If it fails as a thematically rich Gothic horror, it could at least have been an entertaining monster flick, but it manages to let the audience down on that count as well.

| Original Score: C | Jun 13, 2024

The Cursed has some great shots and some moments that were very well directed. But in terms of the acting and story it is very fleeting. Just don't have much in terms of repeated viewing value and some great ideas but poor execution

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Dec 26, 2022

...the arms-length atmosphere is perpetuated by an egregiously overlong running time...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 18, 2022

There’s no real silver lining when it comes to The Cursed, which is all bark and no bite.

| Original Score: C | Dec 10, 2022

The Cursed set out to be a gothic werewolf-ish horror and it achieved all of those things, but ultimately the way that it uses historical trauma as the backdrop for its curse turns the script into far more of a horror than the story itself.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 24, 2022

The Cursed does boast an impressive command of atmosphere and both minor and major scares. It's also very handsomely costumed by Oscar-nominated Madeline Fontaine.

| Original Score: B | Jul 29, 2022

Some turn-the-fog-machine-up-to-11-and-rip-the-knob-off style doesn’t go far enough for The Cursed, which ultimately is little more than a rote creature feature.

| Jul 18, 2022

The Cursed delivers a unique creature feature that is as atmospheric as it is gruesome.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | May 10, 2022

A visually stunning horror period piece with haunting monsters and scenes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2022

The Cursed makes some unique and effective visual departures from a typical werewolf horror movie. The movie's pace is sometimes sluggish, but the terror scenes more than make up for the film's minor flaws.

| Apr 3, 2022

In spite of an often slack runtime, distant emotion, and uneven scares, theres a violently entertaining mix of classic trappings and digital terror here.

In more discerning hands, it could have accomplished what Sean Ellis seemingly set out to do, but The Cursed is not a werewolf horror worth devouring.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2022

The results are mixed, but when writerdirector Sean Ellis digs deep into his genre riffs and dread-laced atmosphere, iThe Cursedi really works as a modern take on some very old werewolf tropes.

| Mar 12, 2022

Cursed is an atmospheric horror tale with teeth.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 7, 2022

With strong characters and refreshingly unsettling horror violence, The Cursed is a fun chiller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2022

Number one, any chance to see Kelly Reilly in a movie should not be missed. Number two, the movie is a horror film that is fun.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 2, 2022

Despite its tiny budget, the film has a rich look and a cheeky werewolf feel to it.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 1, 2022

The Cursed acquits itself nicely. Through skill, intelligence, and some jaw-dropping gore effects, it enters the top tier of werewolf movies.

| Feb 28, 2022

The movie has a good time tinkering with the werewolf mythos -- changing it up in some cool and interesting ways while still embracing the gory goodness utilized in films such as An American Werewolf in London and The Howling.

| Feb 25, 2022

The Cursed finds itself wandering about for a bit too long. Still, when its at its best, this film has bite.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 25, 2022
