Although some of the plot was lost on me, the movie was extremely well done and the overall haunting theme of it all held it all together.
Thought provoking and ambiguous are the best terms to describe Cure. Kurosawa really bends the audiences mental fortitude with the suspense.
Very interesting shot composition and overall vibe, but it just wasn’t doing it for me in story
A terrifying suspense pervades the entire film. A psychological and sociological film that is thought-provoking. Not everyone has a taste
Cure is a slow burn police procedural that finds darkness lurking around each corner and manages to create a creepy atmosphere excellently.
Really great detective story. Fans of true crime or Fincher movies will definitely love this.
This movie will leave you wondering, what are the limits to hypnotic suggestion? How do I know all of my actions are really my own?
One of the best J-horrors, & best psychological horrors of all time. Are we good people if our minds can be so easily manipulated to kill?
Good police procedural with an interesting take on the serial killer.
Slow burn, manages to keep the mystery under wraps till the very end.
