Noroi (Japan, 2005)

A documentary filmmaker explores seemingly unrelated paranormal incidents connected by the legend of an ancient demon called the "kagutaba." 

To be honest, Noroi (a.k.a. The Curse) has more strength in its overall unnerving plot than in its shock-value, but still there are plenty of scenes where you realize that this is one of the scariest movies of its decade. Especially when it's all filmed like a documentary with a lot of found footage-material, and with a haunting score to fill you with dread. Just watching the front cover makes me want to hide under a cover.

Genre: Horror
