    This ain't no SALEM'S LOT

    The Mandylor brothers, Louis and Costas, who aren't getting any younger or better in the acting department, costar in this no-budget demon-hunting tale set in a Steven King-type small town. The demon has been awakened from a long sleep by the arrival of a young writer, whose family was from the town and who is connected to it somehow. It starts off by killing some cattle and then tears up a whole bunch of people, including most of the cast, which isn't all that large. The script is pretty bad, the acting is wooden, and the special effects are just so-so. The demon itself isn't all that bad-looking and wisely is kept in shadow most of the time -- and frankly it could just as easily have been a werewolf. I think the filmmakers were influenced by the TV show, SUPERNATURAL. The ending is lifted from both John Carpenter's THE THING and THE FALLEN.

    Unnecessary

    The snarling is probably the best part of the movie, followed closely by the smoke screen and screams of horror. Combined, they create a suspenseful atmosphere that requires frequent visits to the washroom and/or hiding under the blanket. The script, camera work, acting and directing are typical of the low budget project. The only thing outstanding is the number of 10 star votes, suggesting of possible computer glitch or heavy shilling (I seriously suspect the later). Overall, 3 stars, minus one for the voting offense.

    Trite thriller inspired no doubt by Stephen King type of stories...

    BRAD THORNTON and LOUIS MANDYLOR star in what feels like a Stephen King story about a sheriff (Mandylor) trying to solve the mysterious deaths of townspeople and farm animals in Tennessee who have fallen prey to a blurry dark figure who seems to be impossible to kill.

    With phony Southern accents for some cast members and CGI effects that are unworthy of even a made-for-TV thriller, none of it appears to be the least bit convincing. It doesn't help that none of the principal roles are played with any distinction.

    Director Joe Bender must be partly to blame but the script is trite, shallow stuff with cardboard characters that have no dimension whatsoever.

    Apparently, the scriptwriter ran out of ideas for the ending and leaves everything pretty much unresolved as to the fates of our hero (Thornton) and the town sheriff.

    Low-budget, but serious and atmospheric

    Although "The Cursed" was shot in 2007 it wasn't released until early 2010 on Syfy.

    THE PLOT: A writer (Brad Thornton) comes to a small Tennessee town to complete a book and strange things start happening – animals and people mysteriously disappear or are slaughtered. He hooks up with a good-looking librarian (Francesca Cecil) and they trace the problem to a satanic curse from the post-Civil War era. Meanwhile the sheriff (Louis Mandylor) is at his wits end trying to figure out what's going on and increasingly suspects the writer's involvement.

    Although this is a low-budget, independent film it's considerably better than Syfy's usual fare, e.g. "Gatorade vs. Mega-Cleavage." How so? For one, it maintains a serious vibe, which is important in an age when most mystery/horror films belong in the comedy section. Secondly, the film creates a mysterious ambiance throughout, akin to "The Fog" but with a Stephen King plot minus the cartoony characters.

    Speaking of the atmosphere, I really liked how you can hear the distinctive Eastern forest sounds, like the crickets and peepers, etc. I realize it's odd to point this out but the movie did this better than any that I can remember. The film was shot in McMinnville, Tennessee, by the way (and it's nice to see a film of this ilk shot somewhere other than Bulgaria, Romania or British Columbia).

    Another positive is the monster's appearance, particularly when it opens its mouth (when it's closed it doesn't look very impressive).

    Negatives include too much obvious dubbing and plot elements that simply don't make sense (why would the killer of the demon become the monster? And how would the old black guy know this with any certainty?); in addition, I disapprove of two important people biting the dust and the very end is lame.

    FINAL WORD: Although it's nothing to get overly excited about, "The Cursed" is effective for a TV horror film. The filmmakers and actors take the material seriously and the film evokes a cool creepy atmosphere, but the negatives cited above force me to give it a fairly mediocre rating or "almost good".

    GRADE: C+.

    Low budget movie, well worth watching it.

    I gave this movie a high rating due to a number of things. First, I have to say, a number of people gave this movie a low rating because it was not a Steven King movie (although the fact is that most movies based on King's books are lousy). So comparing books to movies is not fair. Then, this movie's budget was $1,750,000 an amount that many movies spend feeding the crews. It is set in the deep south, not in some modern city, so the characters fit the settings. This movie is actually based on a couple of legends of the deep south, it is not an adaptation of anyone, including King's books. I found it interesting and unique, not what is now in style, such as the usual "lost footage" (the worse possible thing around) or "woman running through forest", as predictable as it gets. It's not a (teen) vampire movie, a person actually compared it to that. It's bloody and I liked the special effects. For the price they did a very nice job. I don't give many movies high rating, if they are lousy, I so state. Nice take on legends of the south, about evil plantation owners.

      The film was originally going to be named "Tenebrous," meaning dark and shadowy.

      It is stated that the special rifle will sometimes spit out a three round burst when it gets hot, and that as a semi-automatic it is still legal. This is wrong. The BATF ruled that a weapon which fires multiple times for one pull of the trigger regardless of cause is classified as an automatic weapon and requires a special license.
