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.

“A Cursed Man” doesn’t live up to its promise, mainly because the director’s motivations never feel as authentic as the testimony of his interviewees.

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.

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

Rated: C

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.

An unprecedented look at the world of dark magic that proves we are all in the dark somehow.

A Cursed Man definitely gets my blessing, as that old black magic works its spell on the viewer in no time at all.

I would give this a 0 star if I could. A promising premise turned into 90+ minutes I will never get back. Look at the other negative reviews for reference, your time is spent best elsewhere.

Very high reviews. Very boring documentary. Something doesn't add up. I'd suggest you don't watch it.

The premise is interesting but the film is frustrating for it's flimsy execution and anticlimactic ending. The longer the film went the more I wanted to turn it off.

The premise was cool, but it was let down by the film maker. He was very easily influenced, and the testing wasn’t executed well as a result. He basically just demonstrated that the human mind can work itself up and convince itself of anything if you let it, however we all know this already. Key words: *if you let it.* I thought I was going to watch a man who truly didn’t believe, who would be skeptical and logical about everything, who wanted to get cursed and then go “yep, see, everything’s the same” demonstrating over time that despite this mindset it doesn’t or does exist, even without belief. This guy believed SO quickly he just freaked himself out. And there are moments that felt so cringey like him going mountain biking and getting a skinned knee and blaming that on being cursed. I think at the end of the day because life can also be random and things just happen good and bad, it’s impossible to blame 1 or 2 things on a curse. Logic is if you go mountain biking through the bush over rocks and dirt, you have a 50/50 chance of tumbling off. Doesn’t prove curses exist. See scary things, you have nightmares. Doesn’t mean curses exist. The test was way too short and he was too freaked out for it to conclude anything. It was disappointing. LOVED all the witch Drs though, they were very cool. Would have loved to see what a better film maker could have done with it.
