This is "Noroi: The Curse". I had heard it was one of the scarier Japanese horrors and it lived up to expectations.
I was on edge throughout even though it wasn't one scare after another, but there are definitely some hide-your-face-behind-the-pillow moments. I didn't sleep well the night I watched this.
Pretty good for found footage. I didn't find it particularly scary, but that's probably just me being jaded about horror movies. Anyway, it wasn't a disappointment. Worth checking out for horror lovers. It's a bit long-- that's my one beef.
I don't understand how this film has the notoriety it does. It's extremely long-winded and drawn out, which does not suit its "found footage," style. Because of this, the atmosphere dies repeatedly, allowing the viewer to grow tired and bored, ruining many would-be creepy set pieces. I also felt they held back a lot. Not that I want balls-to-the-wall scares, but if you're going to go weird go all out.
