Noroi: The Curse

SADAKO VS. KAYAKO director Kôji Shiraishi helms this highly praised, riveting found-footage horror must-see. NOROI takes the form of a documentary by a prominent paranormal journalist named Kobayashi, who went missing shortly after completing it. What begins as an investigation into strange noises soon evolves into the chilling mystery of a demonic entity named Kagutaba, as suspense and terror build steadily to a heart-stopping finale.
A paranormal journalist explores a series of strange events that may be connected to an ancient demon.

Exceptional storytelling and outstanding craftsmanship. Highly recommended for fans of found footage films. The actor portraying Mr. Hori delivered an exceptional performance, and the film's ending was truly intense. If you have a Shudder subscription, you cannot miss this movie. It’s a must-watch: The End.
Love this movie! It's creative, paints an increasingly creepy atmosphete, and manges to weave multiple stories/events together seamlessly. This movie is a slow burn and I can see why it's not to everyone's taste (especially if you aren't into found footage movies). Def worth a watch though!!
Found footage is my favorite sub-genre. This one is right up there with V/H/S and Paranormal Activity.
Interesting ideas, just kind of slow, and they didn't pan out in a satisfying way.
Japanese folks love VHS tapes!
