Reviews for "How Noroi the Curse Became a Japanese Horror Sensation"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "Watch Noroi The Curse". I was expecting a terrifying horror movie based on all the positive reviews, but instead, I was left bored and confused. The story was extremely convoluted, and the pacing was incredibly slow. The scares were nonexistent, and the found footage style felt more like a gimmick than an effective storytelling technique. Overall, I found the film to be a complete waste of time.
2. Mark - 2 stars
"Watch Noroi The Curse" was nothing more than a mediocre found footage horror film. The storyline was unoriginal, and the jumpscares were predictable and cliché. The acting was subpar, with none of the characters standing out. The documentary-style approach seemed promising at first, but it quickly became tedious and repetitive. I expected much more from a movie with such a strong following, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
While "Watch Noroi The Curse" had a unique concept and an interesting premise, it failed to deliver a truly terrifying experience. The movie was too slow-paced, with long stretches of nothing happening. The characters were even more uninteresting, and I had trouble connecting with any of them. Additionally, the ending was underwhelming and left many unanswered questions. Overall, "Watch Noroi The Curse" had potential but failed to capitalize on it, making it a forgettable and lackluster horror film.
