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

Latrell 02/21/2022 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 Nick O Jun 25 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 May 11 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 thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 12 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. See more Ashley A Jan 12 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!! See more brad p 02/21/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
