Cursed (DVD)

From the master of horror comes 'Cursed'. Wes Craven brought us 'The Hills Have Eyes' in 1977, 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' in 1984, the 'Scream' series in the 90s, and then in 2005 his directorial talent welcomed 'Cursed' to the world. Before watching this film I was greatly excited, I'm a huge fan of Wes Craven and love all his previous films I have mentioned here. He's a great director, an expert in the creation of tension and suspense. As 'Cursed' ...
...opening is powerful, it gripped me, and then the film unfolds. Set in Los Angeles, Ellie and her brother Jimmy are driving home one evening when an animal unexpectedly smashes against the windscreen. They swerve and crash into another car, knocking it off the road in the process. It's a scary situation for them and they pull over, walking across to the car that they glanced to check that everybody is okay. The car has overturned and is on its roof, ...

Review of Cursed (DVD)

Orphaned brother and sister, Jimmy and Ellie, are involved in a car accident. On trying to help the driver of the other car, they witness her being dragged away by some kind of animal. Even worse, they both receive scratches from said animal, which, Jimmy later finds out, is likely to be a werewolf. Both of them start going through some strange alterations; even worse, it appears that people involved with them are also affected. In order to get their ...
...the werewolf. But just who is the werewolf in his or her everyday guise? And even if they do find out who it is, will they be able to do anything about it? The fact that this film is directed by Wes Craven was an immediate draw - I've enjoyed most of his films on one level or another. I'm also not averse to the odd film about werewolves. Unfortunately, this 2005 film has a lot of plot flaws. It isn't a terrible film, but I'm certainly not surprised ...

****Film Only Review**** Cursed was released back in 2005, directed by Wes Craven, who also directed one of my favourite horror films, "Scream". Having loved scream, I thought I would give this a go. Plot ----- The story follows siblings Jimmy and Ellie who are accidently infected by a werewolf after they get scratched by one while trying to free a girl trapped in a car from an accident they had caused. They lost their parents in a car crash ...
...start! They start to notice changes in their bodies and behaviour, and after a bit of research, discover that not all myths are false. They have to cut the blood line to be freed from a life as a werewolf, but they do not know who turned them, or who they are really in danger of. Throughout all this we also learn that Jimmy is trying to get the attentions of Brooke, a girl he likes from school and Ellie is trying to make her relationship with Jake, ...

...wolves gives the finger. Cursed is a complete waste of your time, energy and possibly money. Wes Craven deserved better but also should have known better. The film is every bit as suckey as you may have heard. I'm glad I saw it as a part of a free rental trial. Sadly even the nice 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer can't make the film any better. Cursed looks nice on the small screen despite its bland production design. The Dolby Digital 5.1 ...
...it to the movie. Is Cursed worth any of your cash. In short I wouldn't spend a couple of quid on it, I doubt I'd spend a pound on it. You should be thankful that I have warned you about the dangers of encountering such as mess as this. ...

Review of Cursed (DVD)

...against time before they are cursed forever. I had already guessed it would be the 'guess who the killer is' scenario, or in this case guess who's the head werewolf, due to the combination of the writer and director. It starts off really frightening, with a lot of suspense and horror. Although I can't help but think it started to make a joke of itself towards the end which I felt was a shame. For example, although very funny, a werewolf gets taunted ...
