When it was announced that auteur director Kiyoshi Kurosawa
would be returning to the horror genre with his film Creepy, it was really, really hard not to get very, very excited.
Between 1997’s Cure and 2001’s Pulse, the man had crafted truly
artistic and effective horror films and it had been some time since he dabbled
in the genre. Creepy not only lives
up to the hype created by some of his previous genre outings, but it delivers
some of the most unlikely unnerving moments of his career. The film is
horrifyingly effective at developing a sense of dread and unease in its
audience and it makes for one of the most satisfying horror watches I’ve had in
a long time.
