Review of The Cursed

The Cursed (2021)
2/10
Great cinematography, TERRIBLE storytelling!!
6 May 2022
This movie got me in by the atmosphere of the shots in the trailer. They looked great, dark, serious, mysterious.

Its too bad nothing else in the movie recipricated that.

There was no proper introduction to characters to give you any sort of good connection to them, so that by the time things start to happen, you really dont even care about who its happening to.

Main character (john) by far gave the worst performance, i always felt like he was just trying so hard to look cool and sexy. Though the rest of the cast was pretty good.

Cgi sucked. Very gray, lighting didnt match the scenes, and way too many sustained shots on the monsters that constantly reminded me that it was cgi.

Overall storytelling was terrible! Many useless scenes that have no purpose, quick cuts to the middle of an unrelated plot point, and way way way way too many conveniences. I know thats vague, but seriously it was cliche, convenient, and full of holes.

Honestly not worth it....
