I love Pulse and Cure but haven’t seen any of his other stuff! Got any recommendations?
Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors alongside Cronenberg, and one of the things that strikes me about both is how they share a fun dichotomy to their oeuvres: the horrors and the dramas.

For more Kurosawa scares, I had plenty of fun with Creepy. The subliminal themes take what feels like a decent but standard thriller and give it that KK edge.

Charisma was one of my earliest that I've been meaning to revisit because it was super heady for an eco-horror, but I liked it.

Sweet Home is also a fun haunted house jam that basically birthed the Biohazard (Resident Evil) video game series, so if you want 80's horror cinema a la Kurosawa, def seek that out!

On the existential drama end, I'd suggest Journey to the Shore, Tokyo Sonata, and Before We Vanish for a fun yet distinct range.
