It really never deserved to be more than a quickie TV-movie on the WB, where it would've aired around Halloween and then faded into oblivion.

A procession of silly startlements: a sudden loud sound here, a mysterious hand creeping in there. This isn't scary, it's irritating. And then it's tiresome.

Until this past Friday, the worst werewolf film ever made was, hairy hands down, Mike Nichols' Wolf. Cursed now assumes that dubious distinction and someone is going to have to try very hard to wrestle it away.

Cursed, somehow, manages to not be scary, not be funny and not be involving, all of which Craven & Co. are so painfully reaching to attain.

a confusing mess, occasionally funny, but with hardly enough bite to get you howling

Watchable horror film has good performances and several nice moments but it's let down by some dodgy CGI and a patchy script.

Cursed is a sheep in wolf’s clothing, pulling the wool over what might have been a decent bit of rip and shred.

If this is the way Craven is headed, we should be mourning the loss of a true talent.

They band together to combat the curse of these unnatural impulses and strike out to kill their original attacker in hopes of saving themselves.

Cursed feels like a series of curveballs designed to confuse the audience into thinking they're watching anything other than bad dialogue.
