folk reporter videotape

It's another horror movie shot with a pseudo-documentary technique. Although the filmmakers have always said that this is a supernatural documentary, please, only those ghosts with special effects for fifty cents, I believe you have ghosts. As for some topics other than the film, it contains more or less fakes made by the filmmakers to create momentum. Anyway, I didn't feel scared at all after watching it. The whole process of DV and filming made me a little dizzy, and the variety show clips interspersed in it were inexplicably a little joyful. I remembered the super change I watched when I was a child. This small window of Japanese variety shows is a bit classic.

In fact, the originality of the film is quite good. It starts with a folk reporter and tells a legend of a local ghost sacrifice. The folk customs of shrines like Little Japan are still a bit cautious. When I was a child, I felt scared when I saw geishas wearing heavy makeup, but after all, it is not Japanese who have no sense of substitution, so this kind of documentary looks very strange. Fake. And it puts too much emphasis on the authenticity of the documentary. It doesn't have the usual ghost movies to scare you, but the overall sound effect is not bad, and the sound analysis is also quite fun. In terms of actors, the big fat reporter said that you did not lose weight by running around all day long. Even if you did not run thin and meet so many scary people, you should be scared to lose weight. The female protagonist's dimpled girl is very cute when she laughs, and most of the scary scenes are also when she is suddenly convulsed, but it is not clear why she was chosen by the curse. The photographer has only one shot in the whole process. Usually, this kind of person is the most dedicated in pseudo-documentary horror films. Even if he is afraid, he will pick up the camera. If it is real, it is difficult to do it. The one that impressed me the most was the psychic medium tin foil man. He was like a monkey, his whole body was so itchy, why didn't he scratch it a few times. He was wearing tin foil, which was probably because he received too much information for reflection, and he was possessed in the end because he did not wear it. Tinfoil and changed into pajamas.

In the middle of the dull rhythm, I accidentally fell asleep once. In general, the creativity is good, but the degree of shock is not enough. If you are interested in Japanese folklore, you can watch it. If you are an old horror movie driver, you should watch it again.

    It wasn't a documentary.

    Pseudo-documentary-style ghost movie, but the plot is very good.
