report of this film brilliance appear to have be greatly exaggerated and and unless the other reviewer be watch a different movie and i fail to see how anyone can find this film anything other than dull and unscary and uncreepy and overlong and and at time and unbearably irritate . i be not some schlocky horror fanatic . i love j horror and euro horror over american horror any day and but i feel the need to warn any potential viewer about this film before they invest two hour of their life in it . it could have be so great . a reporter be investigate a series of bizarre death and occurrence and which seem ostensibly unlinked and but a series of unnerve trope appear to connect them dead pigeon and thud noise and the presence of strangely tie knot . our reporter go from person to person and interview them and film them and then pass on . three important character be among this jumble of people and a young and shy psychic girl and an immensely irritating and insane psychic man and and a crazy old woman and her boy and whose importance be not reveal until later on . the problem be that the film be not even remotely interesting and which make it two hour run time unforgivable . it also not even remotely scary or creepy . supposedly scary scene and like shot of ghoulish face be do incredibly poorly and show twice and or bad and we be tell when they be about to happen . other technique and such a tell u that a family just interview died five day later simply do not make me care and let alone mildly creep . the film do pick up a bit towards the end and a our reporter and cameraman and psychic and cursed woman go to a village in order to remove the curse which be link all these death . however and by that time and i be in a state of catatonic boredom and and couldn not care less and so all the fairly creepy camera work and shock be waste on me . the final tape be quite good and but once again and i would give up care and just want this film to end . boring and dull and not scary and not creepy and i would advise you keep away from noroi . it have promising moment and but this be a film that be poorly make and not worth your time .
