Cure has an extremely famous fan in the form of Parasite director Bong Joon-ho. In 2012, he included it as part of a BFI list of films that "had the biggest impact on [his] own personal view of cinema." The film's plot follows Detective Takabe as he investigates a string of murders, where each victim has an "X" carved into their neck. The most bizarre part, however, is that the murderer is always found near the victim with no memory of what they've done. Nothing seems to connect the murders, which frustrates the detective as he tries to uncover the truth.
