	Media	Author	Review
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"An expansion of the cursed horror franchise adds even more malignant mythology but will struggle to find interest outside of hardcore fans (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Ju-On: Origins takes the franchise in an exciting new direction, however, proving there’s still a lot of life and thrills left to be mined from this property"
		Alex McLevy AV Club	"Stories strung together without much dramatic connective tissue or depth to the people involved, characters as ill-defined and weightless as the spirits that menace them"
		Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"This may not be 'The Haunting of Hill House', but it’s an emotional ghost story about trauma that has something to say beyond its scares (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[It] is a quick watch and has a very strong finish, so I certainly recommend checking it out. You just need to get through a few messy episodes at first (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Haleigh Foutch Collider	"If you have patience and the stomach for it, 'Ju-On: Origins' is a bold new direction for the franchise"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[It] is at least trying to do something a bit different with the material, but 'Ju-On: Origins' strips this cursed franchise of its overused imagery and forgets to replace it with anything worthwhile (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"A well-drawn story and interesting characters (...) The stories told in this series will be intriguing to any horror fan."
