CURE (1997) was a breakthrough film for directorKiyoshi Kurosawa (THE GUARD FROM UNDERGROUND) described as one of the greatest films of all time by Bong Joon-ho (PARASITE, THE HOST) and a deeply unsettling masterpiece of its genre.
A nerve shredding thriller about the hunt for a serial killer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo, where a series of murders have been committed by ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their horrifying actions.
Following the only link – a mysterious stranger who had brief contact with each perpetrator and their victim – detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho,THE WOODSMAN AND THE RAIN) places his own sanity on the line as he tries to end the wave of inexplicable terror.

Slow creeping horror.
Cure starts out as a crime thriller with a mysterious twist that evolves into something else... Sometimes the long play really works, the time taken in this movie adds so much to the final product. That atmosphere that slowly creeps in, the sinister tones that rear their head as revelations unfold all work with an expert finesse that bring you to a conclusion you may have expected but weren't ready for.
Cure was even better the second time. In fact, it actually made it creepier knowing where it was leading and having a better grasp on the themes. Picked up the Eureka 4K, which looks incredible and has some great bonus features.
