Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who directed Kairo (Pulse), one of the best J-horror films ever, as well as The Cure, is returning to the genre with Creepy.
Creepy is a hot market title in Berlin and is based on a novel which is inspired by several “creepy” incidents which actually happened in Japan.
“Takakura, who had previously worked as a criminal psychologist, starts to doubt his neighboring man’s real face as a serial killer.“
Here’s a longer synopsis via iMBD:
Takakura is a former detective. He receives a request from his ex-colleague, Nogami, to examine a missing family case that occurred 6 years earlier. Takakura follows Saki’s memory. She is the only surviving family member from the case. Meanwhile, Takakura and his wife Yasuko recently moved into a new home. Their neighbor, Nishino, has a sick wife and a young teen daughter. One day, the daughter, Mio, jumps into Takakura’s house and tells him that the man is not her father and she doesn’t know him at all.
