01
A Record of Sweet Murderer
Why this pick
Like Kōji Shiraishi’s Occult, it uses a disarmingly raw faux-documentary approach to make an apparently grounded investigation slide into unnerving, cosmic unease.

01
02
Noroi: The Curse
Why this pick
Its patient assemblage of interviews, broadcasts and home-video fragments builds the same escalating sense that scattered, mundane evidence is pointing toward something vast and malign.
03
Cult
Why this pick
Another Shiraishi pseudo-documentary, blending media immediacy, spiritual investigation and sudden absurdity into an energetic occult-horror experience.
04
The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Why this pick
Its documentary collage and withheld-information structure create a similarly invasive feeling of piecing together a terrifying hidden reality from compromised recordings.
05
The Medium
Why this pick
Its documentary framing gives folk spirituality a lived-in texture before the atmosphere becomes increasingly chaotic and spiritually overwhelming.
