    Noroi sets itself apart from other J-Horror films because of its long duration and sizeable cast. Part of the ensemble comprises several celebrity cameos, some involving actors playing themselves. Marika Matsumoto (actress and the voice behind Rikku in the Final Fantasyvideo games) has a major role as herself; she starts sleepwalking and making noo...

    Director Koji Shiraishi garnered some buzz in 2003 when he directed Honto ni atta, a horror anthology starring well-known Japanese actors and pop stars. Noroi: The Curse became a reality two years later, only with the help of Takashige Ichise. Ichise himself was a well-known figure in Japanese horror as he had also producedJu-On: The Grudge, and Ri...

    Initially, Noroidid not receive a widespread international following because of a limited domestic release. Takashige Ichise's production company, Oz, suffered from bankruptcy, making it hard to promote or distribute the film to other countries. Kadokawa Pictures USA attempted for an American re-release in 2009 but this company too went bankrupt. F...

    If fans observed the film carefully, they will find that pigeons play a recurring role all through the story. In one of the initial supernatural cases of demonic possession in Noroi, viewers see dead pigeons surrounding a lady's house. Even when actress Marika Matsumoto gets possessed by demons, pigeons start flying towards her house's windows and ...

    A usual trope in found-footage horror that's added to make the footage look realistic is making the camera all shaky and blurry in scenes of panic, horror, and action. But funnily, protagonist Kobayashi's camera seems to be in a perfect handheld mode always. RELATED: 10 Scariest Found Footage Horror Movies Streaming on Tubi You've Never Seen There ...

    Asian and African (and sometimes European) characters in mythical or supernatural films are often labeled as "exotic" or "mystical," and offered roles of sorcerers, gypsies, black magic practitioners, and the like. To add to the stereotypes, it is shown that people from these cultures are the reason behind spells and curses haunting everyone. From ...

    The film's limited release meant a less-than-instant promotion strategy for the rest of the world, which would soon praise Noroi for being one of the best Japanese found-footage horror films. Writer Julian Singleton revealed in an essay on Cinapsethat he tried to add to the film's reputation in an interesting way. He wrote: "In earlier years, I cre...

    Some die-hard fans have been uploading Noroi: The Curse on YouTube time and again, and as expected, the movie gets blocked or taken down. In the 2010s, Noroi's subtitled copies were sold through third-party DVD websites, which is no longer common practice today. Fans who want to see the film for the first time or rewatch it shouldn't feel dishearte...

    Director Kôji Shiraishi seems to have a penchant for drawing from urban legends like he does in Noroi, The Grudge, and Ring. 2009's Teketeke, for instance, heavily relies on narratives about the Japanese urban legend known as the Teke Teke, a schoolgirl that haunts others after her untimely death. The 2007 film Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman, is ba...

    Even though Noroi: The Curse is certainly Kôji Shiraishi's magnum opus, the filmmaker went on to direct other horror classics too. Among the most significant of these was 2009's Occult, which again was shot like a horror mockumentary. He has been experimenting and reinterpreting the style time and again. In 2011, he even directed a 'found footage e...

    • Maria Goretti was a child. Maria was just shy of 12 years old when she was stabbed to death. She was well below the “age of adulthood” even in her times (the 1890s).
    • Her attacker was not attracted to her. Alessandro Serenelli, the man who abused her and killed Maria, was not attracted to her at all, nor did he find her beautiful.
    • The abuse was ongoing before Maria’s death. Alessandro often made advances against Maria and threatened to kill her if she told her mother. This is a common tactic abusers use to frighten their victims and isolate them from others, making the victims more vulnerable and easier to prey upon.
    • Maria’s mother knew and did nothing. Maria begged her mother never to leave her alone, but her mother shrugged Maria off. There is a story that one time, Maria and her mother were doing chores when Alessandro called for Maria to mend his shirt.
