As of this post, I haven't watched the full film yet, but I will watch it later. I remember when YouTube, or the internet in general, used to be a place where videos like this one is something that we completely believe as it is.

This video is the video I have been looking for on YouTube since around 2016 or 2017. Finally I found this video now. At that time I thought this was real. Now I know that this is a clip from "Ura Horror", a found footage anthology horror film by Kōji Shiraishi, released in 2008.
