Noroi: The Curse Ratings & Reviews
- constant51October 29, 2025This one is a slow burner but I enjoyed it.
- punchsplosionOctober 15, 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.
- fraggle67September 6, 2025Top-tier ff film.
- NiztradamusAugust 13, 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?
