Review of Noroi: The Curse (2005) by Kevin O — 22 Sep 2011
This is perhaps one of the greatest horror movies of all time, and certainly one of the very best representatives of the "found footage" sub-genre. A great story, eminently creeply, and thoroughly entertaining.
A lot of people didn't like the so-called "super psychic" character's acting, but if you've ever met a catastrophically schizophrenic person, you'll know the actor did an amazing job portraying lunacy.
It was also quite chilling the way his portrayal implies that many of the people we write off as merely insane, may well simply be detecting actual phenomena that escapes our less sensitive perceptions.
This is a fantastic film, and I can't recommend it strongly enough to fans of horror cinema. And be sure to check out his Lovecraftian, "found footage" 2009 feature, "Occult," as well!
