Koji Shiraishi

Director

Japanese film director known for Noroi and for working in horror with mockumentary/found-footage approaches.

Known particularly for the horror film Noroi, which uses handheld and mockumentary techniques to build atmosphere; reviews praise its terrifying scenes but note issues with mockumentary credibility.

The available review praises Noroi's atmosphere, handheld cinematography and truly frightening scenes, especially early on and at the ending. It criticises the film's loss of mockumentary credibility and some contrived characters. Overall recommended to watch in darkness for full effect.

For:Fans of atmospheric horror and found-footage/mockumentary films.

 Shot with a handheld camera, "Noroi" can be classified as a mockumentary, that is, a fake (?) documentary that shows us the alleged search for the existence of paranormal presences, particularly the legend of Kagutaba.
