Reviews for "The Legacy of "Noroi the Curse": How It Redefined Japanese Horror Cinema via Streaming"
1. John Smith - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Noroi the curse." I found the storyline to be extremely convoluted and hard to follow. The found footage style made it even more confusing, as the constant shaky camera made it difficult to see what was happening. Additionally, I didn't find the scares to be very effective. The movie relied too heavily on jump scares, which felt cheap and predictable. Overall, I didn't find "Noroi the curse" to be a memorable or enjoyable horror film.
2. Sarah Johnson - 2.5 stars
I had high hopes for "Noroi the curse," but I ultimately found it to be quite underwhelming. While the concept of a documentary-style horror movie intrigued me, the execution fell flat. The pacing was extremely slow, and it took far too long for any real scares to happen. Even then, the scares were more on the subtle and atmospheric side, which I didn't find particularly creepy or satisfying. The lack of character development also made it hard for me to become invested in the movie. Overall, "Noroi the curse" left me wanting more from a horror film.
3. Michael Thompson - 2 stars
I really struggled to get through "Noroi the curse." The movie felt overly long and dragged on endlessly. The plot was scattered and messy, and I often found myself confused about what was happening. The characters were also quite unlikeable and lacked any depth, making it hard for me to care about their fates. The scares were few and far between, with most of the movie consisting of slow build-up that didn't pay off in a satisfying way. "Noroi the curse" simply didn't live up to the hype for me, and I wouldn't recommend it to other horror fans.
4. Emily Davis - 1 star
I'm sorry, but "Noroi the curse" was a complete waste of my time. The movie was filled with boring and uninteresting characters, and the story was incredibly confusing. I didn't understand what was happening for the majority of the film, and by the time things started to become clearer, I had already lost interest. The scares were lackluster and failed to elicit any sort of fear or excitement from me. Overall, "Noroi the curse" was a forgettable and tedious experience, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a good horror movie.
