Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Paul Arendt BBC.com Cursed is no Scream, but it is at least a healthy yelp. Rated: 3/5 Mar 29, 2005 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Genre fans and newcomers alike should skip this monstrosity and go rent Ginger Snaps instead. Rated: 1/5 Mar 7, 2005 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy After a promising start, Cursed rapidly self-destructs and ends up in complete ruin. Rated: 1.5/4 May 16, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants The big transformation scene was like watching a cartoon Popple emerge Jul 6, 2021 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast 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. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Latrell 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 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/22 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história que tem partes do lobisomem são fracas, o elenco é bacana mas ninguém faz o filme melhorar e nem os protagonistas melhoram o filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Ashley A Cursed is one of my favorite werewolf movies & I don’t understand why it’s gets so much hate from people. A lot of the reviews people leave are about the poor CGI but it was 2005 after all & they didn’t have the technology we have today so it could of been way worse than it was. The pg-13 version is wack but the R version delivers!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review brad p It's a real shame Wes never got to make the film he had in mind, leaving this tainted exercise in studio interference as part of his legacy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Carlos I Pretty lame attempt at replicating and mashing up the successes of Scream and Ginger Snaps. There are a couple fun beats, Christina Ricci tries her damnedest and the Hollywood setting is pretty cool, but overall this is just a lame dog. It's really unfortunate that the studio interfered soo hard, because you could see the seeds of something pretty cool, but instead we get a goofy werewolf movie, with horrendous CGI and groanworthy jokes. I wish I could see that original cut. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/22 Full Review Audience Member Idc what people say. This was a super fun popcorn creature feature. Yea it’s campy and there’s a lot wrong with the plot and the twist villain was dumb, but I enjoyed it. Idk. Maybe I’m just a sucker for horror films but tbh not everything has to be perfect or super serious. I’m glad I saw it. I had a good time.
