Noroi the curse (2005)
Ichise Takashige, producer of such fright classics as Ring, Dark Water, and Ju-on, presents a thrillingly Japanese mockumentary about a TV journalist Masafumi Kobayashi who had gone missing at present, leaving behind several video tapes of his unpublished work on his latest (and the last, apparently) paranormal research.
There's none of those stereotypical long-haired ghosts but the films successfully manages to hold an incredibly eerie atmosphere till the "pleasant" ending. Though the acting was bit mediocre and there are some things that weren't explained clearly but actually I haven't any complain for that cause everything else executed quite finely.
>>: B+
Spirited Away (2001)
Amazing.

Onibaba (1964)
lust, envy, wrath and betrayal all wrapped up amazingly in this cinematic spectacle of human drama. The camera work, characterization, scores and the beautiful creepy mask all were undoubtedly excellent.
