Very hard to scare me as im heavily desensitized but omg it was good
Found the start very slow, enjoyed the story once it got going & the superstitions
I'm a sucker for found footage - I'll admit that upfront. And one of the reasons why I like this movie is that it commits to being a "documentary" harder than I've ever seen. A lot of celebrities and newscasters show up playing themselves. If you're from Japan or even watch a lot of Japanese reality shows, it starts to feel really authentic. I do wish the effects held up better, but that's a quibble.
Some of these reviewers are the equivalent of Influenster reviewer on Sephora. Y'all give anything a 5/5 rating. I'm being really generous with the 3.
This reminds me why I don't like found footage. especially when for no reason they have to grab the camera just to show you the "horror" lol.
