A predictable plot and cheesy special effects make Cursed a less-than-scary experience.

A film that is overshadowed by its admittedly tumultuous production history and horror stories of studio interference. It's still not a good movie, though. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Latrell Feb 21, 2022 It was not interesting, my son was bored and so was I. I may be slow a lil bit but was confused most of the movie See more Theresa T @RT01764287 6 days ago It’s definitely not a horror werewolf movie. One of the funniest werewolf movies besides American werewolf in Paris. Love them both and hilarious. See more Robert P @Superbad Oct 5, 2026 Cursed is a terrible movie! See more Ian S @RT48225084 Jun 19, 2026 Only Christina Ricci kept it watchable. One of Craven's weaker efforts. Didn't make it to the finish without good use of the fast forward button. Weak and dull. See more Nick O @Nicki1985 Jun 25, 2025 Sure, it absolutely oozes 2000’s era horror with everything from the cast to the dialogue, but even if Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson didn’t try very hard, they still managed to make a pretty fun werewolf flick. See more Shirlene G @RT36079882 May 11, 2025 I have watched this movie about a dozen times. My kids loved it, I loved watching them jump and the stars are great. Watch it yourself and remember it’s a fun story, not a documentary. I don’t know why “professional critics “ even bother with a voice. They never match what viewers think so how are they necessary? Aren’t we the ones spending money at the theater and home subscriptions? I’m not being paid to lie so enjoy your werewolf movie See more Read all reviews
