I have a very personal connection with this movie, this was the absolute first horror movie. I liked the actors and wanted I start with something not too scary, which looking at it now as a very big horror person is a problem, not very scary. I do like the characters very much and I'm sorry but I find Jesse Eisenberg very attractive in this movie. I like the funny elements in this film and the side characters are very enjoyable as well. I do feel this movie could have pushed the limit a little bit more and been a bit more violent or gruesome, for a Wes Craven movie I thought they were kind of playing it safe. Still I enjoyed the end and I really enjoyed how Eisenberg's and Ricci's got super confident in themselves was a good touch. All in all it is not a great but it is enjoyable

This one has it's moments of being really good then slumps and drags for awhile, picks back up again, then drags, then picks back up. It's sorta a roller-coaster ride film for me.It is a comedy-horror and not everyone gets "comedy-horror". I found some of the comedy lame while some of it I laughed out loud. I think this one would have been much better as a pure horror myself because the werewolf is great! This is a film where the reviews are about equally split - some love it, some hated it. Like any film you should watch it to find out if it suits your taste.5/10

A somewhat underrated and much-maligned movie that, yes, had a very troubled (cursed?) production. But I think if you enjoy other movies written by Kevin Williamson, like The Faculty and I Know What You Did Last Summer, you'll probably like this more than others who were expecting something different. If you're a Wes Craven fan hoping for a scary movie, then yeah you'll probably hate this. As a horror movie, it's not impressive. I was never scared for one second. The CGI effects for the werewolves are not the greatest. But as one of those non-scary movies with a horror backdrop where the young pretty people all say snappy lines and make pop culture references, it's entertaining enough. I guess it comes down to expectations. I don't think it's close to the best either Craven or Williamson has done but it's not the total stinker people make it out to be. One review I read referred to it as "disappointingly routine" and I think that's a fair criticism for it. There's nothing really new here but, in my view, that doesn't stop the movie from being enjoyable in its way. I have seen it a few times since its initial release (where I was in a theater opening weekend to see it) and each time I've found it entertaining. Try and put preconceived notions aside and give it a fair shot. It won't likely become one of your favorite werewolf movies but there's a good chance you'll walk away thinking this is better than its reputation suggests.

There's no reason why Cursed couldn't have been a good movie, especially considering some of the big name talent on hand. The film certainly looks good, and if nothing else it's a slick, visually appealing movie. Once you get past the production values, though, Cursed falls apart. The script tries way too hard to be "hip" in the Scream fashion, but even if you assume that's a valid aspiration, it fails miserably. There's a lot of really silly comic relief, and if you rent this movie looking for a few good scares, forget it, they aren't here. The only real bright spot in the production is Christina Ricci, who delivers by far the best performance and tries to make her character work as something other than a joke--if only a few of her co-stars had taken a similar approach. This is more of a teen comedy of manners than a werewolf film, so if the latter is what you want, look elsewhere.
