"If you liked Ringu (1998), you might also enjoy Noroi: The Curse (2005)

"Few movies have trespassed into real life lore in the way Japan's Ringu and America's remake The Ring did as bookends to the turn of the century. Like the urban legends derived from Candyman, Ringu's premise of a videotape that ensures your untimely, painful death after viewing had many youngsters (and, let's face it, some timid adults) weary of what watching a film about this cursed tape could mean for their individual fates. And though it didn't infect the public consciousness so widely, 2005's Noroi: The Curse tears a page out of Ringu's playbook and turns up the terror.

An amazingly convincing mockumentary with found footage flair, we're presented with "The Curse," the unfinished passion project of documentarian Masafumi Kobayashi, who disappeared while investigating supernatural occurrences in Japan. We watch as horrors unfold through his active eyes, unveiling a paranormal conspiracy you feel you could reach out and touch, much like Sadako Yamamura (aka Samara Morgan)'s transgressive grasp through the screen within our screens."
