nilufer E @Nilicim Sep 20, 2026 The concept and found-footage style were interesting, but it never really came together for me. There were some creepy moments, but overall it felt too messy and underwhelming to leave much of an impact.

Okay skip the scary part because it's not for me, I think also movie's approach not that unique. Actors played well but story was so shallow. This is where I draw the line, the film used real pigeons -I am nearly certain, it is very low possiblity that they used other techniques. I don't know about dogs.- for this horror movie. This movie's story don't deserve the lost lives of pigeons and possibly dogs. Story just isn't deep, psychological, philosophical or even scary. I don't know why people like this film. See more Due F @RT14704568 Jun 26, 2026 *Noroi: The Curse* stands out with its pseudo-documentary approach, gradually building suspense through a well-structured investigation, natural performances, and an unsettling atmosphere that feels eerily authentic. While some unanswered questions, limited character development, and occasional lapses in character logic prevent it from being fully satisfying, the film's compelling mystery and slow-burning horror remain highly effective. Overall, it is a rewarding horror experience for viewers who enjoy atmospheric storytelling and psychological dread over conventional jump scares.

The acting is above average for the genre, and the storytelling structure is genuinely unique and ambitious, with all the threads eventually coming together in a satisfying way. It may lack the truly visceral dread of the absolute top-tier horror films, but it’s still an entertaining and very worthwhile watch.

Finished with a bang. Not too bad at all.
