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

Korra N Jul 11 A fascinating slow burn psychological horror with gripping direction, a truly disturbing mystery & some incredible performances. See more Anthony F 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 @QueenOnion 10/23/2024 If you're a fan of found footage films, this may be one of the best. See more Jonathan G 08/26/2024 This was in desperate need of a plot. Second half was great, but god, this was way longer than it needed to be. See more Read all reviews
