Called Noroi in Japan, The Curse is also set in a mockumentary style. It’s presented as footage from Masafumi Kobayashi (Jin Muraki), a journalist and paranormal investigator, who went missing while trying to uncover the mysteries of the demon Kagutaba. What I loved about this film was the eerie atmosphere and mood. With its haunting images, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable while watching it. If you are looking for any jump scares, this film is not for you. The Curse focuses primarily on developing the story and characters, letting the subtle ambiance do its insidious work.
