X Marks Your Death

Title:  Cure
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  This movie was directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa who did the Japanese version of Pulse that inspired the Veronica Mars U.S. version. 
Introduction:  I got this movie from my local library. 
Location:  Various locations throughout Japan.   Yeah, they had a budget. 
Plot:  Along the lines of Se7en, random string of murders is being committed and it is up to some police to solve it.   The one thing that ties all of these murders together?  The killer leaves an X across the throat of his victims.
Acting:  It’s hard to determine acting skills whilst reading subtitles.
Production:  It looks like it was in theaters and it probably was.
Sex/Nudity:  There is a naked corpse or two, but you know, hardly anything sexy.
Special Effects:  They look good.  There is a decent amount of bloodshed in this movie, and the markings made on the body look good as well.
Overall Verdict:  Not so much a horror movie as a thriller, this movie does get the job done and is worth watching if you don’t mind the subtitles.
