An investigation team decided to pursue a murder case that happened in 1992. A video recording of the murder was said to be kept underground for the brutality of it. Snippets of the video were shown to us viewers. A reflection in the video led the team to another murder case.
In the Marui Case, a boyfriend murdered his girlfriend and claimed not to remember anything. The video recording of the tragic event was said to be haunted ala The Ring and whoever watches it will suffer tragedy. In the Ami Case, a boy was said to murder his mother and younger sister.
Reviews and comments promised that the movie was scary, chilly and there I was, bored to death. Nowadays, most scary movies depended on jump scares and there's none of that. The movie sometimes lingers on something and I was thinking something's going to jump on the screen only for it to move to another shot. I do have to applaud the director for sticking to the documentary style. It had the feel of Cannibal Holocaust in which viewers may believe that it's from a real event. For me, Marui Video took inspiration from lots of other movies. There's The Ring, The Grudge, The Cannibal Holocaust, and so on.
I was waiting for the "a video evidence of a very brutal and graphic murder" which was said to be shown in the last 20 minutes of the movie and the story was built up towards it and yet, I wasn't impressed. Why? Because we had seen snippets of the videos. So, there's nothing much to show after it.
