Released directly to video in 2005, Noroi (呪い, literally "Curse") is a Japanese supernatural horror film disguised as a documentary. Unlike mainstream Hollywood ghost stories, Noroi adopts a pseudo-reality approach. The film follows a fictional paranormal investigator named Masafumi Kobayashi (Jin Muraki), who is working on a documentary series about demonology and psychic phenomena.

The plot begins with a simple investigation into a strange noise coming from a neighbor's apartment. It quickly spirals into a labyrinthine conspiracy involving ancient rituals, a missing psychic child, a legendary demon called Kagutaba, and a mysterious mask that seems to warp reality itself.
