Post Description
Cure (1997) R2J NTSC DVD5
A wave of gruesome murders is sweeping Tokyo. The only connection is a bloody "X" carved into the neck of each of the victims. In each case the murderer is found near the victim and remembers nothing of the crime. Detective Takabe and psychiatrist Sakuma are called in to figure out the connection but their investigation goes nowhere. An odd, young man is arrested near the scene of the latest murder, who has a strange effect on everyone who comes into contact with him. Detective Takabe starts a series of interrogations to determine the man's connection with the killings.

This is one of my all-time top 10 favourite films - it has a brilliant final shot too, though it might not be to everyone's tastes.

Though this is a DVD5, it looks better than the HVE DVD9. Specifically, there are less "rainbow" artifacts, resulting in much more accurate colors. The HVE does have sharper detail, but with the addition of these artifacts the overall image quality is poor. Thanks to MonkeyStyle for his work on the comparison.
