Eureka Entertainment have announced the theatrical release of Creepy, director Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s breath-taking psychological thriller, in selected cinemas nationwide (UK & Ireland) and Digital HD from 25th November.
Based on a novel by Yutaka Maekawa, Creepy follows ex-police detective and criminal psychologist Takakura, who moves to a quiet suburban town seeking peace and quiet, but soon begins to suspect that his neighbour is a psychopath who comes into people’s households and takes over their lives.
Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who won Best Director in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival 2015 for his elegiac drama Journey to the Shore, returns to the genre in which he made his name with this “creepy” psychological thriller. Bringing in a great ensemble cast of leading Japanese actors and actresses, Kurosawa, who also co-wrote the screenplay, has been quoted as saying: “Each actor exudes a mysterious delicacy and ferocity, which the camera has somehow been able to capture. The end result is this breath-taking thriller.”
With its gripping suspense and riveting story, Creepy marks Kurosawa’s return to the horror genre with a horrific thriller so intense that audiences around the world will shiver in fear.
