A post-"Scream"(1996) Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson teamed back up to tackle the werewolf genre, but unfortunately this was their disappointing result. While I might have some personal nostalgia for the movie, after sneaking out of the house late one night to the theater with my cousin, back in the day when I still had my boyhood crush on Christina Ricci, yet the movie is still a forgettably generic cheesy 00's horror film. Only for lycanthrope lovers looking for ways to spend their full moon.

Sad to see Christina Ricci wasting her talent this way...

Craven collected two cheques for filming two different versions of this crap, but somehow I can't imagine the other version being better. Craven and Williamson tried to reinvent the werewolf horror sub-genre like they did the slasher genre 9 years earlier, but they were applying old rules to a new game; with gorno on the rise, this kind of playful po-mo self reflexive horror felt desperately dated in 2005. A similar fate would befall the creative team's next project: Scream IV.

Derivative werewolf nonsense with lame teen-soap-opera sentimentality, poor special effects and a plot that recycles every horror trope in the book. The standard is set early on when Ricci forces another car off the road and sends it careening down a ravine. Her next line is: "Someone could be hurt!". Well, gee, y'think?! It's that bad.

Cursed is a disappointing, formulaic horror movie (complete with ample references to classic horror films that did not use this formula) that highlights once again that Wes Craven somewhere in the 90s ushered any real talent he had out the door. slowly builds to its predictable end, a werewolf crawls on the ceiling for some reason, and all that's missing out of the generic horror formula is a surprise "IT'S NOT OVER!" ending.

On a clear, full moon night, Ellie (Christina Ricci) and her brother Jimmy lose control and another road user crashes her car into a ravine. They try to help her, but during this rescue, the brother and sister are bitten by a dog-like creature. Their lives have not been the same since then. The accident turns out to be much more than a fateful combination of circumstances. The brother and sister suddenly have inexplicable physical powers and are both extremely irritable.
