Incantation is a Taiwanese curse film told through a mother's own camera and documentary-style footage, and it talks straight to the person watching.
If its religious rituals and creeping curse got to you, these films give you more fake documentaries about curses, cults and old beliefs, many of them from Japan, Korea and Thailand.
