User Reviews: I like 80s horror flicks, they’re so unintentionally funny 🙂 It could be either the comical makeup of dead people walking or the monsters or certain scenes intended to be scary but instead leaves you rolling on your stomach.

To me, The Curse, is mostly funny(intentionally or not), part horror but either way, still an absurd movie! Absurd because we’ve an inconsistent story that messes things up. There’s an alien object that crash lands on earth and changes the lives of a farm family for the worse. Which is all fine, but this object is erratic in its destructive nature, thereby giving its victims enough time to flee. It seems to kill people or animals only when it’s in the mood 🙂

There’re certain characters too, after being in important scenes, just disappear from the proceedings after a while, and we’ve no clue as to what happens to them.

However there’re on screen moments that are quite scary, coupled with eerie background score that heightens the anticipation.

And some of the acting also contribute, bringing the fear factor alive in the movie – like Wil Wheaton as Zack, Claude Akins(as the god-fearing, strict stepfather of Zack) and Kathleen Jordon Gregory(as Zack’s mother). Kathleen’s performance, especially, is the highlight of The Curse.

Also, let’s not forget the enough doses of skin show that adds to the excitement or fear…whichever way we want it :p

Verdict: If you’ve always enjoyed illogical or senseless horror, The Curse perfectly fits the chill, oops…bill 🙂
