Senritsu Kaiki Kowasugi File 01: Operation Capture the Slit-Mouthed Woman (2012)
Phew, what a mouthful of a title. 😅
This is another one of found footage enthusiast Koji Shiraishi's more-than-creepy mockumentaries. It met my expectations (which were reasonably high!) and even exceeded them a bit.
It's very similar to Noroi in style, well-made and pretty interesting all along. Even if Shiraishi doesn't have a big budget for his features, he still makes them work fine in that low-key atmospheric way. This first film in the series revolves around the Kuchisake-onna phenomenon and fleshes it out a bit, just enough for you to remain intrigued but never over-explaining its subject. It's also got some real creepy moments throughout.
I'm definitely continuing with the series and really looking forward to it after such a strong start.
