Absolutely the worst movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I believe the movie Cursed is not a bad film. It takes a very stylized unique approach. It mixes an old horror film genre, with a new modern day look. I believe the film received negative reviews because at the time a majority of audience members didn't understand what this film was trying to accomplish. Cursed is a film straight out of the late 1970s. It captures the unique look and sense of a movie from that era, from its cinematography, to the feel of its script. Like the Scream movies, Cursed is a PG-13 horror flick, aimed at the same teenage audience it portrays on screen. Slashers like Craven's previous stalkers Ghostface or Freddy Krueger are out (although Krueger does make an amusing brief background appearance). This time the subject matter is werewolves. Brother and sister Ellie, played by Christina Ricci (Addams Family Values, Black Snake Moan) and Jimmy, played by Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Adventure land) are driving home one evening when something hits their car, causing them to spin out of control and hit another vehicle, driven by Becky, played by Shannon Elizabeth (God I miss Shannon Elizabeth). As they attempt to save Becky, trapped within her car, a monstrous form rips her free, killing Becky and injuring Ellie and Jimmy. Who let the dogs out? (Damn that was a bad pun LOL) (It's a fu#kin' Werewolf people!)This may not be Wes Craven's best film; however, it is still entertaining to some level. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson (Scream) and Wes Craven still work well together. The story does get a little predictable, and the characters are paper thin (not well rounded, or unique) Jimmy is a stereotypical geek that we've seen over and over again. Plus, I know Christina Ricci is a much better actress than what she is given to do in this film.I do believe some effort went into this film. My biggest issue is I just didn't find it to be scary, and honestly some parts are a little dull. With some rewrites, the story could have had better scares, more suspense, tension, better character development and more. So these are my final Bitchin' Buddha thoughts on Cursed. The movie knows its audience. It is a decent, fun, watchable B movie. If you enjoy those, you might enjoy this. I do believe this film could have been much better with some rewrites. I believe the film cursed earns a…6/10This review is brought to you by Boogie Buddha, and remember, don't just get down, but get Boogie. Thank you for reading/viewing, and I hope you have an amazing day as always. :)

There's no reason why Cursed couldn't have been a good movie, especially considering some of the big name talent on hand. The film certainly looks good, and if nothing else it's a slick, visually appealing movie. Once you get past the production values, though, Cursed falls apart. The script tries way too hard to be "hip" in the Scream fashion, but even if you assume that's a valid aspiration, it fails miserably. There's a lot of really silly comic relief, and if you rent this movie looking for a few good scares, forget it, they aren't here. The only real bright spot in the production is Christina Ricci, who delivers by far the best performance and tries to make her character work as something other than a joke--if only a few of her co-stars had taken a similar approach. This is more of a teen comedy of manners than a werewolf film, so if the latter is what you want, look elsewhere.

A group of teenagers fear they will change into werewolves after they are attacked. They believe they must find the original wolf and kill it in order to break the curse. Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven try and add a little bit of Scream charm to werewolf movies. Unfortunately rumours abound of studio interference. It certainly seems uneven, nervously mixing between comedy and horror. One particularly confusing moment sees a werewolf flip the bird. Eisenberg gives a performance he would later perfect for the much more complete Zombieland. The effects are jarring with neither the CGI nor costume being believable. The twist was OK as I convinced myself the ending would be as predictable as the rest. Some nice jumps, some nice jokes but a disappointing film with a lot of potential.

What a delightful little turkey. The typical flick that is so bad, it ends up being good; and one quite entertaining at that. For starters we got Christina Ricci, quite a treat to look at. The blessed girl can't be anything else but cute--she may be a great actress but who cares? --she only needs to stand in front of a camera to make for good fun. Also at her best when on the prowl in that cubicle-filled TV station, moving along in that feline demeanor of hers, sniffing anyone crossing her path, moving her undulating derrière in a lustful, quite inviting, fashion. Yum, yum. And then we have Shannon Elizabeth, the Barbara Steele of Teenage Camp, who we last see, or just her upper part, crawling on the ground, trying to get somewhere but going nowhere but to a hilari...I mean, horrifying death. Campy, campy.The plot is simple. A werewolf roams the wild near Hollywood and one night it attacks those folks involved in a 2--car accident in Mulholland Dr. killing and mutilating the driver of one--Elizabeth--and biting the occupants of the other, Lillian (Ricci) and her nerd brother Jimmy (Eisenberg). Fearing they may turn also in werewolves themselves, these last set then to find the culprit, so they may put an end to the curse that, they think, has so befallen them.The merit of Cursed is that everything in it is uniformly bad, at least mediocre or standard, and that it's also unpretentious. No artsy cinematography trying to cover for the lack of a decent plot, for bad acting or bad writing. No pretense in any of those fields, or others, so you may rest assured knowing that what you get at the beginning is the same you'll get up to the end. The camera work is no great shakes, which allows us to better focus on the bad dialogs, the cheesy SF, the lousy or non-existing characterizations, and having fun watching it all unfold into a cliché ending--note how Bow, Brooke, Zipper appear on cue for the appropriate Hollywood finale. While Ricci & Eisenberg do decent acting jobs, Jackson seems lost here; he has the same perplexed "I just woke up" expression all along, which makes him look like thinking: "I can't believe I'm in this flick, saying these things". Greer may be a good actress--that I can't say--but not for a moment she seems to believe in her character, which makes her greatly overact her scenes. As for Ventimiglia, just two words: bully & gay. Can you imagine that? If you can't, and if you are a GGs fan, just picture Jess rejecting Rory and going instead for Kirk. No wonder he seems to be here only waiting for the director to give him that lift back home and killing the time having some mischievous fun, playing a few Jess-like pranks on others, getting in the way of real actors and characters.But perhaps this is not, after all, a bad serious movie but a good spoof at the genre. What opens that possibility is that we are offered at times some likely caveats warning us that we shouldn't just take it too seriously. The best ex, and the funniest, is the episode of the finger saluting werewolf. See, Lillian & Jimmy have just survived a raging rampage of it, in some horror theme dancing club, and barely escaped an awful death when the beast has let them go at hearing the approaching police sirens. Moments later the arriving cops, unfazed at the news that the beast is actually a werewolf and that it may have yet changed its appearance to that of a particular woman--Lillian's love rival by coincidence--ask for a description. Lillian volunteers; "It's some kind of hyper PR woman, with bony ass, fat tights and baaad skin" At that very moment she--werewolf appears again in the balcony she had disappeared into, still in beastly attire, and indignantly screams at her: "Liar!" only to be riddled with bullets. Well, if you insist in taking the movie seriously after that you better stop asking Mensa for that membership application form they haven't sent you in a year.So, as there could be a fairly decent horror comedy lurking there under the guise of a poorly produced, shot, written and acted flick, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and I'll say 6.0/10, most of all because it entertained me a lot. If you consider this high...come on, I gave 7.0 to Casablanca and it didn't nearly entertain me that much.
