If you loved Cure, try Creepy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Creepy has roughly 3.6× fewer votes than Cure — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cure, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Creepy is
A fugue of autumn in an empty lecture hall, a single coffee cup left on the desk. The professor who quit so the world would stop hating him nonetheless traces the same predator’s script in student essays. When a colleague slides a cold case across the table, the past’s shadow lengthens further. Kiyoshi Kurosawa folds quiet dread into genre like an origami knife.
