      Audience Member Low budget and dreadful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally disappointing :| Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The full star is for the great shots of Alcatraz. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member meh it was ok there is a head smashing scene that is awesome Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great idea for a movie, a supernatural horror flick, that was actually filmed at Alcatraz prison. There were a dozen ways to make this film work, even on a shoestring budget, unfortunately they didn't use any of them. The story begins with a construction crew doing renovations on the old prison, which is now a national park. The team uncovers a sealed off room and when they begin digging, they find human remains. Did the body belong to a guard or a prisoner? No, they belong to Native American, who would have died long before the prison opened, but was somehow found inside this room. After a long period of non-sense, it is discovered that the body is cursed, and causes anyone who comes in contact with it, to go on a killing spree. This could have been a great mystery about some crime at the prison that was never known or solved. Maybe it could have been a good ghost story, but no, it had to be some weird possession story, that made no sense what-so-ever. The story starts out interesting, but quickly becomes a complete joke. The writing is horrendous and performed by a less than adequate cast. The only name of recognition was Jose Solano, a soap actor, who was on Baywatch the last couple of seasons. For some reason, he is in a wheelchair and does nothing but joke about being crippled. Sometimes really bad Horror films can get away with cheesy acting and a bad story, as long as they make you laugh, but there is nothing funny about this movie. Even though it has a creepy cover and was filmed in a really cool location, Curse of Alcatraz fails to deliver and is a complete waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very good, filmed on 20$ budge. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
