This unique presentation adds to the immersive experience of the film, making it feel more like a real investigation unfolding before our eyes. The main plot revolves around Kobayashi's investigation into the curse of Noroi, which is said to be a malevolent spirit that brings tragedy and death to those who become involved with it. Kobayashi becomes entangled in a web of supernatural occurrences and strange phenomena as he tries to uncover the truth behind the curse.

The Movie Noroi The Curse is a film-within-a-film, in that the framing sequence a matter of a few minutes introduction and ending is presenting the final work of a well known journalist and paranormal expert, Masafumi Kobayashi Jin Muraki. It sounds like a lot and it is but here the films length actually works for it, allowing all these disparate threads to slowly weave together, forming a tapestry of unsettling events and people.
Kobayashi becomes entangled in a web of supernatural occurrences and strange phenomena as he tries to uncover the truth behind the curse. Throughout the film, Kobayashi encounters various characters who are connected to the curse in some way. These characters include a psychic medium, a woman who claims to be cursed, a cult leader, and a mysterious young girl with supernatural abilities.

Reviews for "Haunted monitors: The curse of Monitor Noroi and similar tales from around the world"
1. Jane Doe - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Monitor noroi the curse". The storyline felt disjointed and lacked coherence. The characters were underdeveloped and I couldn't connect with any of them. The scares were predictable and I found myself bored halfway through the film. Overall, it felt like a wasted opportunity for a promising horror film.
2. John Smith - 1/5 stars - "Monitor noroi the curse" was a complete waste of time. The acting was wooden and unconvincing. The plot was confusing and made no sense. The scares were cheap and relied too heavily on jump scares, which felt more annoying than actually frightening. I regret watching this film and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Laura Johnson - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Monitor noroi the curse" but sadly, it fell flat. The pacing was extremely slow, making it difficult to stay engaged in the story. The special effects were mediocre at best and failed to create any sense of suspense or horror. The ending was unsatisfying and left me feeling unfulfilled. Overall, it was a forgettable film that failed to deliver on its potential.
4. Mark Thompson - 3/5 stars - I wasn't impressed with "Monitor noroi the curse". While it had some eerie moments, they were overshadowed by a convoluted plot that was difficult to follow. The characters lacked depth and their actions often felt forced and illogical. The overall execution of the film felt amateurish and left much to be desired. It had potential, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations.
