“I want to know the truth. Even when that truth is a terrible thing.”
★★★☆ Noroi (Curse) is both a fine horror story and an incisive satire of what passes for Japanese popular journalism. Eschewing the usual amateur, consumer-grade technical trappings of found footage horror, Kouji Shiraishi has instead crafted a highly polished documentary-style picture: the story of a professional journalist in pursuit of the truth.
