The promotional trailer for the movie "Noroi: The Curse" showcases a chilling and eerie atmosphere that grips the viewers from the very beginning. The trailer effectively utilizes a combination of suspenseful music, quick-cut editing, and disturbing imagery to create a sense of unease and anticipation. One of the main ideas highlighted in the trailer is the presence of a mysterious curse that haunts the characters and the haunting visuals that accompany it. From the outset, the trailer hints at the terrifying consequences of encountering this curse, as we witness a series of unexplained and supernatural events unfold. Shots of dark, isolated locations, strange symbols, and ghostly figures contribute to an atmosphere of dread and terror. Notably, the trailer incorporates found footage elements, adding an extra layer of realism and believability to the story.
We discuss the way the film kind of re-invents the found footage approach by using still photographs that were shot on the night of the massacre. We talk about the stinger at the end that shouldn’t have worked but absolutely did, and briefly discuss the nature of whatever turns people into whatever attacked that night.
We give a summary of the film, and Justin talks about how the movie made him feel genuinely unsafe and that it s a perfect example of the found footage mockumentary horror film. Justin talks about seeing the film The Invitation in theatres that pales in comparison to the identically named 2015 film, the film The Watcher, as well as the upcoming Shudder original Deadstream , the new Shudder original Saloum.

We start with Noroi: The Curse. We give a summary of the film and discuss some of the more upsetting parts of the film.
Justin talks about how efficiently and insidiously the film connected all the seemingly unconnected parts and how upsetting it was watching a horrific greater picture emerge.
We talk about how the film cleverly and effectively avoids all the tropes of found footage films.
We discuss the fatalistic element of the film, and the strange horrifically absurd nature of the film that defies any attempt at explanation.
Up next is Savageland. We give a summary of the film, and Justin talks about how the movie made him feel genuinely unsafe and that it’s a perfect example of the “found footage/mockumentary” horror film. We talk about the nature of the threat of the film (vampires vs. zombies) and the few elements of the film that we felt didn’t entirely work.
We discuss the way the film kind of re-invents the found footage approach by using still photographs that were shot on the night of the massacre. We talk about the stinger at the end that shouldn’t have worked but absolutely did, and briefly discuss the nature of whatever turns people into whatever attacked that night.
We talk about how the film answers the question of “why is this being filmed?” that must be asked of every found footage film.
