Ju-on: The Grudge Creeping into the US

Publisher XSEED has confirmed that Takashi Shimizu's survival horror Wii project will be heading to the US as Ju-on: The Grudge.

The game's inspired by Japanese horror classic "Ju-on", the basis of the US version known as "The Grudge", described by XSEED as a "haunted house simulator" following the spread of a deadly curse of a housewife murdered in a grisly way. Like fellow Wii horror games you'll be using your remote as a flash light, exploring an abandoned warehouse, hospital, mannequin factory etc.

A second player can also jump in to push buttons on a separate remote to make events happen in-game for that extra scare factor.

Ju-on: The Grudge is due out in October 2009.
