NOROI: THE CURSE (2005)

Everything is real, everybody died.

A contemporary classic in the found footage horror genre, NOROI: THE CURSE is Director Kôji Shiraishi's experimental approach within the J-horror genre.

NOROI blends reality and folklore to create a chilling, immersive and remarkably intricate horror mockumentary that has received cult status.
