Dove guardare Noroi: The Curse
- Patrick Wai18 maggio 2026A 1-hour-55-minute found-footage mockumentary about a paranormal investigator chasing a demon should not feel this much like homework, yet here we are. The setup sounds promising enough, with a documentary filmmaker piecing together seemingly unrelated paranormal incidents tied to an ancient curse, but for me Noroi: The Curse was too slow, too confusing, too predictable, and nowhere near scary enough to justify all the reverent whispering around it. The acting is rough, the “cursed video” angle feels like reheated J-horror leftovers from better movies, and the found-footage gimmick was already tired years ago, let alone now. Yes, there are a few creepy ideas buried in the rubble, but the movie keeps mistaking murkiness for depth and patience-testing drag for atmosphere. By the time it finally limped to the end, I was less haunted than annoyed. For a movie obsessed with curses, its biggest curse is that it takes forever to say very little.
- punchsplosion15 ottobre 2025Doesn't quite hold up to the test of time. Very creepy scenes (about 5 total) the rest is a bit of a slog. The atmosphere and "real" nature of the found footage is almost unparalleled, and I admire for what it did for the found footage genre, but the plot is so simple and easy to predict. I would say watch it only if you are a found footage geek looking to learn the roots of the genre.
- Niztradamus13 agosto 2025It's an alright mockumentary that shows its age. There is a strong clinical sensation to the movie. Everything you see is explained like it was a educational documentary almost. That doesn't lend itself well to a horror mockumentary. The acting and cinematography is good. When it comes to the sound design they could have bumped up the voices quite a bit though. Good thing I was watching with subtitles! If you like horror mockumentaries I can easily tell you to watch it. It holds its atmosphere pretty well and is somewhat suspensful. If you don't like horror mockumentaries, what are you even doing here?
