A haunting serial killer film. It's style is much like Seven, but is somewhat more disturbing because it doesn't offer any easy answers, but rather raises several interesting questions. Ones that leave you thinking long after the credits roll.

God that was one of the most overwhelmingly underwhelming movies I've seen ever, pretentious boring uninteresting crap that gets repetitively repetitive. So much potential because the concept the eerie atmosphere but everything falls apart in execution. They clearly ran out of ideas in the middle part and gave that shitty ending just to be seen as cool. A solid acting performance by the lead but god damn it his character is so shite. I don't think I've been so bored ever watching a movie, it even has the mystery tag which is one of my most favourite genres and what makes them great is the intrigue but there is none of that here, little to no horror elements and barely any thrill.

The way everything is so normal for the victims in this movie is both unsettling and fitting. The slow descent the main character falls into is also well done, and the ending is so creepy. Highly recommend to people who enjoy unconventional movies.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Cure’: 1. I’m confused and annoyed. 2. Mamiya and his stupid questions. Whether integral to the plot or not, it was equivalent to whiny kids in the backseat incessantly repeating “are we there yet?”. It got old very fast. 3. So much, maybe a bit _too_ much, left up for interpretation. As I struggle to piece together what I just watched, I simultaneously struggle to care. For what it’s worth, I wasn’t bored.

Similar to *Se7en* and *Zodiac* (two movies i'm not crazy about) so naturally this did not work for me as it's a lesser version of those two. The initial mystery was so captivating and got me fully on board. I like the atmosphere and the almost fantasy elements that spice up the usual *Zodiac*-ish r More

Inexplicable murders plague a Japanese town, conspicuous not just in their brutish commonality (each victim is finished in the same way: a broad X carved into their neck) but in the immediate presence and confused confession of a guilty party. The evidence doesn't lie - these men and women clear More

Cure, a Japanese psychological mystery-horror film

It was fantastic. It's one of the eeriest movies I have seen in a while. Then again, Japanese movies know how to do that.

And this isn't just a crime thriller, but a horror movie. The murderer in the film uses hypnosis to make people commit mu More
