Paper Title: The Pale Reflection: Nonlinear Trauma and the Subversion of Domestic Space in Ju-On: White Ghost I. Abstract

Contrast the "White Ghost" (holding a basketball/recorder) with the classic Kayako imagery. How does the change in visual cues affect the audience's sense of dread? IV. Conclusion

In what ways does the film use sound design (the cassette recorder) to bridge the gap between the past and the present?
