Cure | Creating The Scariest Non-Horror Film

Remember the ’ghost walk’ scene of the Japanese horror film, Kairo, directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa? Well, here’s a film from him that I think is his best, and the scariest, despite being closer to a mystery thriller than a straight up horror film: Cure. Why is Cure so scary, and what is it that Kiyoshi Kurosawa does that makes all his films so uncomfortable and surreal? Let’s take a look at his world building techniques and especially a particular scene from Cure that freaked me out more than I could handle the first time I watched it. /// Music download: Patreon: Paypal: Instagram: @ spikima Merch: Merch 2: Your support helps with keeping the channel running.
