Documentary filmmaker Liam Le Guillou enters the world of witchcraft: and the occult, searching for an answer to the question "is magic real?" Seeking out some of the world's most powerful dark magic practitioners, Le Guillou will ask the unthinkable -- will they put a Curse on him. Meeting with Witches in California, Voodoo practitioners in New Orleans, Tantrics in India, and even a Satanist Shaman in Mexico, the filmmaker exposes himself to some of the world's darkest magic. On his Journey, Le Guillou meets with psychologists, and scientists studying the real world eﬀects of magic and the power of belief. As the consequences of his request begin to hit home, Le Guillou seeks out help from the very witches that warned him of his actions, forcing him to question the nature of reality in this dangerous, never-before-seen, dark social experiment.

I applaud the premise behind this movie more than I do the execution, which perhaps needed a different frontman to agitate whatever dark forces may or may not be out there.

Crooked Marquee

Filmmaker Liam Le Guillou comes off like a cross between Morgan Spurlock and Zak Bagans in this hokey documentary about supposed black magic.

As the widespread belief in witchcraft and curses exists, there is enough history to accept it as a real phenomenon. Le Guillou’s travel documentary challenging the subject, brings it into the mainstream. Don’t bring your small children to Rwanda.

He was boring, he stays the same calm boring self throughout the whole film but yet claims he has bad anxiety all day long from the curse. The men he went to see in the film was better than him. Hes too boring and no facial expression to host a documentary… hes robot like.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

There was no point to that documentery. Everything was just vague, nothing clear on the experience he had or what he ask for. The spells were done and undone like nothing happen. Wast of money and time

This documentary left me wanting more, which shows what a good story it presented. The adventure you're taken on as an audience member is utterly captivating, slightly scary, and ultimately humbling. I loved seeing this world through Liam's (the director's) experiences and through the thoughtful guides he sought out on his journey. Highly recommend to all who are curious about what is out there beyond current science and what dwells within us.

"A Cursed Man" is a film that definitely draws you in with an eerie premise, "If I wish for proof of demonic powers, will they manifest?". A narrative that perfectly balances skepticism with an informed portrayal of unorthodox religious practices and paranormal studies. Accepting from the very beginning that any result could be psychosomatic without patronizing the possibility of metaphysical influences. The viewer is allowed unfettered to interpret the findings for themselves. But I will say this, the film definitely lingers in the mind. Make no mistake that An Unknown Compelling Force, whether it be internal or external, affects our lives in very tangible ways.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
