The 21st century's most chilling films
Here
Let’s begin with ‘a bow’ to journalism, shall we? A visceral exercise in investigative journalism unfolds in filmmaker Kōji Shiraishi’s mind-breaking mockumentary found-footage horror, Noroi: The Curse. Stitching together fragments of information — footage from weird reality television shows, pigeons crashing into windows, knots tied on ropes, a baby’s cries, and so on — a journalist reverse-engineers how a curse born of religious sacrilege consumes one victim after another. Poetry-in-horror-movie writing, to say the least.
