horror movies, such as the monstrous embodiment of an evil entity, the vengeful spirit of a woman, an eerie or secluded location and a complete lack of a music score. The acting is also more than adequate and the ending is quite satisfying, despite being somewhat ambiguous. And, even though it is still one of the shortest short films that I ever watched, it remains a fitting introduction or companion piece to one of be most famous Japanese horror franchises.

Good prequel to Ju-On: The Curse, I think if you watch that movie you can't skip this one and the second mini-film "4444444444" (Ten Fours).
They are a good short introduction to the main thing.
They portray the good old-style horror with no music and different camera prospectives.
