The Most Terrifying Crime Film Ever Made

Description:

Today we'll take an in-depth look at a sequence from Cure (1997), the iconic Japanese crime film directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, one of the leading figures of the J-Horror movement. In my opinion, this is the most terrifying crime film ever made without ever resorting to shock value. Instead, its insidious use of editing and sound design play with our perception of the world presented on screen, challenging our reason, which we so heavily rely on, not just to consume media, but in every aspect of modern life. Mise en Scene is a channel dedicated to in-depth scene analysis from movies, tv shows, and videogames.
