Noroi
Noroi is a Japanese flick about a journalist discovering some really weird shit going on, all stemming from a ritual from a village now submerged under a dam.

Noroi was a movie I watched. I ...don't remember much of it because my brain said "this is so boring I'm gunna think about unicorns shitting rainbows and Sheena fucking Sheera." However, I might have just been watching on a bad day where nothing would have pleased me.

Have you watched it? What did you think, if so?

I watched it. It freaked the crap out of me. The guy did things with incorporating the film itself into the story that you couldn't trust the movie to stay on that side of the lens.

Hmm, I think I am either generally made of fail, or that was just a bad movie watching day.

Thing is, my startle reflex is hair trigger. Loud noises, lights, movements, pretty much any and everything triggers my startle reflex. But the startle reflex and being scared/freaked aren't connected per se.

In retrospect I don't think many scary movies (be they psychological, shocker, etc) actually scare me. Definitely the psychological ones get the closest, as those are the ones that sneak up on you. The movie ends and you're all fine and sitting there...and then your brain says "yeah, but what about such-n-such" and then all things are suddenly suspect or your mind goes over all parts of the movie in a new way. That's a great thing.

But hmmm I can't remember a movie I've seen in the last few years that actually freaked me out. That is sad. I want that feeling of "what was that?!" Damnit!

Apparently you just can't shut me up. Go me.

I liked it, though it freaked me the fuck out. I like horror movies and this one was a pretty good mockumentary, imo. If you find more, I hope you post them. :)

If I ever do, I most likely shall. ^^
