SUNY Oswego's sport mascot is known as "Oswald the Great and Powerful Oz." He is a larger-than-life figure who brings energy and excitement to every sporting event on campus. Oswald's presence is felt throughout the community as he attends games, pep rallies, and other campus events. With his vibrant personality and iconic costume, Oswald has become a beloved symbol of school spirit at SUNY Oswego. One of the main reasons Oswald is so popular is because he represents the university's values and traditions. As a mascot, Oswald embodies the strength, passion, and determination of the SUNY Oswego community.
Noroi is a found footage style fake documentary, which follows a journalist as he investigates several strange occurrences, eventually linking it all together. I don't normally like this whole found footage style, but here the format is utilised very well in the way that it is used to build a highly engaging mystery. The bulk of the film sees the lead character following clues and uncovering more elements of the story. It's quite complex, but really easy to follow as the film holds your hand as we go through the central narrative. This also disguises the fact that not all that much actually happens in the film! But because we are made to feel like part of the action, it…
I don t normally like this whole found footage style, but here the format is utilised very well in the way that it is used to build a highly engaging mystery. If I have one complaint, it s that as great as Noroi The Curse is putting it on Shudder alongside horror classics like Night of the Living Dead and Halloween also gives the game away.
As a mascot, Oswald embodies the strength, passion, and determination of the SUNY Oswego community. He serves as a constant reminder of the school's commitment to excellence in both academics and athletics. Another reason Oswald is embraced by students, athletes, and fans is because of his ability to unite the community.
Noroi: The Curse
Noroi: The Curse constructs a whole world to inhabit out of paranormal vhs documentaries, psychick children, tabloid news, the remnants of drowned witch villages, and the powerful demonologies which animate the central mythos. It is best to watch Noroi: The Curse by knowing little or nothing about it save that it is a fake paranormal vhs doc, the last of its line, as the researcher responsible has disappeared after uncovering a story too vast to be fit onto vhs cassettes. The only other logical comparison to this movie in scope and folkloric jolt would be The Blair Witch Project, yet where that movie felt impressionist, ambient and sketchy (in the best possible way), Noroi: The Curse brings the weight of…
This movie expects me to be scared when it shows me randomly arranged knots, and I’m like, bitch I’ve been untangling Christmas lights every December for the past 40 years, I’ve been to knot hell and back.
Took me long enough to see this. Pure, smothering dread. Grainy found footage like this is just perfect for an atmosphere of ghastly dreams, a spell descending on our minds. Fucking love the evil synth soundtrack, too.
KA GU TA BAReally glad I watched this movie after a week of binging really poor quality episodes of Iron Chef - Japan on YouTube, because here is a horror film that is seemingly cobbled together from similar low quality Japanese TV shows where there's always at least one actress and a fortune teller or psychic on the panel. This is probably the most genuinely frightening found footage horror movie I've ever seen. You could call it a slow burn, but it's pretty much deeply unsettling from the very beginning and then steadily builds layer upon layer of dread with almost nothing. Very impressive.
Pretty remarkable work. I can see why people might not like this, mostly because the form and structure is so well realized in its video verisimilitude that, if you're not in on the paranormal investigator VHS vibe (complete with doom-and-gloom music added in post), it's undeniable that this is incredibly dry. For me, though, that's the charm and strength of it. It's the found footage equivalent of reading a investigative report- it's long, dry and dense, but it tells the story so completely (very rarely do you see a horror movie that still manages to scare despite explaining everything) and in such unnecessary detail that I couldn't help but be sucked in entirely. If that doesn't do it for you, you probably won't love it, cuz the form's the main draw here. The story is good, certainly, but it's the unwavering commitment to the structure that really sells it.
I think all these creepy Japanese horror films are made as an effort by the Japanese Government to keep tourists out. I think the Japanese Government is also behind Lost in Translation, Enter the Void, The Ring, and all those classic Samurai movies. "Come to Japan!" "Get your heart broken, get yourself shot by a drug dealer, cursed by a dead girl, and then finished off by a vengeful samurai." "Enjoy your stay!" Gee, sounds like a great place to go. But for real. Noroi or, The Curse is a little horror flick that released in 2005 but has seen a steady increase in popularity in the West since its release. The increase in popularity is earned because Noroi is…
I already love found footage horror but this was really special. A cut above. The dissonance between the creeping morbid sense of dread and the psychotically bright and optimistic television segments is genuinely disturbing. For fans of the -shall we say- scary
I don't mind a slow build-up, but it has to lead somewhere. For me this only lead to boredom and disinterest.
This found footage ghost story starts out interesting enough, has a couple of well crafted scenes which are pretty spooky, but the plot unfolds at such a slow pace that it never manages to maintain that suspense. They also managed to create a ludicrously annoying mentally challenged psychic who annoyed me quite a bit.
I feel there is a better film hiding in there somewhere, it does show potential, especially in the very final scene, which is creepy as hell. But that is unfortunately a classic case of too little too late.
Spooktober III: The Haunting of the Blood October It is a crime that this film has not been given more attention, as it is not just the best of the Found Footage movies released in the early 2000s, but also the best of practically all of the movies in this sub-genre. In the same vein as Ringu and other J-Horror films, this film is unsettling thanks to its effective combination of the genre's standard jump scares with a more insidious psychological undertone. The whole case is shrouded in a harrowing and entertaining mystery that had me hooked from the get-go. The fact that the plot occasionally goes to unexpected and disturbing places just adds to the tension and intrigue. Much…

Noroi feels like THEE FIRST truly post-modern horror movie where talking head newscasts and faded paintings and scholarly lectures and VHS demonic rituals and spooked interviewees and garbage gameshow television and haunted sound analyses and digital ghosts hidden in Mini DV cameras cohere and pull into focus an underlying dread. Like a paranoiac connecting a web of disparate media on cork board, Noroi reveals something dark and dangerous hiding behind the 21st century every day. The patchwork found footage really gives the movie the vibe of a cursed cassette tape not meant for home viewing. It wormed under my skin and kept crawling as I walk through my house at night to grab water. Was that a specter materializing out of the corner of my eye? Is that thump in the dark my cross-eyed cat or something more sinister? Has the curse latched on to me?

Reviews for "Iconic Moments: The SUNY Oswego Sport Mascot's Memorable Appearances"
1. John - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the Suny Oswego sport mascot. First of all, the costume looked outdated and unappealing. It seemed worn out and there were visible patches on it. Additionally, the mascot's movements were stiff and awkward, not at all energetic or engaging. It just felt like a person in a costume going through the motions. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and the mascot definitely needs some improvement.
