Episode 55: Cure (1997)

This week the kids discuss the 1997 Japanese classic, Cure, by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. But first! They discuss L.A. finance, Jane Fonda, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Ernest Dickerson, Billy Zane, William Sadler, the weird career of Dennis Miller, Disclosure, The Net, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Columbo, Robert Culp, Straw Dogs, Video Archives, The Loved One, and more.

From Wiki: “Cure (キュア, Kyua) is a 1997 Japanese psychological thriller film written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, starring Kōji Yakusho, Masato Hagiwara, Tsuyoshi Ujiki and Anna Nakagawa. The story follows a detective investigating a string of gruesome murders where an X is carved into the neck of each victim, and the murderer is found near the victim of each case and remembers nothing of the crime. It is considered a progenitor of the explosion of Japanese horror media in the late 1990s and early 2000s, preceding other releases like Hideo Nakata's Ring and Takashi Shimizu's Ju-On: The Grudge.[1]”

Episode 57: Eyes Without a Face (1960)

Today on Bloodhaus, everyone’s mom hates Don’t Look in the Basement! Anyway, the ghouls discuss arthouse classic, 1960’s Eyes Without a Face (Les Yeux sans visage.) But first! Lindsay Anderson (The Sporting Life, If, Britannia Hospital), I Saw What You Did, Paul Thomas Anderson (The Master, Magnolia, Phantom Thread, Boogie Nights, Licorice Pizza, Inherent Vice, Punch Drunk Love), Guy Ritchie (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrel, Madonna’s Swept Away), Oceans 12, Snatch, Smokin’ Aces, Bullet Train, The Wrath of Man, Josh Hartnett supremacy, Skinamarink, fake film grain, the trailer for Robert Altman’s Images.

From wiki: “Eyes Without a Face (French: Les yeux sans visage) is a 1960 French-language horror film co-written and directed by Georges Franju. A French-Italian co-production, the film stars Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli. Based on the novel of the same name by Jean Redon, it revolves around a plastic surgeon who is determined to perform a face transplant on his daughter, who was disfigured in a car accident. During the film's production, consideration was given to the standards of European censors by setting the right tone, minimizing gore and eliminating the mad scientist character. Although Eyes Without a Face was cleared by censors, its release in Europe caused controversy nevertheless. Critical reaction ranged from praise to disgust.”
