Noroi’s sense of realism may be unmatched in found footage, and the journey of its idealistic, headstrong protagonist makes for gripping viewing. Go to Full Review

Aditya M @deathcookbook Dec 11 My friends and I watched this for a movie night. COMPLETE waste of 2 hours. We just kept laughing at when the main character kept turning around to look at the camera at any somewhat crazy moment. Literally not a single thing to make me or any of my friends feel scared. We connected the dots half way through the movie. I dont know why this movie is over reviewed but I promise you its not worth your time. See more Gamerboy1727 @wedditWevier Dec 11 Yo ts mega ass. Longer than it should be. You think the plot would be advanced or somewhat intricate but has the integrity of a wet toilet paper. Main chubby lowk the goat at making faces at camera. Hori the goat. Nothing scary happens besides realizing your ass lost 2 hours of your life. GGz, wrap it up, do not trust these glazin ass hoes. See more Korra N Jul 11 A fascinating slow burn psychological horror with gripping direction, a truly disturbing mystery & some incredible performances. See more Anthony F @BokehMonster May 7 Found footage, mock-u-mentary style in the vein of Blair Witch. Tired narrative device and heavy handed performances do not hold up twenty years later. See more Wellington C Mar 11 A found footage horror film from the time when The Blair Witch Project was the biggest reference. Here, they try to add more layers with news and TV shows, but it makes the whole pace of the film slow and, honestly, quite boring. The intentionally choppy editing makes the construction of the characters fragmented and makes it difficult to care about them. The scary scenes (or attempts) are very rare and ineffective. The mythology is also weak, with folklore presented in a poor way compared to what it could be. Not to mention that the acting is very weak, the photography is exaggeratedly shaky as if it were done by amateurs who had never used a camera in their lives. In the end, a boring and forgettable film. See more Damian M 11/23/2024 This is the most believable found footage film I've ever seen, and my favorite of all time. The scare factor comes in the form that its done so well if I watch this in theatres back when it came out in 2005 everything I know would've been shattered. See more Read all reviews
