The History of Horror Part 2: Cure & The Exorcist

In the second entry in our exploration of the horror genre, Matt and Eric discuss two films with similar themes: Cure and The Exorcist.

 

Cure (1997) was directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and stars Koji Yakusho and Masato Hagiwara. It follows a detective who starts to spiral out of control when a wave of gruesome murders with seemingly similar bizarre circumstances are sweeping Tokyo.

 

The Exorcist (1973) was directed by William Friedkin and stars Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair. It follows the possession and subsequent exorcism of a twelve-year-old girl.

 

Matt and Eric also discuss the latest movie news and give a weekly recommendation.
