Synopsis
With CURSED, screenwriter Kevin Williamson and director Wes Craven (SCREAM) take another playful trip to the dark side. This time around, their sights are set on one of the horror genre's most popular subjects: werewolves. Set in an ultra-hip modern Los Angeles, the film tells the tale of siblings Ellie (Christina Ricci) and Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg), who have yet to fully come to terms with the loss of their parents. Ellie works at 'The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn' and dates ladies' man Jake (Joshua Jackson), while Jimmy is a less-than-popular high school student with a crush on the prettiest girl in school (Kristina Anapau). But one night, after Ellie and Jimmy get into a car accident on Mulholland Drive, they are bitten by what appears to be a bona fide werewolf. Soon, both brother and sister are exhibiting behaviour that can only mean one thing--that they, too, have been cursed. A troubled production history notwithstanding, Craven's film remains a fast-paced, clever addition to the genre. Featuring a star-studded supporting cast (including Mya, Judy Greer, and Shannon Elizabeth), as well as an energetic modern rock soundtrack, CURSED takes viewers on a thrill-ride through the dark side of Los Angeles.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Let Down, 4 Nov 2005
I love all my cult horror films, such as An American Werewolf in Paris, and all the ginger snaps titles.

When i saw this film, i thought brilliant, another good werewolf flick!, however it wasn't.

The story line was not gritty enough, and the actors were a little weak. I was really dissapointed to say the least, Its watchable, but really thats about it.

If you are really into your cult horror films, then save yourself the trouble and give this one a miss.

4.0 out of 5 stars FUN - BUT GET US UNRATED VERSION!, 25 Aug 2005
This film can be summed up in one word = FUN! Its not a serious horror film so don't think otherwise. Christina Ricci is great (as allways), Joshua Jackson is a good bad-guy and the rest of the cast are fine. But even though i love the film, it's not a patch on the US Unrated version! It's got lots more gore - you see Mya getting it where the toned down UK version blanks out, a longer uncut scene where Shannon Elizabeth dies and an OTT dream sequence that could come from Kill Bill! So if you want just a fun film get this, but if your a hardcore horror fan import the US version - it's way better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Campy fun, 23 Jul 2005
By L. Omelasz "brekkie_tiffs" (Dundee, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
What Cursed sets out to do is to be a fun, campy horror and it succeeds in doing so. From the Zela the psychic to pretty much everything, you know that this film isn't going to earn a place in the Hall of Werewolf Movies anytime soon. However, just because it's impossible to take it really seriously, doesn't mean you can't have some fun with it. The trick is to not walk into the cinema expecting an original, fresh and clever horror because that just isn't what Cursed is like (which may explain why so many people were massively let down by it); just don't take it too seriously and you could, like I did, find yourself enjoying it. Christina Ricci is fantastic as always as is jesse Einberg who provides the humour (and some corny/cringeworthy bits). Judy Greer is in superb bitchy form while it's a pleasure to see the gorgeous Joshua Jackson back on the big screen. The FX aren't too great but compared to Catwoman, it's Jurassic Park. The music's also particularly good as well and compliments the film well. Now onto the negatives (BEWARE SPOILERS AHEAD)...

Why is Shannon Elizabeth in this? Why? She's barely in it for five minutes but she manages to earn the sought-after 'with' title in the credits. Also, as one reviewer in particular said, there is a lot of chunks missing from the movie. You never see Shannon Elizabeth or Mya getting ripped to pieces by the werewolf (which highlights another problem: lack of gore). In Shannon Elizabeth's case, you just see her getting dragged away and that's that and in Mya's case, the scene fades to black when the werewolf finally gets her. Also, how on earth did Ellie (Ricci) get scratched by the werewolf when Jimmy is on Shannon Elizabeth who's being dragged by the werewolf? It just makes no sense. Finally, Portia de Rossi is spectacularly wasted in this movie. She's in the opening scene of the film and, for me, one of the more appealing characters but after that, it's just one more scene with her when she tells Ellie she's 'cursed' and that's it. I know Portia isn't one of the main players but more could have been done with her character because she is very intriguing (Zela that is).

Overall, it's by no means a masterpiece but it's not exactly Wes Craven's worst effort (I'm ignoring Music of the Heart completely). Despite a handful of negatives (and a cringeworthy appearance by Scott Baio), it's a horror that IS very corny at times but in a fun sort of way.
