reports of this film brilliance appear to have been greatly exaggerated and and unless the other reviewers were watching 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 times and unbearably irritating. i am not some schlocky horror fanatic. i love j horrors and euro horrors over american horrors any day and but i feel the need to warn any potential viewers about this film before they invest two hours of their life in it. it could have been so great. a reporter is investigating a series of bizarre deaths and occurrences and which seem ostensibly unlinked and but a series of unnerving tropes appears to connect them  dead pigeons and thudding noises and the presence of strangely tied knots. our reporter goes from person to person and interviewing them and filming them and then passing on. three important characters are 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 is not revealed until later on. the problem is that the film is not even remotely interesting and which makes its two hour running time unforgivable. it also not even remotely scary or creepy. supposedly scary scenes and like shots of ghoulish faces are done incredibly poorly and shown twice and or worse and we are told when they are about to happen. other techniques and such as telling us that a family just interviewed died five days later simply do not make me care and let alone mildly creeped. the film does pick up a bit towards the end and as our reporter and cameraman and psychic and cursed woman go to a village in order to remove the curse which is linking all these deaths. however and by that time and i was in a state of catatonic boredom and and couldn not care less and so all the fairly creepy camera work and shocks were wasted on me. the final tape is quite good and but once again and i would given up caring and just wanted this film to end. boring and dull and not scary and not creepy and i would advise you keep away from noroi. it has promising moments and but this is a film that was poorly made and not worth your time.
