Description

MADNESS. TERROR. MURDER.



A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet all bearing the same grisly hallmarks—leads Detective 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.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's (PULSE, TOKYO SONATA) international breakthrough eschewed the traditional vengeful spirits with long dark hair and yokai of traditional Japanese horror to delve into the philosophical abyss of existential dread. A tour de force of unconventional storytelling and hypnotic tension, CURE is a hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, where every frame is infused with uneasiness, and whispers to you in hushed tones. - Steven Landry
