Japanese lo-fi horror maestro Koji Shiraishi might be best known for his postmodern 2005 found footage masterpiece “Noroi: The Curse”, but with “Occult”, the director crafts a deepy disturbing Lovecraftian horror tale, once again utilizing the faux-documentary format to great effect.
It’s a profoundly unnerving film, eerily placing the demented and supernatural within the mundanity of everyday life, as a documentary crew follows the survivors of a mysterious mass stabbing.

He begins to speculate what his role might be and as the documentary goes on, the crew slowly becomes entangled in an opaque plot cooked up by Eno, which involves an ominous ceremony supposedly demanded of him by God.
“Occult” is drenched in paranoia and filled with visions of all kinds of nightmarish,...
