Foxtrot ΘΔ🐺

not being fluent in 日本語 is screwing me over once again. the only 🧲 I found of Howling Village (2019) didn't have english subtitles and none of the subtitle tracks I tracked down worked. if I knew japanese I'd be fine but alas

holy shit Noroi: The Curse is still such a phenomenal movie. I have to sit down a minute to calm down after watching it.

going in I still remembered vaguely what the beats were but they still hit so well. I think this movie would make anyone fall in love with j-horror or found footage movies because god the storytelling is so compelling. the "holy shit" moments are set up so well that it's hard not to be enthralled in the moment, you never quite know what's happenning but having a vague idea of it is plenty, especially because when the supernatural hits it hits way harder because these were normal people caught in the middle of some horrible nightmare.

really good stuff, watch Noroi, everyone recommends it for a reason, it holds up super well on rewatches too as I've just found out.

banger music, incredible effects, genuine heartbreaking scenes, surreal comedy moments thrown in for good measure, I don't know what makes someone dislike this movie (and I've yet to meet anyone who does dislike it)

got this urge to rewatch Noroi: The Curse today. I think I'm gonna do that, that movie's incredible. highly recommend for anyone who's into horror because dear god it's just masterful work.
