Cure (1997)
Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Quick Hit
Cure operates like a head-trip horror pieceāhypnotic, cold, with dread baked into every frame.
Full Take
Cure leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa keeps the tone hypnotic without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. Easy WATCH territory.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
