THE PLOT:

While heading home after a Hollywood Party, Elle and Jimmy experience a car wreck and while trying to help the person who caused the wreck, she is torn in half and the siblings and hurt by some kind of animal.

What they believed to be just an animal is a werewolf and it seems to be stalking women, women who show any kind of interest in a man trying to get a wax museum. Now cursed, if they can't find out who the original werewolf is, they will hunt the flesh of the innocent for the rest of time.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

As you may or may not be aware of is the fact how much I loved the movie The Lost Boys and this movie has many of the same good elements as The Lost Boys. It has great characters, it has a great story, great effects. Funny and scary, it's just a great movie. Christina Ricci has been in many of my favorite movies in her career, the live action Casper, the remake of the ADDAMS' FAMILY, and more recently BLACK SNAKE MOAN. Now, the identity of the werewolf will keep you guessing and it gets dark in places and there are some minor character issues in the minor characters. But on the whole this is a masterpiece in horror and Wes Craven has done it again. So to me this is the werewolf equivalent to the Lost Boys and well worth watching, over and over again. 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I got to agree with Zedd on this on both Cursed and the Lost Boys. But are great, exciting and interesting horror flicks with a sense of humor. Wes Craven is one of the best horror directors around, not perfect, some of his movies are better then others and I have to say that this is one of his better ones. I give it 9 STARS also.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ CHARACTERS (Characters are well written.)
+ STORY (The story works.)
+ CAST (The cast does an amazing job.)
+ HUMOR(There is a sense of humor throughout it)
+ SCARY (Without getting draggy, the right of amount of frights and horror.)
+ UNRATED VERSION (I suggest you try the unrated version.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- MINOR CHARACTER ISSUES (There are some minor character issues in the subtext.)

AND FINALLY....

- FAN BASED (If you aren't a fan of werewolf movies or Wes Craven, then this may not be the movie for you.)
