Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
1997, Japan, 111 min
Japanese w/ English subtitles

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s spellbinding international breakthrough established him as one of the leaders of the emerging new wave of Japanese horror while pushing the genre into uncharted realms of philosophical and existential exploration. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet bearing the same grisly hallmarks—leads Detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho) into a labyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac (Masato Hagiwara) who may be evil incarnate. Awash in a mood of hushed, hypnotic dread, Cure is a tour de force of psychological tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind. 

Reviews

With its gift for infusing moodiness into every frame, Kurosawa’s moody, unnerving film continues to spook us even after the lights have gone on.
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
The single best horror film I've seen this century.
- Nick Schager, Lessons in Darkness
Takes the typical detective-hunting-a-serial-killer and twists it into a creepy, enigmatic bit of psychological terror that by its final ambiguous scene leaves you truly chilled.
- Kim Morgan, The Oregonian
