Released to critical acclaim in both the East and the West, Cure was a breakthrough film for director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, a nerve shredding thriller about the hunt for a serial killer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo. A series of murders have been committed by ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their horrifying actions. Following the only link a mysterious stranger who had brief contact with each perpetrator and their victim detective Kenichi Takabe (Kôji Yakusho, 13 Assassins, Tokyo Sonata) places his own sanity on the line as he tries to end the... wave of inexplicable terror. Described as one of the greatest films of all time by Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer), Cure is a deeply unsettling masterpiece of its genre, and has shockingly been unavailable on home video in the UK until now. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Cure in a special Dual Format edition. Features: Limited Edition O-card [2000 copies First Print Run Only] 1080p presentation of the film on Blu-ray, with a progressive encode on the DVD Original Japanese Stereo audio (Uncompressed LPCM on the Blu-ray) Optional English subtitles A new video interview with critic & author Kim Newman An archival interview with director Kiyoshi Kurosawa Original theatrical trailer A collector's booklet featuring an essay by Tom Mes [show more]

Japanese horror directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. A series of murders have been committed across Tokyo, with a distinguishing mark that connects them: a bloody 'x' carved into the neck of each victim. In each case the murderer is found near the scene of the crime, but has no memory of committing it. These 'murderers' turn out to be ordinary citizens who all claim they had no control over their actions, and have each had previous interactions with the same mysterious man. But who is he, and what is this power that he seems to wield over others? Detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho) must now place his own sanity on the line in an attempt to end the wave of inexplicable terror sweeping the city.
