Noroi (The Curse) is a 2005 Japanese found footage horror film made as if a documentary. This isn't a gory film and doesn't have "jump" scenes but focuses on the experiences of people who've come into contact with the curse. The plot summary at Wikipedia begins with this:
The film focuses on Masafumi Kobayashi, a paranormal expert who produced a series of books and documentaries on supernatural activity around Japan. He disappeared in the process of making his most disturbing documentary, The Curse. His house burnt down and his wife Keiko was found dead in the ruins. The aforementioned movie begins to play, shown mostly through the recordings of Kobayashi's cameraman Miyajima.

I don't like horror with gratuitous gore. This film sounds like it would fit the bill.
ReplyDeleteThe curse and unexplained disappearances are scary enough without the gore.
DeleteScary thought that they are everywhere....I just hope they are not here! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI do like to reassure myself that fictional scares are strictly make-believe :)
DeleteOh my, a paranormal horror film - sounds scary to me ...lol 😉. Enjoy and wishing you a wonderful weekend! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteCurses are a distinct sub-genre, I think. It had you thinking this could really happen.
DeleteThis didn't feel like fiction to me, but I couldn't watch it all the way to the end. Too scary. I'm a lightweight, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat documentary style can really get you to thinking you're watching something that really happened. It can get under your skin!
