Cure (1997) - ft. The Revisionist's Almanac & 1001 by 1

This week, we’re digging into one of the most quietly terrifying films to ever come out of Japan: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. Often called a cornerstone of the J-horror wave, Cure delivers dread not through jump scares, but through mood, ambiguity, and an unsettling sense that something unknowable is quietly rotting beneath the surface.

We break down how the film uses hypnotic pacing, minimalist horror, and a killer who barely lifts a finger to create one of the most psychologically disturbing experiences of the ’90s. From its bleak portrayal of violence to its refusal to give clean answers, Cure feels less like a mystery and more like a slow infection of the mind — and we’re here to talk about why it works so well.
