When you consider its unfortunate production history, Cursed turned out surprisingly well as a werewolf thriller that horror buffs will appreciate. It's hardly the disaster critics made it out to be, but extensive rewriting, reshooting, recasting, and lengthy delays in production and release (including the elimination of R-rated gore to earn a PG-13 rating) clearly took their toll. The result is a fun but flawed monster-show that begins when a young talk-show producer (Christina Ricci) and her teenaged brother (Jesse Eisenberg) are bitten by a werewolf, setting the stage for a horror-in-Hollywood scenario that reunites director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson, creators of the Scream franchise. What could have been a classic horror comedy is instead a fairly solid, if unremarkable, exercise in Los Angeles lycanthropy, featuring werewolf makeup by Rick Baker (combined with CGI transformation effects, of course) and some of Williamson's snappy dialogue and trademark pop-culture references. The title of Cursed doubles as a description of this movie's ultimate fate, but in a market filled with straight-to-video horror fodder, it's anything but a lost cause. The supporting cast includes Shannon Elizabeth, Portia de Rossi and Joshua Jackson, so genre aficionados should definitely check it out. --Jeff Shannon

Cursed is a disappointing, formulaic horror movie (complete with ample references to classic horror films that did not use this formula) that highlights once again that Wes Craven somewhere in the 90s ushered any real talent he had out the door.
Looking at the production history should be the first clue to what to expect out of this film. A handful of actors dropped out, after already having shot scenes, requiring on the fly re-writes and re-shoots causing the movie to be delayed at ... Read More

Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) and Ellie (Christina Ricci) are a pair of orphaned siblings living in Hollywood. Jimmy is still in high school and a frequent target for a jock (Milo Ventimiglia)'s homophobic slurs. Ellie is an intern for the Craig Kilborn show (this film isn't dated at all). One night while driving home on Mulholland Drive they get into a car accident and in the ensuing chaos both get bitten by a large animal. Jimmy believes it to be a werewolf but both Ellie and the cops think it's his ... Read More

I love a good werewolf story. Remus Lupin is one of my favorites in the Harry Potter books, and I adore Alcide in Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series. I've written a few werewolf stories myself. I liked this campy salute to the werewolf genre, written by Kevin Williamson and directed by horror vet Wes Craven.
The plot (may contain spoilers) revolves around Ellie, a producer for a late-night talk show in Hollywood. After her parents died, she's taken in her teenage brother ... Read More

If you accept that this film is really intended to be viewed as a comic horror, you'll enjoy. Its a fun cast of young people very much in a Scream kind of way, albeit with werewolves. Its an old idea, but applied with a lot of the Scream pizazz that makes it fun and lighthearted. Some of the special effects are very weak. Best part, though, is it makes fun of scott baio. cant't beat that.

This is a Wes Craven flick, so we have to watch it trying to keep some things in mind. In first place, his acclaimed best movies are not even good, really. His "masterpiece" Nightmare on Elm Street it's a kid's play if compared to some serious horror films. He's no genius, and I think he never tried to be one, but his works seems to appeal to several audiences due to its simplicity and fake atmosphere.
And that's what Cursed is : simply fake, but highly funny and entertaining. So if you keep your ... Read More
