Noroi: The Curse

Koji Shiraishi's 2005 Japanese found footage film is an intricate supernatural mystery that unfolds across TV shows, home videos, and documentary footage. A paranormal investigator traces connections between a missing woman, a psychic child, and an ancient demon called Kagutaba. At 115 minutes, it demands patience — but the payoff is one of the most elaborate and genuinely frightening mythologies in horror. The tinfoil scene and the final ritual are peak J-horror dread.
