"First viewing - Oct. 27th Sigh. Found footage. I guess I'll concede that Noroi is well-crafted, though as per usual with these films the shaky cam is obnoxious at times and there are several moments where I questioned why anyone would be filming what's going on.

Found footage-kauhuna tämä on genressään kuitenkin sieltä paremmasta päästä, sillä halpamaisia jump-scareja ei ole ja pelottelu on pitkälti tunnelmanluontiin nojaavaa."
