The main reason I started my free trial of Shudder was to check out a film my brother had mentioned on his blog, Hell House, LLC. It's a found footage movie that, rather just present it as a raw stream of the footage as filmed, instead is edited and presented like a documentary that has gotten a hold of the footage later, which has a few extra advantages. That one is pretty good, and I recommend you check out it, if not on Shudder then on one of the other streaming services it's on, like Prime if you have it. However, what I want to talk about is another film along those lines, a Japanese one from 2005, thus just before the real flood of found footage films began, called Noroi: The Curse.

Noroi: The Curse
Recently, I finally entered the 2010s and signed up to a streaming video service. No, not Netflix or Amazon Prime. You see, I have a pretty big backlog of unwatched DVDs and Blu Rays to go through, and I know that I went for something with libraries as big as the ones they have, chances are I'd never get to those piles, they'll still be collecting dust come next Christmas. What I decided to try was one that's horror specific, called Shudder. There's a bundle of titles on there I've been interested in for a while, but not so much that I'll need to shell out for more than a month or so to get through all I'm there for.
