“Hontoni atta! Noroi no video” which means "Cursed video is really,Here is!", and I translate freely.
This is first video movie of most long horror fake documentary series in the world.
“Hontoni atta! Noroi no video” series has been released 63 on video and 2 movies so far.
Include the box and re-edited version, which can increase in number more!
By a hit of this series was produced in ultra-low budget, and now, in the video disc market in Japan, began to be mass produced horror documentary. Even though all of them, and have somewhere to imitate the style of this series, is no exaggeration.
A common style series is intended for the ghost image was posted from the public, that production staff survey.
The video was posted, which is available prize. People who posted are supposed to be and to be used for programs, cash will be paid, there is a method of application in the table of contents in DVD and in the video version of this story at the end.
Of course, what is needed is a real ghost video.
As ”Celebrity Paranormal Project”, scientific study of the only thing to convince viewers that there is little done for manufacturing. Being provided, almost, is only circumstantial evidence.
Still, it is scary enough.
Because, Here is two reasons.
1st of all, by the solicitation that post, as long as the staff not to reveal the truth, can not be said to be fake because all footage.
2ndly.Most of the footage appeared to be a spectacle of everyday casual Japanese. And there is a ghost that is reflected in where they do not know and I do not care.
"maybe,even your own video ever taken, and may have reflected" that.
3rdly, it has been successful in hiding the cast.
Of course, if the picture is fake.
There is a narration became very famous by this series.
”...todemo iu no darouka?” as "Why say it with …?".
On the configuration, there is this word does not fit at all.
Still, it is used this word, because there is this word is very popular.
Is it that continues to be adopted even if viewers thought "What is she saying it is just you" and.
This name can not understand speech, in other words, a person of any Japanese can not understand any language, you can enjoy the most of this series.
・Video taken by ordinary people.
・Does the ghost is caught, there is a ghost voices and inexplicable phenomenon.
If you understand these two points, should be interesting enough that you can not understand Japanese.
So, let me explain the first volume.
