Review of Noroi

Noroi (2005)
Seems like you either love this movie or you hate it.

I, for one, absolutely loved this movie. A progressive and experimental approach to horror.

It is not a "typical Asian horror" where you would see a gruesome looking ghost (usually a woman) that is going around scaring people. You barely see any ghosts for a majority of the film, but the way this movie keeps you interested in the plot and characters is genius.

This is not the movie for you if you're into gore or jumpscares, but this movie has an underlying "creepy" factor throughout the entire movie which I loved.

Don't let the documentary-style of filming turn you off (why should it?). It is on par, if not superior, to the Blair Witch Project - it really feels like you're watching something that you're not supposed to be seeing.
